If there is a food group that I love more than chocolate then there can only be one contender. This…read moremay surprise you but my first love is actually cheese. More cheese Grommit and plenty of it. The Cheese Board is pretty much a celestial invention then. It stocks 200 types of speciality cheese, hampers and cheese wedding cakes; local, British and Continental cheese. I mean how good is that. Cheese tastic goodness and so much of it. You best get Daisy eating more cud, we're going to need the milk. Now I pride myself on knowing my fromage from the babybels but if you don't fear not. The people who work there all know their stuff and are really approachable. I wonder if there is such a position as a cheese guru and if so how can I apply. I left armed with the smelliest stilton ever. The more mould the better but only on my cheese not in general everyday life. It would also be rude not to try a nice slab of Wensleydale too. Remember to try keeping it local folks. I may stop mid sentence because this is me in my element. Cheese arama and total indulgence. What a winner.

This shop is well loved by many, but i'm not sure of it…read more When you first walk in, the place has character i give it that. But this is quickly demolished by the fact that the shop is very cramped to the point where i nearly fell over a basket. The staff ask you what you want straight away too, which i don't like, as i like to take my time and have a good look through everything and not feel harrassed. I love cheese, but i find it rather expensive to be honest for what you get as well - i got some sheeps milk wenslydale and it came to about £7 for my average sized hunk. It was nice, but for £7 i expect it to blow my socks off which it didn't. I've paid less for other, rarer cheeses at newer deli's in Harrogate - where i've been allowed to taste them first before buying as well - and been blown away by what i got. Its an ok shop, but i'm afraid that there are better contenders out there now to be honest.

Oh, The Cheese Society, how I wish I could charter my own little plane right now to fly across the…read moresea and sit in the warm of your cozy cheese-centric cafe. Of the many eateries my husband I tried during a two-week trip to England, The Cheese Society stands out as one of the best. Tucked at the bottom of Steep Hill in Lincoln, it's part cheese shop, part cafe, fully lovely. I had no trouble finding a seat at a communal-sized table in the middle of the store on a weekday for lunch. The cheese-monger working behind the counter came by several times while I was enjoying my meal to ask if he could "ply me with cheese" - the answer was always, without thought, "yes!". He was so kind and incredibly knowledgeable about cheese. The menu is fairly small and - you guessed it - completely centered around cheese and all its glory. I had a cheddar & herb scone which I won't stop dreaming of any time soon, which was served with a slice of Godminster cheddar and butter on the side. I have since had Godminster flown across the ocean to my front door. Being a cheese glutton, I also ordered the Lincolnshire Rarebit, their spin on Welsh rarebit. It was also utter perfection. I washed it all down with a refreshing bottle of a crisp, dry local hard cider. Take me back!

IIIIIII love this place…read more It's no secret that I ruddy love cheese, and this place has a shop and restaurant. Can you really base an entire menu on cheese? I hear you ask. Well, in one word, yes. It is quite likely, that you will have to wait, but these guys are aware of their popularity, and they have comfy seats where you can wait, and have a glass of wine if you fancy. Varied menu, with gluten free options, though the gluten free bread was a but disappointingly cake-y. I've been here three? times now, and I've never been disappointed, though with that much cheese, do be fully prepared for a food coma, and maybe gout if you get addicted and come here everyday. The shop is also great, we've had many a floor picnic which we have supplied from here, as it's far more polite to collapse with a food baby in private!

I'm guessing Daniel Seymore is renting the shop off Malcom, but it's no bad thing. 3 stores specialising in meat might have been too much, especially in a place littered with raw meat. Known as the grocery store on Butchers Row, Daniel Seymore sells the other stuff. From drinks, including milk, to eggs, to cheese. It's a nice little shop that doesn't focus on any one thing. Any shop that has a sign that reads 'Any size block of cheddar for £1.50' cannot be a bad place. They prices are unbeatable, and it feels like a quality shop, rather than a load of stuff that's been thrown together. To hold on to the Malcom Michael crown, I suppose it would have to be worth it!

It sells local produce, with cheeses (though try not to be put off by the tub of Philly in the lit counter-bar), but what's more is that there is a vat of homemade jam behind the counter. I think that there is a real lack of delis in Leeds that sells its own home-made products, so The Food Emporium really gets a thumbs up from me.

Wow, I just love delicatessens like these. Just divine. The name 'emporium' is always a winner too…read more- it suggests, and rightly so, that extra edge of class. They sell all kinds of delicious deli delights, the things you might expect, but nothing you can imagine will compare to actually purchasing a beautiful sandwich of theirs! They sell some lovely cheeses, they are *purveyors* of European bread (yum!), they sell continental meats, speciality home made sandwiches and offer a great sit in experience if you want a delicious tea or coffee. It really is one of those 'must visit' places in Pudsey, which has it's mix of good indie and bad indie haunts. This one is definitely on the plus side, down to earth and delightful.
