Would highly recommend the Bishops Cave. They have a great choice of cheeses and the Pate was also very good. The food is nicely presented and they were happy to provide more crackers when we ran out. They have a great selection of wines to choose from and they are always happy to give advice on both the cheeses and wine if you need it.
