CHEESE MENU

Brin d'amour - a goat's milk cheese from the island of Corsica. Rolled in rosemery, juniper and chilli, this cheese is both rustic and elegant

Hartington Stilton - the king of British cheeses from the local cheese makers of Derbyshire

Tomme de Savoie - A semi hard cheese from Savoie in the French Alps. It has a slightly salty but mild flavour and due to the long maturing process one can often detect a subtle flavour of grass!

Reblochon - this is a semi soft and surface ripened cheese from the Savoy mountain region of France. It has a yeasty aroma and a sweet taste of walnuts.

Coulommiers-made in lle de France from unpasteurised milk, similar to Brie De Meaux but can be stronger.

Snowdonia Mature black wax Cheddar - rich mature cheddar sealed in wax to lock in the flavour.

All cheeses are served with walnut and raisin bread, apples celery and grapes.
