The Cheese Block - Southwark

I was a beginner cheese buyer in search of a cheese for my Dad's Christmas gift. I had no idea that this would be perceived as a crime. I was treated as though I was unintelligent and bothersome for simply inquiring. The service was exceptionally lacking and incredibly impolite. I departed from the store feeling close to tears. My recommendation: seek out a different cheese shop! There are numerous options in the vicinity that would be thrilled to assist you.

Stumbled upon the shop and had a lovely experience. Great people, very knowledgable and thoroughly enjoyed the choices they helped us pick. Will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Only been to this shop twice and both times the owner and his wife has the worst attitude ever! I tried to tap my AMEX and it declined Oh you don 't take AMEX the wife replies with Why would I? I reply I 'm only asking! wasn 't worth the aggro for a dry and tasteless samosa. The cheese, chutneys however are fantastic.

I started working and living in east dulwich years ago and discovered this shop, since then I haven’t looked back. I now no longer live in the area and drive over an hour to grt their cheese. Truly one of a kind

The Cheese block is superb. I have been going there for many years. It has a loyal following. I drive from Forest Hill just to go there. Yes, the owner is sometimes grumpy but I have seen him put up with an unpleasant lady who demanded to try about 10 cheeses and then not buying anything! I think that was her Lunch. Every cheese is in perfect condition. You can try before you buy but be reasonable. I don't bother to bring cheese back from European trips any more I can usually find it cheaper and in better condition at the Cheese Block. They always have a perfectly ripe full sized Brie de Meaux available. They do appreciate their regular customers and they tend to know what I will choose before I know myself! Lovely unusual chocolate, good choice of best biscuits for cheese and lovely bread. Also some Italian specialities best pasta, pannetone and fresh pastries.
