Our Story

The Folio Bar & Kitchen offers locally-sourced, healthy and sustainable food choices and fine drinks to our guests and neighbours, who are looking for a tranquil and inspiring environment to dine or drink in Cambridge.

The name Folio refers to a book (or manuscript) consisting of large sheets of paper folded in the middle to make two leaves or four pages as in the first folio of Shakespeare’s plays.

We take this name in homage to the inspiring published works of The Fellows of Cambridge University, as well as the many great authors and writers who have called this city their home over the centuries.

At The Folio Bar & Kitchen, we see our menus as our great works and a source of inspiration for all who seek great food and drink in Cambridge.
