Some of the best dining out deals during January
Pay what it’s worth at d’Arry’s
King Street restaurant d’Arry’s is taking a unique approach to dining out this January, offering a “pay what you think it’s worth” deal on their new lunch menu. Throughout the month, diners will be able to feast on indulgent dishes like crispy chicken and cheese fondue, French onion soup with warm focaccia and triple-stacked burgers.
“We’re so proud of the new menu that we want as many people as possible to try it out,” explains general manager Ben Harker. “These days too many people work through lunch, so we hope this will be a good way to get them to leave their desks and have a great meal. By allowing people to pay what they think the food is worth they have nothing to lose! Hopefully they will then think about trying us again.”
The offer will be running in both the restaurant downstairs and the Liquor Loft upstairs. To take advantage of it, simply pre-book your table.
An Italian feast at The Three Horseshoes 
A long-standing favourite on the Cambridgeshire dining scene, The Three Horseshoes at Madingley is bringing a little Italian indulgence to the rather gloomy month of January. From 3 to 20 January, diners will be able to enjoy a sumptuous Italian-themed set menu priced at £18.50 for two courses or £24 for three (both lunch and dinnertime, excluding only Saturday night and Sunday lunch).
The offer includes a glass of top-quality Italian fizz, and features dishes like beetroot and thyme risotto, spinach, ricotta and pecorino cake with chicory and walnuts, and panna cotta with blood orange for dessert. Sounds good to us!

Make your January extra tasty with a trip to Quayside favourite Thaikhun, which is offering two for the price of one on main courses from 3 January to 31 January (Sundays to Thursdays).

Nestled in the gleaming square outside our newly revamped train station, Station Tavern will be offering a hard-to-beat bargain of two main courses for just £20 during January.

Main for £1 at Carluccio’s

Veggie favourite penne giardiniera, Carluccio’s iconic past dish with crispy spinach balls, courgette chilli and garlic is back, while a spicy stew of cod, prawns, mussels and clams in a tomato and fennel sauce, stufato di pesce, may tempt those keen on a fish option.
