You must eat something GREEN & something RESEMBLING MONEY (both coins and notes count ), and something RICH IN PROTEINS & GOOD FAT — all to ward off bad omens, invite prosperity and health, and call in as much good luck as possible!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 These centuries-old traditions are what inspired our festive New Year’s Day menu.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 On offer for one more day — Sunday the 4th, until 5:30pm — and then again next New Year’s weekend in 2026.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What you see across the slides:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 1st & 4th slides — PAUS-made Pirogi with divine fillings. The Polish & Czechoslovakian communities may not have fully discovered this dish with us just yet, but judging by the feedback since New Year’s Day, we’re confident to say: Pirogi are becoming the new stars of our menu
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 2nd slide — The reasoning behind each of these traditions (or superstitions? — native English speakers, we’d genuinely love your thoughts on the best word here 👀).

🍀 3rd slide — Another hero dish: roasted pork belly, potato rösti, and the most delicious braised red cabbage, cooked exactly as our 85-year-old Grandma Ester makes it back home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 6th slide — PAUS-grown leek, pea & mint soup, fulfilling the “something green” rule at 200% (and apologies for slightly shaky hands).

🍀7th slide: Novoročná Kapustnica // Festive Sauerkraut, pork, wild mushrooms and smoked sausage stew
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍀 Last slide — A beautifully unusual tradition we’ve adopted with the land we now call home:
PAUS-grown nettle & poppy seed sponge.
Something green ✔️
plus poppy seeds ✔️
— you see why this is such a good idea at the very start of the New Year, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking forward to sharing these lucky, nourishing moments with you.

Groups of less than 4, just pop in. More thsn 4, please call to check the availability. 07828978811

HAPPY NEW YEAR, our dearest PAUS.community

✨The year began exactly how we love it most — filled with laughter, love, and that unmistakable PAUS spirit.

✨ We’re sharing here just a fraction of the many lovely moments from NYD 2026:

• The ever-popular PAUS.NYD Retreat, including yoga, journaling, the Wishing Tree ritual, shaking & tapping, and several more heart-filling practices, alongside the full bathing experience and yummy lunch

• Ice O’Clock at 10am — now our fixed Thursday time

• Kissing under the mistletoe, to secure strong bonds all year round

• Hot tub sessions enjoyed by both newcomers and familiar faces, plus a record number of sauna bathers

• Special dishes from our New Year’s Day menu truly went down a storm — you have to try the pirogy, generously filled and utterly heavenly

• Even the skies reminding us just how spectacular the views from our Hilltop are

This week, we’re open 10am–6pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

You might secure a bathing spot, a Bistro table — or both 🤍

Preparation for the first four epic days of 2026 at the Hilltop full steam ahead!

✨Across the bathing site, in the kitchen, through the garden and out into the meadows, the excitement is truly palpable - can’t wait to welcome you all back.

1st January is booked out, but there are still a few spaces available on the following days.

On our regular walks around grounds and gardens today, we noticed one cornflower in bloom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💙 Despite the cheerful company of our granddaughters, the pleasing look of every corner of the garden in the soft winter light, I can’t stop thinking about that flower — blooming in December.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩵 Is it a subtle sign that nature feels our impact more than we like to admit?
Or, perhaps,
💚 it’s simply nature inviting us to pause, step outside, and notice the little wonders that matter more than the season’s hurry and noise…

👍 let’s choose to believe the latter.

Our story so far...

PAUS.

(pronounced pause)

Our mission is to provide the ultimate in outdoor relaxation,

A breathing space set in the Cambridgeshire countryside inspired by the Scandinavian philosophy of balance. A space for relaxing in wood fired, red cedar hot tubs and authentic barrel sauna. A space for stretching your mind and body with creative and fun workshops and for brunch with friends on fireside deckchairs.
