Step into an unforgettable night where history, flavour and music come together beneath the ground.

Your journey begins with a welcome cheese and cider pairing to the sound of our live lounge singer, before venturing underground for a guided tour of Kents Cavern – home to our very own cave-aged cheddar, quietly maturing in the depths. In the Bear’s Den, you’ll take part in our celebrated blind cheese tasting in complete darkness, as featured on BBC Spotlight.

The evening continues in our Firestone café, where our team will present a decadent cheese platter showcasing the finest local varieties, complete with perfectly paired accompaniments, tasting tips, and a touch of friendly trivia. As you savour each bite, relax into the smooth sounds of our live lounge singer again, creating the perfect soundtrack to your cheese-filled celebration.

Your evening begins at 6pm (arrival recommended from 5:30/5:45pm) and the first hour is spent inside the cave on a guided tour with some cheese tasting as you go. After this, you'll be seated in our Firestone Cafe where the main cheese tasting platter will be served for you to sample some delicious local cheeses and accompaniments alongside listening to our lounge singer. The evening is expected to finish about 9pm

Why Kents Cavern?

Our cheese isn’t just served here - it’s matured deep within the caves. As one of Devon’s most iconic historic landmarks, Kents Cavern provides an immersive setting, making this a cheese tasting experience like no other in the UK. We’ve even been featured on BBC Spotlight for our unique cave-aged cheddar and sensory blind tasting in complete darkness!

The unique, natural conditions of Kents Cavern (consistent temperature and humidity) are ideal for maturing cheddar through a process called ‘cave-ageing’.
