Brilliant, brilliant, potentially lethally expensive place - top quality cheeses of all varieties including a large and very clearly labelled vegetarian selection. At an average of £2.00 per 100g this level of quality doesn't come cheap but we all know you get what you pay for.
Staff are knowledgeable and very helpful, so if you tell them what sort of cheese you like they'll suggest a few things for you to try. I'd love to return to this shop with £20 devoted solely to the purchase of a mighty fine cheeseboard to share with friends, but I might have to make do with the odd chunk of this and that instead. -

I am updating this review after a most disappointing visit today. I go in here to take a long leisurely amble around the cheese selection, tasting and discussing everything with the experts behind the counter. However, today there was an extremely grumpy man behind the counter who when I asked him to recommend a good strong cheddar, simply said: "There are loads of Cheddars at the end, take your pick". Well, the reason I asked was to get an expert recommendation, not to simply pick one out of several by chance. There was no one else in the shop, so it wasn't as if they were over run with other customers.
I will probably try this place again, but it has been a little soured for me! -

Yes I had a similar experience to Emma's with the grumpy man. I asked for a cheese called l'etivaz. He had never heard of it but said he would order it. Next week I went in and he could not remember me or the cheese or the order. Shame that he has no competition. I always look in to see if he is there. If he is I cross the road to the Coop!

Nice posh cheese shop. Great selection of fromage at the prices you would expect. I also picked up one of their giant ciabatta loaves which look stunning but was disappointedly quite dry. They sell proper samosas too which are delicious.

As you would expect, this is the place to go for cheese as well as so much more.
If you get there early enough in the day you can pick up delicious stuffed roti, samosas and ciabatta but the demand is high and they quickly sell out.
The cheese selection unsurprisingly steals all the thunder. Other than a trip to France, I doubt that you will be able to find such choice and quality.
To complete the list and tick all the boxes, The Cheese Block boasts fantastic meringues, baklava, fresh bread and an epicurean selection of condiments and confectionery.
Should every shop not be like this?
