Customer Review Summary
Cheese is what reviewers return to most, from the all you can eat cheese option and the cheese boards to a black bomber and blue cheese that one reviewer says even a 10 year old enjoyed. Close behind are the toasties, where one lunch guest let a staff member choose the cheese and chutney, and the gastro boards. A rose matched with the cheese selection also earns praise. Drinks come next, with cocktails and wines by the glass so friends don't all have to order the same thing, and several describe staff who suggest drinks without assuming any wine knowledge. Reviewers call the atmosphere cosy with a nice buzz, and the live music nights and the courtyard get a mention too. The team is described as friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, and one reviewer held a sister's baby shower here. No complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer notes that the founders' family has been in the cheese business since the 1930s, and another has already booked a table to return.
