GO: Cheese Sharing & Tasting Evening

Cheese Tasting, with Good Ale Range too!

As an alternative to the famous Wellington pub, where we usually hold these cheese evenings, we are going to The Jewellers Arms this month. It is a similar pub, and the event format is similar. Everyone is required to bring some cheese. The pub supplies cutlery, plates, buffet service, and accompaniments such as bread, pickles, crackers, salad vegetables..

General Logistics:
Time: 6:45pm prompt (or earlier to help grab tables) for 2-3 hours
Venue: The Jeweller's Arms, 23 Hockley Street, Jewelry Quarter, B18 6BW.

Cost: No Entry Fee.
Hosting: Welcoming is usually collective among those attending, unless someone offers to be a contact. Or with a significant attendance, we will look to appoint a welcomer.

On Arrival:
We've done this event many times before, and it was well enjoyed by all! To make this work well for our group, we need to get there early to secure a few adjacent tables, so please arrive by 6:45pm (or even earlier if you can) to optimize your chances of finding a seat, though we look out for people until 7.15pm.
Take your cheese to the buffet counter in return for a ticket. The cheese is pooled among all their customers for a cheese tasting evening, where you get to sample a lot of cheeses. The venue will provide some bread, biscuits and pickles for accompaniment. The buffet will typically open shortly after 7pm and remains open later for second helpings.

Tasting Notes:
To lubricate the taste buds, there are usually around 10 traditional hand pull ales available which can be sampled in half-size glasses, and a few traditional ciders to boot.

Attendance:
Minimum attendance 10, Maximum attendance 25. As with all events, please RSVP courteously, which means that no-shows and withdrawals in the last 24 hours are not allowed. There is nothing more infuriating than having the event guest list chopping and changing at the last moment. Thank you for your understanding.

Please also note that internet messages tend not to be monitored during the event or while people are travelling there.
