The SwiftKey Reunion Brunch, Regent Street, Cambridge - 12th January 2019

It's the morning after the SwiftKey Ten Year Reunion, and although Nosher left before midnight because the bar was too crowded and so missed out on the case of Port that was exhumed from behind the bar because everything else had run out, it still felt early enough for a 10:30 meet at the Old Bicycle Club café on Regent Street - up until 2013 the site of Howes Cycles, which had been there for 173 years and from where Charles Darwin once allegedly purchased a bicycle. As with the Selwyn College bar, slightly too many people have to cram in to the venue, and so it takes a fair while to get everyone sorted. However, the place does serve what appears to be the largest Croque Madame toasted sandwiches known to mankind. After brunch (or actual lunch in reality by the time it happens), Nosher wanders up to town to visit Fopp Records and go up the tower of Great St. Mary, near King's Parade.
