The Old Cheese Shop — Restaurant in England

I contacted the Old Cheese Shop recently, as I was looking for a totally Cornish cheese ‘cake’ for my daughter’s wedding. Katie, who I dealt with, could not have been more helpful, friendly or informative! She provided me with all the information I needed to make my choice of cheeses and what sizes I would need, which made the process so much easier - especially as I am in East Sussex, but the wedding was in Cornwall! On the wedding day, Katie came to the venue to set up the cheeses and they looked amazing! More importantly, they all tasted amazing too and were all very much appreciated by our guests! Katie also provided Cornish crackers and chutneys to go with the cheese, which again, were delicious! If you are looking for an alternative wedding cake, or just want exceptional cheese, your first stop should be The Old Cheese Shop - I can’t recommend them...

I have been here twice now and each time the barista (different each time) has been quite moody! The most recent time I went was on Monday the 3RD of June 2024 around 2:30PM. I politely asked what syrups were available and she didn't say anything, instead she just stepped to the side and pointed at them on the wall! The text is rotated 90° on the bottle, so it was hard to read. I don't have Dyslexia and I'm not visually impaired but what if I was?! My partner was with me and he has Dyslexia. She was moody the whole time and the coffee was only okay, she definitely put too much milk into it. I used to work in retail and I know that it can be hard, but even on bad days this is no way to treat nice and polite customers. I have never complained about a place online before, but I think that the boss needs to have a chat...

Went there for coffee early one morning this week and sat in. Got two oat lattes which were very milky/huge and MOLTEN hot, like volcanic temperature level. Couldn’t really tell how nice the coffee was once it cooled down (literally like 10 mins later) because it was so milky. The fridge display cabinet at the front was making crazy amounts of mechanical/vibrational noise. Must drive the poor barista insane stood next to it all day. Felt like we were sat in the back of an old van from a sound perspective. Wanted to love this cafe as it’s a nice walk from our house but it wasn’t a very peaceful experience. Coffee is better at the Bread & Butter deli...
