A cheesemonger known for its tasting events is expanding into hosting a wider variety of cheese-based experiences.
Cheese and Bees in Walpole St Andrew was taken over by Peter Pooley and his family in June after the former owners decided to close.
The family pride themselves on being "a full traditional cheesemonger with an old-fashioned approach to customer service" and hosted their first open cheese-tasting day in November.
The shop has since expanded from offering 65 cheeses to almost 100 and its next tasting events will run on May 4 and May 5.

"I can barely believe how quickly we’re growing - it feels rather scary at times,” Mr Pooley said.
"Customers seem to love the experience we’re providing and our personal touches.

"We’re not just another soulless shop selling run-of-the-mill products - people are engaging and becoming part of it."
The firm’s produce is being showcased at new events such as cheese and charcuterie experiences at the Brothers Arms in Walpole St Andrew every other Friday from May 10.
Cheese and Bees is also starting to offer a Taste and Talk opportunity where experts are hired to host seminars relating to cheese and there are plans for online tasting sessions.
