Borough Market - Get on board

 

Join us next week for an Evening of Cheese   For anyone who understands the heavenly appeal of a heaving Christmas cheeseboard, the annual Borough Market Evening of Cheese is an unmissable event. Next Wednesday 13th December from 6-9pm, the Market will be filled with an incredible range of British and European cheeses, sold by our amazing community of cheesemongers. Several are producers themselves, so you’re buying the cheese directly from source. Others have built the closest of ties with the small-scale cheesemakers who supply them. As a result, the level of their knowledge is exceptionally high, as is their enthusiasm for sharing it. They’ll offer their suggestions and answer your questions as well as filling your bags. Drinks traders will also be on hand to keep you refreshed.   Odd couples Gurdeep Loyal scours the stalls to find some bold, adventurous pairings for a Borough Market Christmas cheeseboard, from Bermondsey Hard Pressed with hot banana chutney to vacherin mont d’Or with a pickle brine whisky sour.
