The Cheeseboard

We ordered a cheese wheel wedding cake from here this summer at it was great!
It was very straight forward to order which I did over the phone. We selected on of their sample cakes from the website and they were happy to add an extra wheel so it would feed more people. They even arranged for us to collect it from a neighbouring business as we wanted to get it at a time when they were closed.
The cheese was delicious and we were pleased to end up with leftovers!

Gubbeen? Pecorino Dulce? The one Welsh cheese whose name I can neither pronounce nor spell? The Cheeseboard is where it’s at, cheese-​wise. Not only does it boast a stellar, rotating cheese selection, CB also sells bang-​up breads (sourdough, ya’ll!), pastries, dairy products, olive oil, and, recently, locally brewed beers. Real Ale fans rejoice!
This cheese shop is a local treasure, and I’m very fortunate to live in its vicinity.
Note: the shop shuts at 1pm on Thursdays!

Absolutely outstanding.
Very knowledgeable staff, and with the selection of additional deli bits and bobs (Breads, pickles etc.) it really does negate having to go all the way into Borough Market, plus its cheaper and open all week. Win Win!

This shop is amazing. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and are not hesitant in giving out tastings! It is in a little gourmet foodie area of Greenwich right near a fantastic butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer. I used to always go into the Borough Markes for cheese but I am pleased to have this place right near by! They also sell a variety of other deli produce including artisan breads an preserves. Make sure you pop in when preparing for your next dinner party!

I really don’t want to write this review. In fact, I’m banking on this little treasure being so off the beaten track that none of you will find it and then I can keep all the cheese a secret and eat it all.
It’s amazing in here.
It’s in my favourite part of Greenwich, just down the road from my favourite pub, and right by my absolute dream house. This is fancypants local Greenwich and it’s stunning. Nestled in a little street of indy foodie shops is The Cheeseboard. There probably isn’t a more brilliantly middle-​class shop in town. That’s a good thing by the way, if you’re going to live in Greenwich, you do have to embrace the impending middle class-​ness.
There’s a huge range of cheeses here (as you’d expect really) but even stuff I wouldn’t usually go for looks yummy in here. I’m not a fan of the blues — they’re too strong for me and well, they actually do look mouldy. But I want to try them in here. I actually want to try everything.
I took some friends here at the weekend and they weren’t planning on spending. Of course they did. I’m pretty certain half of their goodies would have been munched on their journey home.
It’s not just cheese here, they do jams and jellies and yummy organic things. But you do come here for the cheese. You’ll just end up buying other things as well. The ladies who work here are friendly and they know their stuff too. It’s everything a local cheese shop should be.
Now if you could all pretend you’ve forgotten this review, it’ll stay a secret, just the way it should.

The Cheeseboard is a small shop packed to the brim with various cheeses. I’ve never had a bad experience there and the counter staff are happy to make suggestions and give you a taste if you describe the type of cheese you’re looking for. Every once in awhile there’s something I’m looking for that I can’t find, but not every shop can carry every cheese in the world and they usually find me a close substitute.
They also sell bread (though they don’t slice it or otherwise we would buy our bread there more often), crackers and various types of sauces and spreads.
It’s definitely the place to go when deciding what you want on your cheese plate.

A characterful shop to pick up some cheese from before heading to the park for a picnic. My only complaint would be with the way they serve the cheese. You ask for an amount and they say .‘this much?’ whilst vaguely waving a knife over the cheese. You presume that’s going to be roughly the amount you asked for, but generally it’s considerably more, so it can be expensive unless you feel confident asking them to take some off the cut you are offered if it’s more than you want to pay.

The Cheeseboard is without doubt my favourite cheese shop in London. Small and friendly, with a wide selection of both cheese and bread, it has a regular and faithful, local clientele who pile into the shop predominately at the weekends, when the queues go right outside the door.
The staff who work there are all extremely helpful and enthusiastic. I have been in there hundreds of times and I am always amazed at how friendly everybody is. They have also recently started up a ‘Cheese Club’ membership where members receive a seasonal selection of farmhouse cheeses either monthly or bi-​monthly.
We are massive fans of the goat’s milk gouda and Villarejo manchego, as well as the bagels that Mike, the owner, picks up from the Bagel Shop on Brick Lane each morning.

There are few places outside of France where you will find the selection and quality of cheese that you can here. If you are a cheese addict, like me, this type of place is an absolute magnet. They have a wide range of English and continental cheeses, all are well kept and presented.
Prices aren’t cheap, but you didn’t expect that, did you?
Just alongside this shop are other shops of similar quality for greengrocery, bakery and fish.
