ABOUT
Cheese etc. is a specialty cheese shop doubling as an intimate bar serving a range of outstanding hyperlocal and other Australian wines, beers, cider and drinks alongside a dine-in menu of platters, gourmet toasties and house-made bar snacks.
I'm a cheesemonger, cheese caterer and occasional cheese judge but more than anything I am a cheese lover. I find it endlessly interesting in its variety of flavours, styles, places of origin and methods of manufacture. I love the rich histories of the cheeses themselves, but also of the incredible people that have made them over the millennia since humans first juggled curds and whey.
In 2014 I decided to go all in to become a full time cheese professional, opening my pop-up shop in North Sydney's Drink Better Wine in 2015. In 2017 I moved with my family to the Southern Highlands, opening at The Mill in Bowral that November. We've now moved to a custom-built, fully licensed space in High Street Bowral where I look forward to continuing to share my favourite cheeses and other goodies with you.
Cheese etc. offers cheese for sale from the shop, eat-in and takeaway dining, as well as services in catering, private events, off-site tastings, workshops and more. I would love the opportunity to work with you on the perfect platter or to put together an incredible staff party, team-building event or wedding cake. Just contact me on 0479 197 331 or at hugh@cheeseetc.com.au.
Thanks for checking out the site and bon appétit.

A note on Cheese etc., your safety & COVID-19
I want to assure all my customers past, present (and future!) that I practise – and always have practised - robust food safety and cleanliness procedures. I am myself a Food Safety Supervisor and always observe best practice measures when it comes to cleaning, hygiene, hand washing, sanitisation, use of gloves and more. Anyone coming to my shop can be certain that I am doing all that I can to reduce risk to you. Cheese etc. is a registered COVID Safe Business and we are diligently following health updates.
Please stay informed and respect the current self-isolation, social distancing and other health recommendations. I do not want to deprive you of cheese, however, and would be happy to discuss with you ways to get your goodies to you if none of the above measures work for you!
I hope you and your families, friends and loved ones stay safe, healthy and happy.
