   The staff were so friendly and really helpful with both wine and cheese recommendations! They were so knowledgeable and allowed us to taste test the wine before we chose the perfect one. Our host went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience and it really was amazing! The atmosphere and decor were good, the cheese and wine were fantastic and so was the service. Definitely an experience you need to try if you want to get more into cheese! Thank you so much.

   I was very disappointed with the service of The Bishops Cave. Didn’t get the half the treatment most people were getting, with recommendations for cheese and wine that the table next to us was. We got told to look at the cheese and guess almost. We were asked us to leave in 20 mins I understand we only have the table for so long but could’ve been worded a bit nicer. We still had a full glass of wine to drink. Food wine was delicious but was let down by the service we received. I will not be returning!

    Once again absolutely delicious food and the raspberry beer was amazing! I don’t often drink beer or drink at all but I would happily come here even for just a pint with my husband over a pub any day.

    We had a very nice evening and loved the cheese. However we thought the crackers were rather cheap and cheerful and would have preferred something more interesting and tasty like oat cakes and sourdough crackers .

    The Bishop's Cave is fantastic for an evening out which is a little different. We choose a cheese platter to share and you can go and choose which cheeses you prefer.The staff are very passionate and knowledgeable and will help you select them. The setting is amazing as the building is very old with all the beams which adds to the atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit.

    Went for the first time as we were given a voucher and did not know what to expect. Basically it is a really nice deli that serves a great selection of beer and even better wine. We had one board of meats and another of Cheese and a Scotch egg which between 2 was far too much (but took the leftovers home for the family to enjoy). Next time we will have the mixed board plus something else (pork pie???) Staff were good and very helpful.

    Another fantastic evening at The Bishop’s Cave. I don’t know exactly what makes it such a great night every time - the excellent and well priced wine list, impressive choice of amazing cheeses of every type you could imagine or the obvious passion and knowledge of the staff, or the intimate setting. No doubt a winning combination.
