CHEESE MENU

Please choose 3 from our selection below.

ALDERWOOD

A semi-soft washed rind cheese made from unpasteurised milk from a single herd of cows. It develops a mottled orange/brown coloured rind, derived from the ripening mould and the natural flora of the Dorset area.

ELMHIRST BABY

This triple cream cheese from Devon is mould ripened similar to “Vignotte”. It has a surprisingly ripe texture and a delicate flavour when young, becoming more full bodied as it matures.

DUCKETT’S CAERPHILLY

This Somerset Caerphilly has a moist, open texture and fresh taste when young, becoming more supple and richer as it matures.

BARKHAM BLUE

A soft blue veined cheese from Berkshire, it has strong creamy taste and a smooth, moist texture. It is firm to slice, melts in your mouth and becomes spreadable with age

WHITELAKE GOATS CHEESE

Wonderful at any stage of its development. Smooth, soft and white rinded it has a subtle flavour hinting of almonds and white wine when young which evolves into superb depth of character as it matures

TEIFI-MATURE

The cheese is similar to Gouda and has a deep sunshine-yellow interior. There are several varieties or Teifi depending on the period of maturation when the cheese is young it has a fruity flavour, when aged it becomes hard and almost flaky
