A restaurant dedicated to cheese is surely something that, for most people, only exists in their fantasies. There are a handful of cheese bars in London and other cities across the UK, alongside cheesemongers and delis offering sharing platters and tasting boards, but very few are offering a three-course meal centred around cheese.
Fortunately, Bristol can now say it is home to its first cheese-inspired restaurant - a fitting location in a region known for its incredible dairy produce. New restaurant owner Joshua Doyle is the brainchild behind this innovative concept in Redland, offering a fine dining experience centred around some of Britain's best cheeses.
The Cheese Platter opened on Friday, November 18 in The Vincent on Redland Hill, a 19th-century building which was once home to a maternity hospital and now houses luxury retirement accommodation. The restaurant itself oozes sophistication, with diners gaining access by ringing a doorbell to enter a dining area that overlooks a chic, open kitchen, which made it quite relaxed.
