What makes a room right for this

A dinner is twelve people at one table, early in the week, when a good kitchen is at its quietest. We take a fixed menu, we tell you the numbers in advance, and we pay per head on the night. No room hire, no minimum spend, no deposit. These are the things that tend to make an evening like that work.

Upstairs at The Cheeseworks is the wine bar and kitchen above The Cheeseworks, the cheesemonger that has traded on Regent Street for more than twenty years. It opened above the shop in 2025, one room seating twenty five that takes up to thirty for private dining. The kitchen is built around cheese: toasties, charcuterie, sharing boards and small plates, with pickles, preserves and accompaniments made in house and bread from a local bakery. Wines are picked to drink with British and European cheeses, alongside local beer and cider. Lunch runs daily, dinner Wednesday to Saturday.
