23.08.2008 11:00 to 19:00
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Special Promotion
Location: The Pie Shop, Rotbuchstrasse 1a, 8006
Price: 18 Fr

Our very popular Ploughman's lunch is coming to Zurich at last on the 23rd August. The precise menu is still to be agreed (I'll add it here as soon as it is finalised), but the PML will include some sort of pie as well as some very special British Cheese.

We will be starting at 11am selling cheese and pies but the lunch will not start until noon. Closing time is set at 7 but could go on longer if we get enough demand, or have enough food and beer left.

The beer will be bottled only and will be coming from Spiffing Ales as well as the Rappi Bier factory. There will also be lager (I'll try to get some decent Appenzellar BIO Bier) and wine.

I'm trying very hard to get hold of some more Shropshire Blue in time for this (only 2 kilos left after the Rappi do) but I will have Stilton, Red Leicester, Godminster Cheddar and Hawes Wensleydale for sure as well as a couple of lesser known cheeses including Duddleswell mild Sheeps cheese from East Sussex.

Hope to see some new faces!

Mike

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's lunch at the Pie Shop

UPDATE: The lunch will consist of a large Ploughmans with a choice of 3 or 4 pies and about 6 cheeses. Cost is 18 Fr.

For those interested in trying some unusual artisan British cheeses we may also be offering a tasting plate of these for about 10 Fr.

I'm buying cheese this week in the UK and will have loads of Shropshire Blue, Organic Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton, as well as our usual Cheddars including Isle of Mull and Mull of Kintyre.

Also from Scotland, Lanark Blue & Maisies Kebbuck, 4 cheeses from County Cork and from England Rachel Goats cheese, Duddleswell mild sheep, mini Nettle & Wild garlic Yargs and plenty of Stinking Bishop. Don't let the name put you off, it's one of the best cheeses I have ever tasted.

See you all there!

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's Lunch at the Pie Shop

Thought I would give this a bump and add (for all of you who needs one) a map to the Pie shop... http://map.search.ch/8006-zuerich/rotbuchstr.1a

Either that or follow your nose... That Stinking Bishop is a killer!!

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's Lunch at the Pie Shop

Damn, I have a lunch date then and I'm not sure the poor unsuspecting man is ready to meet the EF force quite yet.

Depending on how good or bad the date is, I might be able to make it for dinner. Either way I win, how cool is that?


In other words - bump.

Kitters got a date! Kittsters got a date! I hope we don't see you today.
(To paraphrase Natasha "...useless without pics")

Ah heck, while I'm here... BUMP!

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's Lunch at the Pie Shop

Mmmm.... delicious cheese (though I ate too much), lovely beer, a proper cup of tea, pickled onions, pickle and Love Hearts.

It couldn't have been better!

Followed by a trip to the HB to eat curry and imagine I was in Leicester (a big Indian mela, lots of fun), and then the Rot Fabrik to look at nice pictures.

A splendid EF-inspired day... looking forward to the next one!

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's Lunch at the Pie Shop

I had a delicious time- the cheeses and pies were yummmmm. These events are not to be missed.

PS. someone and their hair gelling left quite an effect on V.

(Kittster- I'm glad your date went well!)

Thank you Jennifer and DB (and to all of you who managed to come)!

It did indeed go very well, despite the damp weather. It looks like we will be doing this every month now although we will probably be starting at about 1 pm and finishing about 9 pm. I'll also be bringing our gazebo and patio heater so we can move outside. (also so Dave can enjoy his cigars and 2 bottles of wine in comfort)

We're also planning a whisky and cheese evening there with Scottish pies and for Christmas a Port & Stilton night. Gentleman will be expected to dress accordingly.

Dave did indeed enjoy his unexpected afternoon at the pie shop: good food, wine and pies. What more could a man want ?

Re: Pie & Cheese Ploughman's Lunch at the Pie Shop

I only dropped by to pick up some beer, but ended up eating a delicious pie, drinking superb Ale and taking some cheese home with me (that garlic yarg is great!)

I can't wait until next time! (there has to be a next time so I can bring my wife who gave me a hard time for not taking her along )
