Located on the sixth floor of the Varsity Hotel, just under the famous rooftop bar, Six was the very appropriate location for the Varsity exec team’s first official meeting. Having been taken up to the restaurant by a friendly doorman, plans for a celebratory pre-meal drink on the balcony were literally blown aside by the famous Cambridge wind (it comes all the way from the Urals apparently).

Inside, however, the restaurant still deserves full marks for ambiance. Padded out with plush velvet interiors, dark wooded features and a state-of-the-art bar, the panoramic views spanning Midsummer Common around to Trinity are among the best in Cambridge. Although the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, service was quick, friendly and unintimidating. The menu was wide-ranging enough to cater for everyone’s fancies but also not overwhelmingly large.

The starters were perfect Instagram fodder, with dishes like roasted beetroot with goat’s cheese and sunflower seeds and pan-fried scallops with watercress and chilli, although we were left bemusedly wondering what on earth “butter lettuce” might be. Callum and Louis tucked into a hearty steak and rotisserie chicken respectively, while Millie and I (newly back from the continent following our Year Abroad) opted for wood-fired pizzas. If you’ve got room, their puddings are comfortingly classic and generous (Eton mess and chocolate caramel brownies).

Six probably isn’t the sort of place you’d go for a casual Saturday night meal with pals but rather an end of term splash out, with parents kindly in attendance to take the bill – the brunch options were also pretty enticing.

However, this October the restaurant are giving Cambridge students the chance to eat and drink for free. Simply roll the lucky number six at the end of your meal and the whole table eats for free. And at one in six, the odds aren’t bad at all.
