“Over the past 3 years from a tentative venture attending the Saturday market the Honest Fig has established itself as a must go to in the town. The cheeses on offer are truly top class and Linda's knowledge and enthusiasm have no boundaries. A warm greeting always awaits with advice and tasting always available.”
“What a delightful heaven of beautiful cheeses - and the fact they serve wine and cheese out in the lovely little courtyard is the height of civilisation! Wonderful!.”
