Sweet Cheesus!

I have a confession to make. I am cheese obsessed. Fat cheese, skinny cheese, hard cheese, soft cheese. Grilled cheese, fried cheese, baked cheese, creamy cheese. Put cheese in front of me, and I will devour it. In fact, my mouth is salivating right now at the mere thought of cheese. Yes, I have a problem. 

Given my obsession, it only seemed natural that I go on a mission. A mission involving the best cheese dish in human existence. That's right, I took it upon myself to find the tastiest, richest, most tummy ache inducing mac 'n' cheese in the whole of London. 

Here's my yays and nays so far - in order from the best, to the worst! Maximum score is 5 out of 5.

Taste - 5 
Aesthetic Appeal -5 (look at ALL that cheese!) 
​Atmosphere - 2
Service - 2

Top Tip - this is richness on drugs. Containing a mix of cheeder, Gruyère and parmensan cheese, trust me on this one and only order an entrée sized portion. Not only will your belly thank you, but your bank account will also (it's a whopping 7 quid for a tiny portion)! No regrets!
