Eating Out: Cambridge flammekueche brand Amelie arrives in Suffolk

Cambridge flammekueche brand Amelie arrives in Suffolk - taking up alfresco residency at Wyken’s The Leaping Hare. . .

Already home to acclaimed restaurant The Leaping Hare, a heaving weekend farmers’ market and a newly opened branch of Wooster’s Bakery, Stanton’s Wyken Vineyard has this month added another string to its foodie bow: Amelie, the Cambridge-born flammekueche brand, has taken up residency.

Moving into the onsite pizza kitchen, housed in a converted barn and complete with wood-fired oven, Amelie will be serving on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from morning through to 3pm. With outdoor tables - and blankets, heaters and chimneys on hand, should temperatures drop - evening sundowners and special events are also planned.

The brainchild of Regis and Alex Crepy, who also run the two AA Rosette restaurant at Ely’s Ben’s Yard, Amelie’s ultra-thin flatbreads, traditional to Alsace, are spread with creme fraiche and topped with everything from classic bacon, onion and gruyere to vegetarian and sweet-treat options.

In keeping with Wyken’s focus on sustainablity, the Crepys will also be using ingredients grown, foraged and reared on its Stanton estate - think grilled asparagus, wild garlic pesto, venison sausage.
