Neal's Yard Dairy (Covent Garden Shop)

"This isn't a restaurant but a fab place to go to pick up some cheese and biscuits for a potential summer picnic or to take home with you (they may ship direct!) . If you've never been to a proper cheese monger's shop you must go in to experience it. You can ask for samples of any cheese you want to try. YUMMY :) Would highly recommend Stilton or Applewood if they have it at the time as these are my two favourite cheeses. Stilton is especially a great British cheese as they always have it on the Christmas table to have after meals here. Do get some of the nice crackers they sell there as well. There's multiple shop locations including Borough Market which is another foodies paradise in London. "

"Neals Yard Dairy find, select, mature and sell cheese; specialising and championing British and Irish territorials. "Our involvement with cheese goes far beyond just selling it. The displays you see in our shops and on this website are part of a long and involved process – one that demands of us a deep understanding of the art and science of cheesemaking." Neals Yard Dairy If you are staying in self-catering accommodation, I strongly suggest you have a cheeseboard night, pick up some British cheese and have a full tasting session with some wine and other nibbles. You won't regret it."
