The Cheese Block reviews
Amazing selection of cheese, plus delicatessen and tons of condiments. They also do fantastic ciabatta sandwiches - perfect to grab and go for lunch - and also a vegetarian roti which is delicious. I agree with the comments about the bad service. However, the punters keep on coming, so that shows the cheese must be good! (And yes, the whole area is overrun with smug marrieds with kids called Ophelia and Hamish but what can you do, eh? I wouldn't agree that Budgens has many delights for you and Peckham's a bit short on quality cheeses.)
by LorraineHoxton (6 reviews), 14 Dec 2007Their range of cheese was astounding. However, I rated it as average purely due to the service. I have never met two more miserable people in my life. Such a shame, as this place could be amazing if only they knew how to smile.
by Miss Rennie (2 reviews), 24 Apr 2007Brilliant shop with a good selection of French and English cheeses. The French ones are reasonably priced and usually ready to eat. Definitely worth a visit.
by nutfield, 09 Feb 2007God, this is an infuriating place. Very expensive cheeses and off-hand or grumpy service.
As if that weren't bad enough, the other customers are all so smug. You just know they spend their summers stuffing their faces in France and Italy. Awful children.
Go to Budgens instead.
Not just a huge selection of cheeses, but, just as important, they are well kept. They might not have the airlock cheese room that they do at La Fromagerie, but their epoisses is at least as good and doesn't have flies crawling all over it. Best selection of cheeses south of the river.
