Some might think that in early January, not long after Christmas excess, we might have had enough cheese and cured meats and we’d avoid them for a while…..what foolish people.  You can NEVER have enough cheese and cured meats and when you see that Pairings have a January offer of a bottle of wine and a platter for two for £25 how could you refuse? Exactly. 

This was our first trip to Pairings and it’s a great way to spend an evening if you don’t want a full meal.  I was really impressed with the quality of the platter and the choice available in meats and cheeses. The platter came with bread, honey, chutney, pickles and pork pie as well as our chosen meats and cheeses and it was great to see British cheese and cured meats in the selection. 

  
 We also ordered some harissa almonds, make sure you get some harissa almonds. 

  
This is a great addition to the York food scene, an independent venture that’s well worth supporting.
