Food scene
Pear Tree Inn Pear & Olive
High StreetGreat locally sourced food with a french twist. Very friendly Chef Gael.
Situated in the chocolate box high street of Linton in South Cambridgeshire, The Linton Kitchen has well and truly become a community hub since opening in April 2013.
“The kitchen was such an important part of growing up for me, both in my childhood home and the homes of my close friends and family. The kettle was always on, the welcome always warm, and the food always plentiful. Coupled with my experience working in inner city cafes in Australia, and rural pubs in the UK I have been lucky enough to open up a shop that can offer everyone who visits The Linton Kitchen a small slice of this wonderful environment I grew up in. A place where people meet old friends and make new ones, talk, laugh, cry and make happy memories.” Gemma, Owner.
Jam-packed with local foodie treasures, and bursting with charm, we are open seven days a week and offer light lunches, thoughtfully sourced tea and coffee and the all-important homemade cake. They use local ingredients, including seasonal organic fruit and veg where possible resulting in simple, honest and tasty food.
