Just setting foot in a room full of counters bearing some of the finest examples of artisan cheeses the world has to offer should be enough to excite the taste buds of any cheese lover. From massive 40kg wheels of floral, nutty Alpine cheeses such as Comte and Gruyere and robust 25kg truckles of clothbound unpasteurised Cheddars to oozing wheels of sweet, silky Gorgonzola Dolce, discs of golden centred, white coated Bries and an assortment of leaf wrapped, charcoal rubbed or penicillin covered goats cheeses, the sight could not be more enticing. And that's just the visual side! Imagine the aroma of over 100 different cheeses...
Undoubtedly you will have heard of many of the cheeses, but there will likely be several which are new to you. Come in and discover them and let the knowledgeable staff tell you a bit about them. You can taste the cheeses and if one is not quite to your liking, we can recommend something that may be more to your taste.
And as if the cheese were not enough, add to the scene shelves and cupboards laden with crunchy crackers, salted oaty biscuits, giant jars of possibly the best Piccalilli and chutneys bursting with seasonal fruits. All of these mouth-watering goods are presented among the extensive range of cheese accessories, everything you could possibly want to store, display, cut and serve your cheese.
A glowing recommendation from none other than Winston Churchill - "A gentleman buys his hats at Locks, his shoes at Lobbs, his shirts at Harvey and Hudson, his suits at Huntsman and his cheese at Paxton & Whitfield".

As the first shop opened in Sclater Street that year, today the 4thgeneration is still running the business to the original receipe he first sought.Throughout the 151 years of its existence, the evolution of fast food chains has seen such a diversion in peoples eating habits that pie and mash has almost become one of the only traditional East End foods still left in existence. As demographics change almost daily, those who have now moved away from their East End roots can still find comfort in the fact that Cookes’ Pie and Mash Shop in Hoxton is still around.

Paternoster Chop House is a D&D London restaurant located in the heart of the City of London, right next to St Paul’s Cathedral, and is the perfect place to experience modern British food using the best of British produce.

The E5 Bakehouse is an East London artisan bakery and coffee shop. Passionate about sourdough and the lost traditions of the baking ancestors. Using organic, locally-sourced ingredients, they serve delicious, daily-baked breads, fresh lunches, homemade cakes and coffee. Their head bakers also share their knowledge and expertise in a weekly bread course.
With the finest flour at the essence of the e5 ideology they’ve put a lot of thought into where it come from. All the flour used is organic and they increasingly source directly from UK farms who are growing diverse and ancient varieties of wheat. These are not only more flavoursome but of course sustainable. Suppliers such as Cann Mill, Maple Farm and Gilchester’s Organics have provided them with the first rate UK organic flour which continues to feed the ongoing evolution of the Bakehouse and fuel their mission to use exclusively UK wheat.
In 2015 e5 Bakehouse took over a 3rd railway arch in order to house the stone mill and mill on site at the bakery using UK grains, enabling them to have the freshest and more nutrient rich flour for their loaves. Stone mill is an inherently cold extraction process that causes minimal damage to the vitamins and essential oils present in the grains.
With an equal commitment to locally sourced produce for the cafe, all of the vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy used are organic, seasonal and supplied by producers know and trusted.
Committed to a sustainable approach to business, they consider every element of their process to make sure their produce is as good for the environment as it is for your stomach!
