The menu is wide ranging and has some decent options away from meat including; sea bream, cod and spiced aubergine. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, with the…

Portly Eats | Mangiare | Newmarket, UK
So a good while ago now along with @haleybell_ig I ventured to Mangiare in Newmarket. It had recently opened and everyone had told me that I should go and check it out. So with a table booked on a rather chilly Saturday evening it was time for dinner. Walking in I didn’t realise quite how…

It is extremely thin dough much like pizza that…
