Cave a Fromage Western Road, Hove. La-cave.co.uk Western Road, Hove. La-cave.co.uk Visit the Cave a Fromage’s website and the headline that hits you is ‘Welcome to the World’s 3rd Most Amazing Cheese Shop!’ Personally I think that this is selling themselves short as this is no ordinary cheese shop, this is a cheese shop with a tasting cafe where you can enjoy platters of cheese and charcuterie with a bottle of fine wine. Those of you that have read any of my reviews before will know that I am partial to a bit of cheese and the odd drop of wine so when I was given the opportunity to review here I didn’t hesitate. As always I was accompanied by my reviewing partner Jo when we set off for Hove on a cold Saturday night. We were a little unsure about what to expect as neither of us had tried the dining experience before but we were warmly welcomed on arrival and shown to one of only a handful of high tables towards the rear of the shop. The place had a relaxed feel to it and the other diners were engrossed in conversations across tables of wine and cheeses. Our waiter brought the menus and enthusiastically talked us through the options. These guys really know their cheeses. 46
