The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch will take place on Saturday 20th Sept. We will closing later this time (9pm) so if you can't make it for lunch you can at least have a good supper with real beer. We will also have an outdoor covered area this time.

The Ploughmans Lunch will consist of your choice of pie and 2 cheeses with the usual trimmings: English Chutney, strong pickled onions, bread & salad. Price CHF 17.00. We will also be serving a Gourmet cheese plate with chutney and crackers for CHF 15.00.

Cheeses on offer will include: Quicks' farmhouse cheddar, Godminster Organic cheddar, Cropwell Bishop organic Blue Stilton, Shropshire Blue, Appleby's farmhouse Cheshire, Sparkenhoe Red Leicester, Hawes Mature Wensleydale, Dorset Drum as well as a number of lesser known British cheeses (if they arrive here in time). All cheeses can also be bought to take home.

The beer will be English Ales from Spiffing Ales. (We will also be serving wine)

More details on the Pie Shop in English can be found here

sounds like your 'guinea pigs' truly enjoyed the chocolates...
Forget the "guinea", it was purely "oink, oink".

Thank you Jack, they were delicious.

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

I was saying to the Pie Shop ladies that it was great they stayed open so long for us. Don't they normally close at 4 on Saturday? We wouldn't have been able to come during the day so it was cool to be able to have dinner there.

And for the next one we are thinking of keeping the juice flowing to much later, maybe 11 or so. You all seemed to be having such a great time (as I was for the last half an hour that I managed to join you) that it was a pity to break up the party.
