Had dinner a the Montague Arms in Beaulieu where they had what I guess must be the cheese equivalent of a Sommelier (Fromagier?). He came over with a complete cheese trolley for us to choose from and knew his cheeses well enough to be able to descibe them all and recommend stuff based on other cheeses we liked

Don't have anything useful to add to this thread, other than a funny story.
We were in Le Gavroche and felt like complete cheese noobs when the waitress/cheese sommelier came round and asked what cheeses we wanted. But we felt much more at ease when the adjacent table asked for Dairylea

This looks so amazingly brilliant and delicious that I'm tempted to drive to France at the weekend and find somewhere that does this so I can stuff my face.Edited by marshalla on Monday 27th April 10:37

First time I ate at Bovey Castle I asked the waiter if there was a limit to the number of cheeses you could select from the "Chariot" (115 different ones if I recall) he said no, excellent I said http://www.boveycastle.com/Dining-and-bars.html

Second time I went - limit of 2 per type (hard, soft, blue etc) had been imposed
