You walk up past the farm and the goats who's milk this cheese is produced from, and ring the bell of the house. Out pops the lady and shows you all the products they have available that have been produced right there on the farm. At this time of year, stock is a little limited, but the lady explained to us that the milk production had just started again and they were soon to be very busy producing lots of goats cheese. She let us sample a few of the different cheeses she had available and we plumped for some hard cheese with a paprika rind and some soft cheese balls in garlic. Both were very tasty, and buying a product direct from the farm where they are produced from start to finish is something truely special.

A good range of "standard" UK and continental cheeses supplemented by a changing range of…read moreinteresting and unusual mixes like "chilli burner" and "apricot and Wensleydale". Many come from local suppliers. They claim to stock over 150 cheeses from all over the world, although I haven't tried to count them. Personal favourites include a heavenly camembert and the mature stilton. Prices are substantially below the eye-popping sums asked by the periodic French food markets held just outside on the Town Hall Square, so it's always worth visiting Kevin's stall first. The stall also sells butter, a good range of eggs, jams, pickles and preserves. Don't confuse it with The Cheese Shop on Northgate Street, the destination for small-scale specialist cheese sales. Shop here for your everyday produce. We have always been impressed by the quality of the produce, the good service and keen prices.

You can't go wrong with great cheese. Ask if you don't know staff are great…read more The guys here stock a wide variety of cheese, crackers, chutney and many other little bits and pieces. If there is something that takes your fancy or you just need a hand choosing your latest and greatest cheese board. It's not the biggest shop in the world but sometimes good things come in small packages. Prices are middle of the road to high but you get what you pay for. It's always nice to get some good cheese and this is a great place to fulfil that need.

The excellent selection of different chutneys and oils pushed this shop higher in my estimations and when I saw they had a handful of real ales on the bottom shelf I was in dreamland (and 4 stars became 5).

This place really stood out to me amongst the small, quaint shops and boutiques of Knutsford. The outside seating looked very inviting, but it was a little bit cold so we opted to go inside. The inside is small, no more than 8 tables - but I liked it. Warm, cosy and cute. They offer a fantastic little menu consisting of soups, sandwiches, salads and some special seasonal dishes - but we opted for some coffees instead, which were lovely. But this place is more than a cafe, The Cheese Yard also sells artisan cheeses that they buy from cheese makers all over then world, as well as and boutique wines, beers and ciders too. You can order a fantastic range of these cheeses to try with some lovely homemade chutneys and crackers. Alternatively, customers were popping in to buy selections of their favourite cheeses to take home. It really is a lovely place.

Mmm cheese! Lovely little shop in Cleveleys stocking a great choice of cheeses. The friendly…read moreproprieter is knowledgeable and happy to advise you if, like me, you can't make up your mind which ones to choose :-) Also has a good range of chutneys including the Cottage Delight range of products which are really pleasant. Top quality biscuits and oatcakes to grace any cheeseboard are available and a small range of other products too. Forget the vacuum packed mass produced cheeses from the supermarkets, come along to a little shop like this and get some real cheese you won't regret it! :-)

Wow, if you like cheese then go no further than this little gem. It is only a small shop in the…read moremain shopping centre of Cleveleys, but it really stocks a wide selection of cheese. The owner tries to stock locally made cheese as well as cheeses from around the world. It is up to you how much you want, none of this pre-packed rubbish sold here. Fresh eggs of various sizes, including duck eggs are available as well as a range of honeys, jams and fruit butters. To complement your cheese a full range of crackers and biscuits are stocked as well as various pickles and chutneys. So if you want a pound of mousetrap or a small piece of Garstang Blue, the Crumbly Cheese is the place to go.

As a youth, walking past this place whenever I was in Birkdale always fascinated me. For some…read morereason though, I always remembered it as being a cheese museum and/or factory, perhaps like a miniature Willy Wonka factory situated in the middle of Birkdale village. Quite how I managed to think that could happen in this small shop is unclear; you could barely fit the oompa-loompas in here, let alone the other bits. I recently visited the Cheese Centre again though and found it to be a lovely, family-run shop that has a brilliant selection of cheeses. Whilst I'm not a massive fan of cheese, even I was salivating whilst browsing all the different flavours they had, but with their products changing on a weekly basis I would definitely recommend you visiting the shop yourself to savour all of its delights. If by some chance you don't see a cheese that you fancy, the staff will also be more than happy to try and find it for you and order it in. As well as cheese, they also do hampers, specialist foods and a selection of cheesecakes (which is a lot more my thing) and I can confirm they are as delicious as the cheeses, with a light yet flavoursome consistency. A delightful little shop for all your dairy-based needs.

My favorite has always been the Garstang Blue its very mild in tasting not like most Stilton type cheeses. They also make some delicious cheese and onion pies on site and their blue cheese sausages just cant be resisted. I have given a 5 star review as in my opinion Dewlay tick all the right boxes. A quality company. quality produce & pleasant staff. Well Done.........Keep up the good work in making Cheese for us across the County.

This is somewhere where I've wanted to try for awhile. I…read morebooked a table just to be safe as it ended up being smaller than expected. We were greeted warmly and shown to our reserved table which consisted of a squishy sofa with a low coffee table. We did ask if we could be seated elsewhere as it seemed impractical to eat food there . Graciously we were taken to the back with high tables much better! The food is fantastic if you love cheese (as the place name suggests) meat, and nibbles. There were a few starters or for £15 each you could choose a platter with x2 cheeses of your choice. We ordered ours separately as my fella isn't a stinky cheese fan haha While we waited (which was a while) I was served a tasty zombie cocktail and himself a tasty flat white. The platter looked great when it eventually landed. Homemade pork pie, scotch egg, chicken, beef, Italian meats, various fruit, olives, crackers and bread .oh and the cheese. It was all beautifully presented and tasted excellent . The malbec served was also gorgeous. Overall it was a nice experience, cosy, lovely staff and food with quirky mouse artwork. Only thing I would suggest is the type of seating as another couple walked in and asked the same thing aka to be moved from a non squishy sofa to eat and the service a little slow but will be back for sure

I popped in here to catch up with an old school friend and we only wanted a light snack, so I got the 'nibble' cheese platter which was around £6.95 if I remember correctly and comes with a coffee or tea. The big platters are around £12 so I didn't expect to get much cheese- I had a choice of three from the deli counter. Went for a French Brie, creamy blue Brie and this incredible horseradish cheese, which is really tasty if you like horseradish. They brought loads- for just over £6 it was an amazing deal and plenty for one person. The platter came with a stack of crackers, chutney, grapes- it was a steal! My friend Holly had the coffee and cake option. It was insanely good value for money! The decor is a bit simple and basic but the staff are fantastic and the cheese top notch. I believe they have a BYOB system so you can bring your own wine to have with the cheese!!
