London's Cheese Conveyor Belt Restaurant Serves 25 Different Cheeses - AFAR

"A conveyor-belt cheese bar launched as the second site from the team behind a popular Camden outfit, built around a 100-foot belt that carts 25 numbered British cheeses (each paired with its own condiment) past diners so they can sample plates priced by color from about £2.95–£6.10. The concept emphasizes serving cheeses at room temperature (about 12–16°C) for optimal flavor; the menu is curated by Mathew Carver and head cheesemonger Sam Wilkes and includes standouts like a Cropwell Bishop Stilton with a chocolate-and-oat cookie and the Fellstone raw-milk Wensleydale with fig-and-cocoa spread. Service works like a sushi bar: diners grab passing plates, stack them for checkout, and are encouraged to try blues and washed-rind varieties at low cost; visits are currently limited to an hour, and the format is both social-media-friendly and practically suited to sampling cheese." - Lottie Gross
