Chiswick Cheese Market Partners Up with Honest Burger

by Dia Stronach The founders of the Chiswick Cheese Market have teamed up with Honest Burger on chiswick High Road to create their newest local specialty: the Cheesewick.

According to Honest Burger, the burger is named after an older name for the Chiswick area, which was Old English for ‘cheese farm’. Honest Burger said: “Working with the Chiswick Cheese Market founders, we tasted many great cheeses and settled on a combination of two cheeses from High Weald Dairy in Sussex and matched them with a sharp Smoky Tomato Relish made nearby from The Ealing Relish Company.” Served with a side of Honest Burger’s signature rosemary fries, the Cheesewick is a little sloppy to start, but quickly calms down into a deliciously meaty rare burger, which is not noticably cheesier than other Honest Burger offerings, but made with cheese our reviewer can’t speak highly enough of. It’s composed of beef, pancetta, Smoked Ashford Forester's and Sussex Saint Giles cheeses from High Weald Dairy, The Ealing Relish Company Smoky Tomato Relish, red onion and

rocket. Unfortunately, there isn’t a matching vegetarian option, although Honest Burger’s vegan options are excellent in and of themselves with a distinctive kick of spice. The burger is a sign that the relatively young Chiswick Cheese Market is really up and rolling now, with three new traders having joined this August: No. 2 Pound Street Cheesemongers from Wendover, Dispensamor Italian Cheese and Cheese Passion's artisan British cheeses. Highlights of the monthly event include a range of eating opportunities like Pasta Al Fly’s fresh on-site pasta, as well as a chance to shop for gems including Heritage Cheese’s Cornish Gouda Trethowan Bros’ Pitchfork Cheddar and Gorwydd Caerphilly.
