About This Pub

Ah, The Bishop's Cave – it's one of those hidden gems in Bishop's Stortford that just feels like a proper treat for a laid-back evening. From the reviews I've had a look at, folks are raving about the wine and beer selection; it's got a real range that caters to all sorts, whether you're into something bold or a bit more subtle. Pair that with their excellent cheese and charcuterie boards, and you've got a winning combo for a cosy night in. The staff come across as genuinely friendly and attentive, always ready to chat about options or help out with any dietary needs – that's a nice touch that makes you feel right at home. It's buzzing with people, which adds to the lively yet relaxed feel, making it ideal for a catch-up over drinks. On the flip side, though, the food choices are a bit on the slim side; it's mostly platters and a couple of snacks, so if you're hoping for a full menu with hearty mains, you might end up a tad disappointed and need to pop elsewhere for that. All in all, it's a solid spot if you're after good company, great tastes, and an unpretentious vibe – just keep expectations in check for the grub, and you'll have a brilliant time.

They only serve cheese and meat platters, and Scotch Eggs/Pork Pie, so the food choice is limited. But the cheese choice itself is very good.

Perfect little place for great cheese, charcuterie and drinks. They do a few things and do them really well! Service was friendly too. I tried some of the beers, all awesome. The wine menu looked tempting enough for me to be back soon!
