Had the cheese board and the meats. Very good with different flavours and textures. If possible I would like a beer on the pull but ended up with a can instead which was nice. All the different choices of cheese and other food items makes this place definitely worth a visit

Got my dad an Essen gift voucher for his birthday as he enjoys cheese so we went in this weekend just gone. He had the opportunity to discuss with the gent at the counter what cheeses are similar to what he likes and then have the occasional taster piece. My dad was like a child in a sweet shop, he bought several different types and was adamant that he'd be back! Thanks :)

Went to the fondue evening when i heard some poor soul had to cancel. I hope they aren't dead, but as yet, I don't know if they are or not. If they are, RIP cancellation person, but thanks for the cheese. Anyway, back to Essen General Store. What lovely folks, Ed is amazing at giving me wine to sniff, and Sam is spectacular at melting cheese and wine in a pot. They definitely know far more about funky foods than anyone else in the NG postcode, which is handy. As thats what they do, go talk to them about it. So, fondue. The gooeyness and cheesyness was nothing short of sublime. The juxtaposition of pickles and cheese was something I thought would taste weird, it didn't, it was like a vinegary cheesy mouthgasm. The carrots, now, I'm a huge fan of a crunchy orange vegetable, cold and crunchy, not hot and squishy, but hot cheese on carrots sounded like some sort of vegetable based torture method, however, wow, crunch and goo, get in my face hole. I had a beer to go along with the cheesefest, exceptional locally brewed table beer. Which isn't beer brewed from tables, it's actual beer, made from beer things. Made to drink at a table. Fantabulous. My carer had a glass of Gewurztraminer, lovely wine, she seems happy, which makes life far easier for all involved. There was sausage, and ham, and all the breads, all dipped in just the right amount of cheesy goodness. Cleaned the cheese pot. Smashed all the dippy things. Now sat in a food coma. All in all, a bloody fantastic result. Ps. If youre on the correct side if the globe. Go to Essen and eat cheese. If you die before you do. You've missed the 8th wonder of the world. That's all there is to say really. Pps. They're dog friendly, not as in, if your Mrs is a bit of a dog they'll be nice to her, as in, they let actual 4 legged dogs in with well behaved owners. Synopsis. I'd give them 6 or 7 stars if I could. But this isn't Dubai and I can't make up my own star ratings to suit my inflated ego.

Incredible cheese, wine and charcuterie. Highly recommend the ‘All the cheese’ platter and getting the team to recommend wine to go with it. We held a significant birthday party here and the team were incredibly accommodating and welcoming, including making sure that the two coeliacs in the group were well catered for. One of my absolute favourite independent shops/ restaurants in Beeston!

My Mrs loves this place and it’s easy to see why. The selection of goodies for sale is vast and always high quality. To dine in can be limiting and the big table could put some people off sharing their dining experience. However If you want a glass of wine and some nibbles or a filter coffee and a Welbeck Abbey pastry then you can’t go wrong.

On a recent trip back to Beeston, we were delighted to find this place and everything it had to offer on a sunless Sunday morning. Sam and his team we're helpful with choice selection and all of the individual characteristics of their produce leaving you with the reassurance that they'd put a lot of effort into researching and sourcing something a little different for their shop! They have a fantastic range of small production wines and nothing you'd find anywhere else on the high street let alone in Nottingham. It was a real pleasure to discover this place and such a change from everything else, very much looking forward to our next visit .

My friend and I went for some wine and cheese and it’ll be my new favourite place from now on. The service was absolutely wonderful and really informative, although there’s SO much to choose from, they didn’t make you feel silly for not knowing about the different varieties of wine and cheese. The prices were so reasonable for the quality of food and drink you get, and the atmosphere is friendly and not stuck up like other places that do the same products. I can’t wait to take my friends and family here in the future!

Visited with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and it was a really enjoyable visit. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I’m not a regular (or knowledgeable) wine drinker, but I felt very comfortable ordering and there was certainly no pressure to order a glass. The sandwiches available were really tasty - although as someone who doesn’t like sourdough, would love another option. Will definitely be returning to try out a few of the cheeses. Really glad to have something like this in Beeston
