📍 The only place to be this weekend. Seriously, we checked the other options and they just don't have enough cheese.

We are back open today, Saturday, doing what we do best: slicing up the finest artisanal cheeses, laying down high-welfare cured meats, and popping bottles of authentic, award-winning English wine.

No pretentious nonsense. Just incredible flavour, cosy lighting, and Dan behind the bar pouring the good stuff. 🍷

Since we’re only open two nights a week, tables don't stay empty for long. If you want a seat in Southend's favourite hidden gem, you know what to do.

Sounds better than a Zoom call, doesn't it?

Not all weddings are the same… so why should your cheese wedding cake be?

At Wine Meats Cheese, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Your wedding day is unique, and your cheese wedding cake should be too.

Whether you’re dreaming of a towering centrepiece packed with bold British cheeses, a refined selection of continental classics, or something completely bespoke, we’ll work with you to create a showstopper that’s every bit as memorable as the day itself.

We take our cheese wedding cakes seriously. That’s why we offer a personal consultation, including a sit-down tasting session with up to 10 cheese samples, allowing you to explore different styles, flavours and combinations until we’ve created the perfect cake for your big day.

And our service doesn’t stop there.

We can also provide delivery and set-up at your venue, ensuring everything looks picture-perfect when your guests arrive. If you’d like to make things even easier, we can even arrange for your cake to be professionally cut and served during your celebration.

From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we’ll help create a cheese wedding cake that reflects your tastes and gives your guests something they’ll be talking about long after the last dance.

Get in touch today to find out how we can provide the ultimate showstopper for your nuptials.

Because let’s be honest… everyone remembers the cheese course.

Featuring a very generous glass of Flint Vineyard Charmat Rosé and my immediate reaction from across the room:
“Mate… are you alright there?”

Because there’s topping up a glass… and then there’s pouring like your ex just got engaged.

To be fair, we do understand the lack of restraint. Flint Vineyard’s Charmat Rosé is dangerously easy to get carried away with — bright, fresh, packed with delicate strawberry fruit, soft bubbles, and the kind of crisp finish that makes “just one glass” completely unrealistic.

And honestly, if you’re going ham it up, at least make it good.

I have since recovered. The bottle, however, didn’t make it.

Introducing our newest addition… Chipcuterie

A totally original concept that we absolutely, definitely, 100% did not nick from Instagram… and honestly? We’re annoyed we didn’t think of it first.

Because this… this is outrageous.

Forget sad crisps in a bowl. Chipcuterie is lazy grazing elevated to an art form; salty, crunchy, cheesy, pickly perfection built for good wine, long chats, and “just one more handful” energy.

This weekend’s board is stacked with some of our absolute favourite things:
🥔 Proper salted kettle chips
🫒 Herb olives
🥒 Cornichons
🧅 Pearl onions
🧀 Hafod Welsh cheese
🥩 Prosciutto

It’s got crunch, it’s got salt, it’s got tang, it’s got richness, every bite gives you something different and somehow makes the next sip of wine or beer taste even better. Which, if we’re honest, is exactly what we’re all trying to achieve anyway.

And the wine pairings? Dangerous.

A chilled glass of Rosé brings out all the bright, savoury notes. Two Tree keeps things fresh and lively. Or, if you’re feeling slightly sophisticated, a glass of Martin’s Lane Chardonnay with and prosciutto is genuinely a bit of a moment.

This is the kind of thing that starts as “we’ll just have a little snack” and somehow turns into three glasses of wine and cancelling your evening plans.

Bliss made crispy.

And finally, a huge shout out to .pokes for helping us name this glorious, salty masterpiece and of course for being our tasting guinea pigs 🙌

Of course there will be imitation, but don’t be a dork come to for the proper experience.

Something seriously exciting has just landed… 🍓🍍🥂

Introducing brand new Pinot Noir Rosé 2025 and honestly, it’s every bit as good as it sounds. Packed with ripe strawberry, a lift of tropical pineapple, and a beautifully fresh, vibrant finish, this is summer in a glass done properly. Elegant, expressive, and incredibly moreish.

We’re genuinely lucky to be one of the very first to be stocking this exceptional new release - and yes, we’ve already got a few bottles chilling and ready to go.

There may have been an attempt to channel our inner Tom Gilbey along the way… but if you want decent wine without all the shouting, you know where to find us 😉

Whether you’re after a glass to kick things off or a bottle to settle into, this is one you’ll want to get involved with. Fresh, fruit-forward, and made for long evenings, good company, and that first proper taste of summer.

Pop in, grab a glass, and see what all the fuss is about — just don’t leave it too long… this one’s going to fly.

This week’s charcuterie board is all about bold flavor, beautiful texture, and that perfect balance of indulgence 🧀🍷
