    Walking between charity shops in this fine city, I spotted a small arcade that I'd not seen before…read more My reward for being super-aware this time round was to find that there's an independent cheese shop nestled in there. They've actually got Snowdonia Cheese Company Amber Mist! Whenever SCC cheeses are sold there's usually plenty of their Black Bomber, but I find Amber Mist is quite hard to get hold of. It's the best Whisky cheese, in my opinion. (And that's including anything available at Farmer's Markets in Scotland...) So I'm having a truckle of that, and I'm committed to being disciplined enough to save it for Christmas. What else? After I've had short rave, the owner can see that I'm quite keen on the yellow stuff, so she offers me a sample of Harlech. Just when you think you've tasted and seen all the cheese in Europe, there are still surprises left. This is cheddar with horseradish and parsley. Cheese AND condiment. My two favourite foods in one make me buy a few hundred grams of this. It's going to be perfect on top of a veggie pattie to make a piquant burger. Next up is Worcerster Hop. I've had Hereford Hop before, so I'll trust that Elgar County's version is similarly tasty. Always a good match for a US India Pale Ale. The last two didn't last long, though the Amber Mist is sat in a scared space in the fridge. I'll be back at Cheese to Please to stock up for Christmas. Independent with a charming owner, here you'll find tasty delights beyond the usual supermarket fare. Discover a world beyond Wensleydale and Cranberry this Christmas. (Though they had that in too when I went.)

    I've already got a fine thick slice of Compte from a stall at the market, and I'm glad I didn't go…read moreoverboard buying cheese there, because rearing its lovely head as I exit The Drinks Room, is Cheeses in Warwick. Hereford Hop and Lincolnshire Poacher are two reasons to embrace British cheese and there's the option to do that here. I buy a variety of Red Leicester ,which like Sparkenhoe is a proper example, but this one is a more creamy and less earthy tasting. (Forgive me, I've forgotten the name; I'll go back soon to make a note of it!) French cheeses are well represented, and hello, they have Munster. This is a love or hate cheese which I dare you to try. Some say it tastes like strong and gamey meat. Others say it tastes like the smell of dog dirt. Moving on... I don't know about you, but if I'm buying quality cheese that costs around £3 for 100 grams, then I want the full flavour of the cheese, so I eat it as is. For those that want an accompaniment in the form of a posh cracker or chunky chutney then Cheeses In Warwick will do you proud. Varieties of crackers, (chive, fennel and chilli), all sit on the counter with their neighbours chilli jam, mango chutney and onion relish, who have quaintly home-made labels on them. The staff are happy to help and will offer you a taste before you buy, or in my case a little chunk to keep me going until I got home!

    I found out about The Cheese Plate when we had dinner at Frederick's in Islington. We ordered a…read morecheese plate for dessert, and the cheese was fantastic. So we asked them where they got their cheese, and they told us about The Cheese Plate. We live in Enfield, so we're fairly close-ish to Buntingford. Not really close, but it's about a half an hour drive. Given it can take us as long to get into London by train and tube, it's not that ridiculous for us to drive that far for cheese. Really. And who knew there'd be such an amazing cheese shop in a such a small town in the UK. You walk in and you can smell the cheese. That's how awesome it is. Plus it wasn't incredibly busy when we were there, so we got some excellent service. The woman waiting on us gave us some excellent cheeses to try. We ended up with a brie, a calvados soaked camembert, a wine soaked blue and some great cheddar. We also picked up some biscuits (which turned out to be some of the best ones I've had in the UK). We even dropped the name of Frederick's where we tried the cheese. The owner was ecstatic. Apparently some people from the restaurant had been in on Wednesday and asked if anyone had come in after having cheese in the restaurant. Apparently the answer was no. Until today. Awesome. It's not conveniently close. But it's not too far for us. It's a great shop with some great cheeses. I think they even had some jars of chutney as well. And some wine. You can also go in for some cheese or raclette to eat in. The website says that they do cheese tasting nights as well that we may have to try out some time.

    Having recently moved from Northamptonshire to Hertfordshire, I needed to find a new "fromagery"…read moreand used the same tool most of us use these days - the internet (thanks again to Sir Tim Berners-Lee). Although The Cheese Plate is over 20 miles from my new home I thought that I should at least try it for our Christmas cheese plate, particularly as it was the closest specialist cheese retailer listed. Am I glad that I made the effort! Opening the shop door, the heady smells of a variety of cheeses didn't assail but welcomed you to browse - and what a selection to browse. I went with some part-formed ideas of what I wanted and came away with a selection that was both related to my first ideas but also quite different from them. A wide selection of biscuits, pickles and desert wines extends the shopping experience (this from a die-hard anti-shopper too). Over the 20 minutes or so I was in the shop, it was a joy to watch regular customers stocking up and owner Toby helping a man on his task of creating a perfect fondue amongst others. My personal "cheese angel" Tara seemed to almost know just the types and flavours that I was after and it was all done with a delightful smile. I am sure this year's family cheeseboard will be recognised as "better than last year". If Buntingford is too far away, don't despair - you can also order over the phone although I have no idea of that side of their business. In these days of doom for small retailers, I truly hope this shop survives - it deserves too! Have a look for yourself - it is worth it.
