Sam Smith, from Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery asked us to build a bespoke website for their flagship establishment in London. Famous the world over  as   a Grade II listed public house at 145 Fleet Street, on Wine Office Court, City of London. Rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is on the Campaign for Real Ale’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is an historic gem of a pub on Fleet Street, on the edge of the City of London. The pub was rebuilt in 1667 after the original one was burnt down by the Great Fire of London. Over the past 355 years the Cheese has been frequented by numerous prominent literary figures: Dr Samuel Johnson, Mark Twain, W.B. Yeats and Charles Dickens, who even featured it in his novel A Tale of Two Cities.

“Yesterday, I looked in at the Garrick at lunchtime, took one glance of loathing at the mob, and went off to lunch by myself at the Cheshire Cheese.” PG Wodehouse, 1906

The pub is a delightful labyrinth of different rooms: front bar, Chop House restaurant, Cheshire Bar, Cellar Bar, Williams Room and Johnson Bar to name but a few.
