About this Event
A love affair with French cheese!
Forget the flowers - true love is all about the fromage!
Join us for a decadent celebration of all things sensuous, creamy, gooey, and utterly luxuriously unctuous…
We’re diving deep into those French Connections - eight superb cheeses, some are from France, others reflect the delicious influence of this most cheesy nation.
Expect some triple-creams, some pungent ones, softies and aromatic blues. It’s rich, romantic, and gloriously unpretentious. BUT can you spot the true blue Frenchies and those cunningly gorgeous imposters?
Grab your tickets now—bring a date, bring a mate, but definitely bring your appetite!
