experience in selecting, sourcing, storing and serving the best of English and
Continental cheeses to both the general public and to the trade. Our staff are
all knowledgeable in the field of cheese and will be happy to advise you.
We are conveniently placed in North Derbyshire, adjacent to the Peak District
National Park and within easy reach of Sheffield and the rest of South
Yorkshire. If you have the opportunity, why not visit our wonderful market town
of Chesterfield, the extensive open market and the refurbished Market Hall.
Of course, no such visit can be complete without walking into our shop,taking
in the aromas, viewing the marvellous extensive selection of cheeses, and
perhaps even purchasing some to enjoy with your family and friends. "Don't
quibble, ask for a nibble", prior to making your choice. If you're local,
consider coming to one of our Cheese Tasting Evenings.
In our selection of French Cheese, you will find some from products from the
area surrounding Chesterfield's twin town of Troyes. In particular, there's our
Chaource cheese . In due course, our website will feature our French
connection. One new addition to our product lines is Pete Welbourne's award
winning Lincolnshire Plum Bread
excellent with our cheeses.
Most recently, we have begun to stock cheese from Sean Wilson's Saddleworth Cheese Company. Many of you will recall Sean as Martin Platt in Coronation Street for more than 20 years. Sean joined our stand at Bakewell Show this year and succeeded in carrying off a major prize in the Cheese competitions. View some of our photos. Sean also joined us, with his own stall, at the Chesterfield Market Festival at the end of October. View a short film on YouTube of Sean in Chesterfield.
