There's something about a conveyor belt that just makes dining so much more fun. I saw this place on social media so I was thrilled when we stopped in as there were two seats calling our name. There's no shortage of cheese options and they give you a menu to help explain what is on each plate (this is based on a number system). They also have a menu you can order from so I had to choose a grilled cheese because if you're ever going to have a great grilled cheese it'll be from a cheese spot. You're charged based on plate color and could easily get ahead of yourself. There was just two of us so it was easy to share, but there is a booth for groups of 4, only downside to this is people on the outside couldn't grab from the conveyor belt and that's half the fun. Here's to petitioning that the world brings forth more conveyor based restaurants!
1. Who doesn't love cheese 2. Who doesn't love cheese expertly paired and then on a rotating bar with a list so that I know what I'm picking up! This is a genius idea. Located inside 7 dials market which is also just really cool. Try making a reservation because the bar gets busy. We did walk up but it was like early lunch late breakfast time. You pay by the plate color for what's on the rotating bar and then they do offer some sandwiches too that come from the menu. We left with full tummies and happy hearts! We ordered the grilled cheese off the menu and it was great!
Such a fun, unexpected find on a solo trip to London! Pick & Cheese sits inside Seven Dials Market, which is set up more like an open food hall than a traditional restaurant, so at first I wasn't sure what to expect. But the concept is fun and modern! You sit at the counter and watch a conveyor belt roll by with little trays of cheese, each paired with its own chutney, cracker, or garnish, and you just grab whatever catches your eye as it passes. It felt like cheese sushi, honestly, and I loved that. The variety was great, from mild and creamy to bold and funky, and it made trying new things low-stakes and playful rather than committing to one big cheese board. It's also a great setup for solo dining since there's no pressure to share, negotiate what to order, or sit at a table by yourself. You just pick what looks good to you. The space itself has a lively, casual energy since it's part of the wider market, so there was people-watching built in too. A perfect stop for cheese lovers or anyone looking for something a little different in London.
While in London and exploring Covent Gardens and Seven Dial's Market, we stumbled upon Pick a Cheese. Although we didn't have a reservation we were seated right away. The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining how it worked. For those of you who love the Sushi restaurants that offer items on a conveyer belt, this is exactly what this is like but for cheese lovers. We watched the covered items travel down the conveyer belt, and matched the numbers on the menu with the numbers on the items. First up was Cenarth Brie. A Welsh cheese that was velvety with a mushroom flavor. Next up was the Spenwood, a nutty firm cheese like Pecorino from Berkshire and it was paired with Romesco sauce, truly a gift for the palate. Our third choice was the Truffled Baron Bigod, a cheese from Suffolk. Another cheese similar to Brie with a layer of Black Truffle and a soft British Cream Cheese. Lastly, we grabbed the Whipped Roasary Goats Cheese Doughnut. The goat cheese was from Wiltshire. The creamy goats cheese was whipped with cream and filled a tender doughnut. The doughnut was paired with Apricot and Vanilla Jam, the perfect end to our cheese journey. Pick a Cheese was a fun spot to sit, enjoy different local cheeses from the U.K. The atmosphere was cool, the eatery was spotlessly clean, unique and an awesome way to enjoy a cheese journey.
Loved this cheese bar in London. The bar was full but luckily because it was just me, they were able to get me a seat after about 10 minutes. Service was okay, I feel like once I was sat it took sometime for someone to get my drink order. You pick your food as it comes around the bar. I picked # 6 Cenarth Brie paired with the tomato & chili jam, # 22 Perl Las which is a Bleu Cheese paired with chocolate & hazelnut brownie, # 10 Beauvale which is a Gorgonzola Dolce inspired Paired with honeycomb & # 20 Achari Spiced Salami.
What a novelty and good at that. Before heading out to dinner, my husband and I were amused with the conveyor belt cheese plates.. This is a unique offering as I am used to seeing conveyor belt sushi. We shared a few plates and a bottle of sparkling wine. The plates are numbered and color coded for price. The hostess will give you a menu that describes what is in each plate. Crackers are also served and refilled. There's a variety of soft and hard cheese and also some chorizo and salami.
While in the neighborhood I was getting hungry and went to The Seven Dials Markets. I totally forgot this place was there, I was SO happy. Cheese in a conveyor belt?! Heaven. I was expecting to be crowded even for a weekday but it wasn't and could seat immediately. There are a lot of cheeses with pairings to try and the price varies. The Dazel Ash was my favorite. The stinky the better for me. Loved that there are the names of the servers and kitchen workers in the menu. I'm considering moving to London just for this place.
I have been wanting to try the cheese bar ever since I saw the videos on IG. The set up is same as kaitenzushi, with small plates parading before you, except that they are plates of delicious cheeses instead of riceballs. Brie, mozzarella, gouda, blues, soft-ripen goat, cheddar and more, all made in the UK, though they don't seem to have strong stinky stuff. There's an info sheet about the makers, types of milk and the condiments. It's amazing how each cheese comes with a different pairing, a lot of thoughts obviously went into this, it's not just plain jam from a jar. If you need a more substantial meal, there are grilled cheese sandwiches, and for dessert, goat cheese doughnuts, cheese cakes and even blue cheese ice cream. This is pure heaven for cheeselovers. I seriously hope this idea catches on, so I can go enjoy a few plates with a glass of wine whenever the mood hits, with some friends or even solo. I feel sad that I live a whole ocean apart.
Attention all cheese lovers! Do not miss this place is you are in the Covent Garden area. Nestled in the Seven Dials market, this place does cheese and charcuterie on a conveyor belt. Each cheese is served with a condiment that compliments the cheese. Perfectly proportioned sizes allowing you to try a variety of cheeses without getting full. We ordered the grilled cheese off the menu too and it was outstanding.
Super fun and tasty experience. Be prepared for bar style seating, with a convenient conveyer belt bringing a continuous parade of small plates of British cheese and charcuterie. Wait staff are attentive to keeping your cracker tray and drinks from reaching empty. A great dining experience!!
I love cheese and I love gimmicks, so this was perfect for me! I'm a bit sketched out with sushi boat restaurants, because raw fish and unknown time out, but that worry melts away with resilient cheese. We mostly stuck with the conveyor belt dishes, though I'd highly recommend the melted wheel of cheese too, very hearty and worth the premium. It was honestly all a blur, since we had so many cheese dishes, but every cheese I tried was delicious and mostly worked with their pairings. Only issue is that the crackers kept running out and weren't refilled quickly.
So much fun! I've never been to anything like this and loved it. Went on Wednesday, on the bottomless cheese night. Great to try so many wonderful choices. The Dazel Ash was my favorite.
Very busy spot, I'd recommend getting a reservation! The cheese options are great and I liked everything they chose to pair with each cheese. It's in the middle of the bush seven dials market so it's not super quiet but not too noisy either. Reasonable pricing for the variety and quality! I'd come back.

We made a resie for the day we arrived in London. Great idea!!! Service was fantastic... our server was very helpful.. This place is a cheese lovers paradise.. it's like the sushi go round, but Cheese with little pairings. It did get a little warm in there, as we read, but that didn't stop us from enjoying every bite.. bring a purse fan for more comfort. read more
Had a really cool experience here! It was recommended to me, and honestly, it lived up to the hype. The food was very good, although it is a little expensive. Just note that there is limited AC, so it can get warm. If you're able to get seated in one of the booths, do it. It is sooo worth it and definitely adds to the experience. Also, make sure you get the donut while you're there! Overall, definitely worth checking out or kind of going out of your way for read more
As visiting tourists, we had seen this place on TikTok and wanted to give it a try. Overall, it was an alright experience. The cheese selection was wide and the pairings are nice. Definitely not cheap, but to be expected. My issues came in that there was no AC in the food hall, making it stuffy and the cheese smell terrible in the heat (I got nauseous), the water was equally nearly hot, and some items never came around on the belt the whole time we were there, like the cheesecake. Also, don't expect this to be your meal like we did. You cannot subsist on cheese for lunch. It's nice to experience once. I don't know if I'd return. read more

The most girl dinner of all girl dinners! I stopped by on a Wednesday for their bottomless cheese and had the time of my life. The rotating array of cheese is a dream! There are so many different options to select from with options from sweet to savory! They also have some nice wine options! I opted for a port which went nicely with the cheese. My absolute favorite was the COOLEA- Classic Gouda-style with a great brittle texture. The crackers are free that you can eat the cheeses with and they will bring you more upon request. The time slot for unlimited cheese it a bit over an hour. Safe to say by the end of the time slot I was feeling a bit miserable from so much cheese but it was all so good I couldn't stop! Be sure to stop by this spot and make a reservation in advance as Wednesday book up quick! 3.95-5.45£ is the price per plate if you go on a day other than Wednesday. read more

Saw an instagram post on it and was able to make a reservation for a late lunch. Reservations are a must. Seated right away and had multiple servers. All were phenomenal. Decent selection of cheese. The grilled cheese was the star of the show. read more
I am pretty sure this is the coolest place I've ever eaten! A rotating conveyor of cheese, what more could you want! I went by myself as I was on a solo trip, I felt totally comfortable! They serve all British cheese and had some amazing options, and I love that all of the cheeses were accompanied with a garnish that paired perfectly with the cheese. It was also just a really fun experience and I will 100% be going back in my next trip! If you would like to check this place out it is in Seven Dials Market, and you definitely need to make a reservation to sit at the bar. When you make a reservation you pay a $10 deposit, but that gets used towards your final bill! read more
Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. The British cuisine you have to try the most is actually their cheese. Each domestic cheese was of excellent quality and curated with a perfect pairing. My favorite was the smoked gubbeen as it had a mild flavor, enriched by the smoke. The smoke also gave it a firm bite and the denseness made the flavor more bold. The rhubarb & ginger jam was an excellent pairing as the piquant sourness with a bit of sweetness went perfect with the mild cheese. The most surprising was the stilton, as it made me change my mind about blue cheese. Normally, I am not a fan of blue cheese's strong flavor and while the stilton still had those characteristics, it was magically mitigated by being paired with kimchi. It worked really well where the strong flavors of kimchi covered the sharpness of blue cheese, making the creamy rich flavors of the cheese flare out. Their non cheese items were amazing as well with the cured ham being meaty with a gentle salty flavor and the pickled vegetables being great as a palate cleanser. Their desserts were amazing with the creaminess of goat cheese being an excellent fit as doughnut filling. It had a perfect level of sweetness that was balanced out by the zesty flavors of lemon. Service - 4/5. Professional and courteous service. The cheeses are served on a conveyor belt that you can grab as you wish with most of the staff behind the counter, but service was still readily available and prompt. Value - 5/5. Prices vary by plate between £3.95-5.45 for the savory plates and £6.25 for desserts. Each come with a thick slice of cheese and a side that pairs with it. The affordable price range allows you to easily try many different cheeses or get seconds on your favorites without hurting your wallet. An absolute must-try experience for British cuisine! Parking - N/A read more
The best way to describe The Cheese Bar is it is a rotating sushi restaurant, but for cheese! How much fun is that! Make sure you make reservations in advance because it is a tiny little place in a food hall. I loved sitting right at the bar, however the stools were incredibly uncomfortable. They do limit the time that you can sit there, but with the stools the way they are, you will likely not be able to last that long! That being said, the food and the experience make up for it. There are cheeses for every type of palate and while you pay a little for the novelty it felt like it was priced about right. I also ordered the grilled cheese sandwich which was amazing. What a lovely experience - wish it was in the states! read more
first time in London and first time at the pic and cheese. I must stop for anyone coming to London. Looking for a fun experience. All the cheeses were paired perfectly. The wine list was fantastic. Such a fun place on our journey. read more

Seven dials market has a collection of some of the most fun places to grab a bite in central London; pick & cheese is most definitely one of those. The menu is primarily a collection of small plates of cheese from across the UK paired with some addition the chief feels would go well with the flavour (e.g. a goat cheese and Turkish delight). There are also a few non-cheese small plates and a few larger plates of grilled cheeses. Overall the menu is a celebration of British cheeses, and its small plate nature lets you taste so many wonderful ones! However, the nature of its small plates is my one point of concern with it; the plates are all placed on a Conveyer belt, with each plate's colour being attached to the price. Now the food is so good and passes by you so much that you want to keep grabbing but you must consider what you grab as plates can get fairly pricey and without ordering off a menu, it is easy to make the meal very quickly get up there in price. This is a meal that can be nice and affordable you just have to make sure you're thinking about what you grab. However, the food is worth the price in my opinion (especially the truffle brie that is a must-get!) and the restaurant is a must-do for any cheese lovers or any casual cheese enjoyers! As an additional note, this is one where you will probably need a reservation, and the reservations require a 10 pound deposit towards the meal, but again it's worth it! read more

I'm so happy I discovered this place on Instagram just in time for my trip to London! Pick & Cheese made all of my cheese fantasies come true. I was immediately taken by the fun, shared atmosphere with all the different food and beverage vendors surrounding it within Seven Dials Market. I love cheeses of all varieties, so I basically went in there blind and just ate everything. I will say everything is very organized on the menu as far as flavor profile, origin, and milk source goes. The menu is numbered and each item on the conveyor belt has the corresponding number to make sure you're getting the right thing. This was quite handy for my friend who cannot consume cow's milk, but she was able to eat the goat and sheep milk varieties of cheese. Even if there wasn't something on the belt, the staff was very quick to replenish once it was requested. I would highly recommend this spot as a fun place to enjoy a cheese smorgasbord. read more
Tucked away in the 7 dials market is this one of a kind cheese restaurant. This could be the world's first revolving cheese bar as I've never seen anything like this. First, don't let the small portions of cheese deceive you because you can feel full after 4 - 5 plates. The price per plate ranges from £4 to £6.25 and they also have grilled cheese sandwiches. It was so fun, tasting various cheeses paired with jams, Fudge, pickled veg and breads which really brings out the flavors of the cheese. The staff were super friendly. Especially Mata (sorry if I spelled your name wrong and David the owner of this innovative idea of bringing British cheese to the dining arena. I really hope they are successful. It would nice if they would pair the cheeses with other sides such as grapes, figs, apple, honey and dried fruits such as mango, apricots and even raisins. Also adding port to the menu because it compliments cheese very well. Came here 2 evenings in a row because it's that good. Definitely, give this place a try, especially if you're a cheese lover. read more

So glad I came during my visit to London! Such a great concept! Who doesn't love cheese?! And how cool is it to have it on a conveyer belt! I mean sushi had it first but.... honestly this is great! loved the different British cheeses and the aesthetics is so on point! It's fun and has such a great time trying all the cheeses. Service is a little slow but I'm sure through time it will improve. Came a little after it opened and there wasn't a line, but after we got seated it was pretty busy. So maybe come right when it opens! read more
Excuse me?!!! Imagine my surprise when I saw the ad for this place on Instagram. So we had to go! Picture this. You know those sushi conveyor belt restaurants? Ok but instead of sushi, A WIDE VARIETY OF CHEESE. Yes. Cheese. I'm already drooling just thinking about it again. The place is inside a "market warehouse" so it's a like a big food hall. We were greeted right away and was sat promptly on a Tuesday afternoon. I booked a reservation just in case. Tip: The reservation will ask for a £20 deposit which will be deducted from your final bill. I think that was pretty nifty. So just like a regular sushi conveyor belt resto, the cheese plates are color coded and have their own corresponding prices. They also serve wine because duh why wouldn't they. A great place to meet up with friends for light snacking (lol light?) and drinks. Their must try is the cheddar and onions grilled cheese toastie, er..sandwich I mean. Yes, you read it right, onions. Just try it. It is so good!!!! read more

Well, I'm a sucker for cheese anyway, but this place was great. Merry-go-round cheese, what more could you ask for. You simply take the plate that you want as it goes by. Located inside the Seven Dials market (so you can't see a sign from the street) it has seats around the conveyor belt, as well as tables. All of the cheese is local British, and cut fresh as the night goes along. They have all styles of cheese- cheddar, Stilton, truffle, soft cheese, crumbly, and even plates of charcuterie to boot. A friendly staff and a decent selection of affordable wines makes the whole experience very nice. Well worth a trip. read more

You need to run, not walk, to Pick & Cheese! It was so good! I read about this place online, and I knew I needed to check it out. I went for lunch. I had skipped breakfast, so I was ready to eat. Essentially, this is a cheese conveyor belt. Think a sushi belt restaurant, but this is cheese. SOOOO GOOD! I had 5-6 different types of cheeses. It was so hard to choose. My favorite was the goat cheese paired with the rosemary shortbread. To die for. I will be returning to this place the next time I'm back in London. So much cheese, so little time! read more
