Fitzbillies

If you happen to be on Trumpington Street in Cambridge and notice townsfolk and students braving snaking queues and some of them walking away with their prized Chelsea buns, fruitcakes and sponges; you know you're outside Fitzbillies. Established in 1922 by the Mason brothers, their speciality ultra-sticky Chelsea bun is rich, spicy and syrupy and make a great gifting idea.

An evening meal at the restaurant next door could start with a confit of duck salad or tuna carpaccio rolled in black and white sesame seeds. This could be followed by chicken supreme with thyme wrapped in streaky bacon with baby spinach and garlic mash or tagliatelle with Fitzbillies fresh pesto and Parmesan shavings, and a chocolate and raspberry marquis to finish.

Those who'd like to revive the Fitzbillies experience at home are likely to find the enticing display of cakes, biscuits, pastries and confectionary at the shop too hard to resist.
