no immediate plans tomorrow, might pop up if i can.

i will try looking for it since i haven't been to that area yet, might as well take a tour, it will all depend on the weather too

is there someone there from zurich who is coming alone that might want to go together with me just for company?

Out of town tomorrow, but the Phead double thumbs up for Cheese award goes to Mike and especially his Shropshire blue.

Thanks everyone for all the best wishes and thumbs up! The shop building work is not quite finished, but to make up for it we will be opening a number of bottles of fermented grape juice in case the Ale does run out.

I'm at a seminar tomorrow but I'll be sending good vibes to your opening day.
All the best.xxxxx

Will not be there tomorrow, but try and stop me in the coming weeks as I'll be down to the shop quite a few times before Christmas.. wow sausages and all the cheeses.. It's going to be a good Christmas this year

been there, bought 2 bottles of ale for myself, and several classes of cheese, also got the last pie

great place mike, will be back there for some more, after my stock are all wiped out of the fridge

Mmmmmmm. Chilli jam. Very happy.

Also veyr drunk, but that's by the by...

guess you emptied the free ale barrel dougal

and the crate of fizzy fermented grape juice. Hope he re-cycles the bottle he was clutching under his arm as we shooed the stragglers away at 7.30 .

Thanks everyone for coming. We sold out of pies and sausages, will try to get Cumberland soon and more of the Chillilli.

Watch this space for more special Satuday openings, including sat 14th November when Jack will be presenting his hand made chocolates. He left a tray yesterday for free tasting and they were gone by lunchtime, they're seriously good!

Big thanks also to Kadie, our neighbour up here who volunteered her free day to help man the till and pour the wine, she did a great job!

He used the back of black scandi tank as his recycling bin.

Congratulations to Mike and Bob for the shop; and for having Colins and Jacks delicious products there as well.

(***Kadie was super at the till and serving libations- never a glass was empty***)

Thanks Grumpy and JLP!

Congratulations Mike on the opening and all of your hard work. I hope the shop's success continues.

I really enjoyed the day and it was so much fun meeting regular EFer's!

DB - I'm with you about the chilli jam - sensational! hmmmm... I think I'll skip brekkie and have an early lunch.....cheese and chilli jam

....

a veritable treat, great to see you & Astrid again & n ice to meet Kadie & Bob .... Lanark Blue will not last the week, so will certainly be back for more before the end of the month.

Cheers

Also congratulations from us! Nice shop indeed. It also seems like your Shropshire Blue has triggered Cameron's first real word. As we strapped him into the car seat he kept saying "Cheeeeeeeese"

yes the shop was very nice as were the people (of course). But that bacon is what is sensational i just ate it for breakfast with some eggs(not the whole pack i would like to add) it was soooooooooooo good it almost felt like being back home in england eating a nice bacon and egg breakfast on a sunday morning with a nice cup of coffee.

But thank you and congratulations, also good luck for the future.

also got lots of cheese in my fridge, missed everyone (Dougal, polorise)
as i sort of grabbed cheese and ran!
sorry kadie, i didn't know u were an EF'er! but i was the one who asked for crackers and then changed my mind!
thanks again mike and i will use some of the cheddar tonight in baked potatoes (swiss style though...)

Just wondering as a non-Zuricher, are there any plans to open an on-line version of the whole shop, including the cheese, pies, beer and bacon/sausages?

I imagine there might be some demand from the rest of Switzerland for something like that, starting with me

Cheers!

Spiffing Ales can be purchased online in the shop but you would have to collect - it's not normally possible to deliver Real Ales as the delivery companies couldn't correct handling. However, we could arrange personal delivery of large quantities on an ad hoc basis.

Cheese will suffer being delivered overnight, but meat can be a problem. I do know there is a demand, at least in Geneva from the expat-expo there, and we are looking at ways of getting our products to some other retailers. Watch this space!

Sounds good - make sure you keep us posted Mike

Cheers!

And Basel please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
