Our story

A small shop with a proper cave underneath.

We opened on Paddington Street in 2017 with one idea — that London ought to have more counters where someone actually knows the cheese they're selling. Forty British farmhouse cheeses, kept in a temperature-controlled cave below the shop, turned and graded every week. Six Continental classics on rotation. Crusty bread from the baker round the back, baked the morning we sell it.

We're an AOC-certified cheesemonger, which means we've sat the exams and we know our Stiltons from our Stichetons. More usefully, it means we'll cut a small piece for you to try before you buy a whole wedge. Always have done.

Inside the shop
From the regulars
The only cheesemonger in London who'll happily spend twenty minutes finding the right Cheddar for a single dinner party. We've been coming for years and it's never once felt like a transaction.
