Bull & Bass

Bull and Bass brings an easy-going elegance to Cambridge evenings, opening Tuesday to Saturday for dinner. Its kitchen champions the finest ingredients from land and sea, pairing mouth-watering plates with a considered selection of exciting wines, all in a relaxing, unhurried setting.

The cooking leans modern and ingredient-led, with an eye for seasonality. There is an a la carte menu alongside seasonal specials, so plates evolve with the market and the tide. Think crisp tempura squid that snaps with freshness, the simple pleasure of warm garlic and herb focaccia and briny olives, and a confident hand that lets good produce do the talking.

Families are welcomed, too. A dedicated children’s menu keeps younger diners happy with comforting favourites, from veggie tots and cheesy garlic bread to a cheeseburger or bangers and mash, rounded off with the fun of DIY Eton Mess or a fudgy chocolate brownie. The mood throughout is convivial and calm, made for lingering conversations and second glasses.

Settle in for dinner, follow the seasonal thread or explore the a la carte, and let Bull and Bass steer the course. Book your spot and make a night of it — hook, line and sinker.
