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.
