A guided tasting of five seasonal cheeses with paired drinks in Deptford.

Forget chutney, this one’s for the curious.

Cheese, Please! – Unusual Pairings is a playful and surprising cheese tasting led by cheesemonger Lucy Cheese, exploring how cheese behaves when paired with flavours like chocolate, beer and beyond.

You’ll taste five carefully selected cheeses, each matched with an unexpected pairing, while Lucy explains why certain combinations work — and why others really don’t. The evening is relaxed, social and designed to spark conversation, laughter and discovery.

As you taste, you’ll be invited to doodle and take notes on a custom A3 illustrated table mat, which folds into a keepsake tasting booklet to take home with you.

Ideal for date nights, foodie friends, birthday plans or anyone looking for something a little different on a Friday night.

Once the tasting wraps up, guests are welcome to stay on for more drinks or head out to explore Deptford’s bars, restaurants and late-night spots, turning the evening into a full night out if you wish.

What’s included

– A guided tasting of 5 cheeses
– Wine pairings (and alternatives depending on the cheese)
– A light, engaging talk on origins, styles and tasting notes
– A beautifully designed A3 illustrated table mat to doodle on during the evening
– Your table mat folds into a take-home tasting notes booklet

Join us at Something Good Workshops in Deptford for Good Wine — an evening where wine tasting and drawing are interspersed throughout, creating a relaxed, social experience designed to wake up your senses.

You’ll be guided through a tasting of at least five wines (100ml pours) by our in-house wine guide, Jack Wild. Expect a no-nonsense approach focused on helping you understand what you actually like, why you like it, and how to choose wines with confidence.

Between tastings, we’ll lead a series of simple, playful still life drawing exercises using crayons and pastels. No experience needed — just a chance to loosen up, tune in, and enjoy the process.

A relaxed Friday-night tasting of exceptional Italian cheeses, thoughtfully paired and expertly guided.

Join us for Cheese, Please!, a relaxed and welcoming Italian cheese tasting hosted by local cheesemonger Lucy Cheese at Something Good Workshops in Deptford.

This Friday-night event is all about slowing down, tasting thoughtfully and enjoying great company. Lucy will guide you through five Italian cheeses, sharing stories about where they come from, how they’re made, and how to taste them properly — including one special cheese that features all three types of milk.

Each cheese is paired with a complementary drink, with a focus on enhancing flavour rather than formality. You’ll also receive a beautifully illustrated A3 table mat to doodle on during the tasting, which folds into your own take-home tasting notes booklet.

Perfect for foodies, couples, friends and small groups, this is a social, low-pressure way to learn something new while enjoying excellent cheese.

After the tasting finishes, you’re very welcome to stick around for more drinks or head out to explore Deptford Market Yard and the surrounding area, making it an easy and enjoyable way to spend your Friday evening.
