04 Cheese Menu

4 for £12
6 for £17

Cardo
A washed-rind goats cheese: the supple, glossy paste is typically chalkier, curdier at core; floral flavours are cut with a vegetal bitterness. The rind is savoury and rich; texture is toothsome, sometimes with pleasant crystalline crunch.

Tunworth
A camembert-style cheese with a delicate, papery rind and a classic, creamy paste; flavours are vegetal, sometimes cut through with pleasant bitterness.

Isle of Mull Cheddar
A hearty, full-flavoured Scottish Cheddar. Isle of Mull is a bit drier in texture than our other Cheddars with flavours that range from upfront, silagey and boozy to rich, savoury and mellow.

Appleby’s Cheshire
Appleby’s Cheshire is a cheese to sit down and eat rather than nibble at, a balance of rich mineral flavours and acidity with a crumbly texture that’s not overly dry.

Stichelton
This cheese can express a multitude of long lasting flavours from sweet caramel to beef stock with toasty notes. The texture tends to be soft and creamy with lacy blue veining.

Tymsboro
This cheese has a bright acidity when young, with savoury, meaty, sherry-like, mineral, and peppery flavours developing with age. Tymsboro is amongst our saltier cheeses, but it has other powerful flavours in spades.
