R.P. Davidson is a family owned and run traditional cheese
factor, based in Chesterfield. It was formed in 1960 by Roy Davidson who can
still be seen assisting in the shop or on the outside counter in
Chesterfield's historic market hall.
Our company is now run by Simon Davidson, one of Roy's sons, maintaining the
fine tradition of this local supplier of specialist cheeses.
Products are sourced from all over Europe, with prime examples of British,
French and other continental cheeses always available. Storage facilities in
our shop have been chosen to maintain our wide range of cheese in the best
possible condition. The original emphasis on the more familiar British
cheeses has developed considerably so that we can now offer a selection of
over 65 varieties.
Simon and his team of assistants have an excellent knowledge of cheese and
will be delighted to help and advise you in your choice. When you visit our
shop, if you wish, we will offer you a taste of any cheese in which you're
interested to help you with your choice.
The Davidson team has always
prided itself in service and you can be assured of a warm welcome when you
visit our shop.
Chesterfield has one of the
largest outdoor markets in the country, dating from the 12th Century and
moving to it current site in the early 13th Century, complementing the Market
Hall, dating originally from 1857 and beautifully refurbished to its current
state in 1980. The Market Hall shops open most days, but the main outdoor
Market days are Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, with a Flea Market on
Thursdays.
In addition to our selling cheese, we also have a range of fresh bread, pork
pies and we make sandwiches to order, using only the best materials.
