Paxton & Whitfield - Cheesemongers- London





We have those special moments in our lives where everything seems perfect in the world. If we could only freeze that moment so it could be savoured a little longer. One such moment for me was in a cheese shop queue in England. Just ahead of me was a young man who apparently had just finishing horseback riding. He was wearing tan breeches and long black riding boots. I am an equestrian so that was thrilling for me. You don't typically see men in riding attire in the United States. The shop interior was cozy and quaint and at the end of the queue was a vast array of wonderfully compelling cheeses. The moment was so English! Next time you are in London, visit Paxton & Whitfield for a perfect English experience. I cant promise equestrians, however, I can promise a journey into the diverse world of artisan cheese matured on site. There are three charming locations to serve you- Stratford Upon Avon, Bath and London. Each with its own inviting ambiance and English Experience.
