When former MasterChef winner Simon Wood announced his new venture last year as the "UK's first" fine dining restaurant dedicated entirely to CHEESE it certainly got people talking. For the cheese and wine bores among us, Homage was possibly the most exciting new launch of the year.
But some strange folk (presumably vegans, those with dairy intolerances and pregnant people) did not sound all that keen. As someone falling squarely in the obsessed with cheese camp, though, it was most definitely music to my ears.
What could possibly be better than a whole night feasting on rare, unpasteurised, ewe's, cow's, goat's and mould-veined dairy products? Well, a night where every course of artisan cheese is perfectly matched with some of the world's finest wines, of course.
