WE ARE FROTH&RIND

It’s been a great 9 years, but the time has come to close the doors of Froth&Rind.

We’ve absolutely loved serving coffee, cheese, toasties, etc. to the wonderful people of Walthamstow and everyone who has visited from further afield. We’ve loved both seeing familiar faces and making new friends.

We’ll be closing our doors on the 31st May but going full tilt up to then and would love to see everyone who has helped make Froth & Rind such a special place.

As for our St Mary’s location, discussions are now underway to find a new partner to take over the running of the church cafe and to ensure a seamless transition, with the intention of keeping the cafe open as normal beyond the 31st May.

Fras is leaving to spend more time with his family who have been missing him for nine years. We had planned for someone to take over and keep things going, but in the end it wasn’t possible.

At Froth & Rind you can enjoy a locally roasted coffee with a wide range of local cakes, pastries and other treats and the increasingly famous mega cookies from Bakes by Olivia. We also have a range of cheese toasties for you to enjoy plus some exciting weekly specials on the menu.

We’re also a cheese shop stocking a range of fine cheeses, carefully curated by our cheesemongers. We have an ever increasing range of Scottish cheeses and some unusual cheeses from Europe. We also stock wine and small batch gins and rums for you to enjoy. We love pairing cheeses with the drinks and have a number of recommendations for any particular cheese.

We also offer a number of gift options available for collection, local or nationwide delivery, including our best selling Froth & Rind gift boxes.

We are an accredited London Living Wage Business.

In May 2023 we opened a second venue at St Mary’s Church, one of Walthamstow’s oldest buildings. The cafe here has a large amount of seating both inside and outside in the peaceful church settings.

We have opened a second venue at St Mary’s Church in Walthamstow. We’re currently serving coffee and pastries as well as some light lunches made by the superb Merci Marie. This venue is different to our original Froth & Rind but we’ll still have the same happy service and relaxing atmosphere.

Our Cheese Range

We source the best British cheeses we can find such as Baron Bigod, a superb English brie, the ever popular Cornish Yarg, classic Colston Bassett Stilton, plus an ever increasing range of Scottish cheeses, including Strathearn, a cheese washed in 10 year old single malt whisky, St Andrews Cheddar, a traditional tangy Scottish cheddar and Blackmount, one of the most delicious goat’s milk cheeses we’ve tried.

We also stock cheeses from France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain with some of our favourites being Auvergne's classic Fourme d'Ambert, the magnificent Reypenaer Gouda, aged for two years and the simply irresistible Carboncino from Piedmont, Italy.

We can deliver cheese to anywhere in the UK mainland, so either ask in the shop for details or also visit www.eastlondoncheeseboard.co.uk to buy cheese online. Our website has recently started stocking the delicious, award winning Isle of Wight Blue and the very new and controversial, but utterly delicious Minger, a glorious washed rind cheese from Scotland.

We have several cheesemongers with Academy of Cheese training to Member and Associate Level.

We were featured on London Eater in their “Where to eat cheese in London” and “Nine Brilliant Under-the-radar Restaurants in London”.

We stock cakes and pastries from some fantastic local bakers such as Bakes by Olivia, Flourish and Wood Street Bakery and a range of small batch soft drinks by local producers. You can also enjoy a delicious craft beer or glass of wine to wash down your toastie.

High Altitude

High Altitude

High Altitude is Froth & Rind’s very own cold brew coffee liqueur.

High Altitude is made in Walthamstow, using our own cold brew coffee and a few botanicals to give it a cheeky twist. Despite the powerful coffee hit, it’s very easy drinking and is delicious poured over ice or as part of an Espresso Martini. It has an ABV of 20% and currently comes in 500ml and 200ml bottles.

Wine

Wine

We now having a growing selection of wine in our Walthamstow store, which we select to compliment the cheese we stock. We can recommend cheeses to go with each of our wines and talk to you about pairings and how to pair cheese and wine.

Among the most popular wines we stock are a zesty Picpoul de Pinet, a spicy Californian Zinfandel and a beautiful dry rosé. We have plenty more great wines to share with you though, most of which you can also buy from our online wine section.

You can also buy our recommended cheese and wine pairings in our online shop too, or if you prefer, come into the shop and we’ll guide you through it.

No & Low Alcohol

We have a growing range of no and low alcohol drinks available at Froth & Rind. We have a low alcohol lager from Toast available now and no alcohol lager, IPA, pale ale and stout from Nirvana Brewery coming soon.

Aside from beer we stock no alcohol drinks and cocktails from Square Root, plus no alcohol Spirits from Pentire and Feragaia.

Cheese Club

Cheese Club

We run a monthly Cheese Club where members receive a selection of the finest cheeses available, often along some sort of theme. For example some of the monthly themes have been 'British Classics', 'Euro 2016', 'Italian', all of which have gone down a treat with our Cheese Club members.

There are a number of member benefits to signing up such as introductory offers, free gifts, money off vouchers, first option on ticketed events and more. We're also flexible to your tastes so if, for example, you don't like blue cheese we'll replace the blue with something else.

The cost is £25/month and for an additional cost we can deliver anywhere in the UK but you're also welcome to collect in store.

If you're interested in the above then please have a look at our cheese subscription page.

Cheese Wedding 'Cakes'

One of our favourite parts of the job is creating cheese 'cakes' for weddings. We can produce a tower to your exact needs or to take some of the wedding preparation workload from you. We're happy to take full control and can work with your venue or planner to make sure you have a wedding cheese tower to remember.

We can provide the cheese, crackers, chutneys and other accompaniments as well as the decoration to make sure it looks amazing as well as tastes amazing.

Drop us an email at the address below or pop into the shop for a chat. We'll make sure that you taste plenty of cheese to get exactly what you need. We can also send the cheese anywhere in the UK for you to decorate yourself so feel free to get in touch or visit our growing list of cheese wedding cakes
