A definite must go if you are in Cardiff! The salad was fresh and interesting and delicious. The cheese board was excellent. The Welsh rarebit was Devine!!!

The Welsh rarebit is amazing and so is the goat cheese on toast with salad. I totally forgot to take a photo of my food, but I did get pics of everyone else's lol. The Camembert with maple bacon was a favorite too. Parsnip soup was good, but I love the potato leek better. The rarebit and welsh cowl are a must.

This place offers tours, however the last one had taken place when we arrived. Still, we tasted…read moresamples of 4 different aged cheddar and they were excellent. The service was wonderful and the cute shop a delight. We ended taking 2 different aged cheddars home and some other gifts as well. This locale in the Cheddar Gorge is superb. The drive down reminded me of a drive through the mountains in Switzerland, so beautiful. Certainly alot to see and do and walking is the way to do it. What a beautiful late afternoon in the Gorge. I look forward to returning to this beautiful place.

The Cheddar Gorge is famous for the cool caves that were used in the storage process of the cheese…read morethat they made in this area. I like cheese so I popped into this factory shop and I'm very glad that I did. On the way down the hill from the car park I popped into another gift shop that seemed to be offering cheese tasting, but the guy behind the counter had no customer service skills and I just left. The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company shop, however, in extreme contrast to the first shop, has staff members just standing around behind the counter with the soul duty of offering you a sample of all the various varieties of cheese that they make in the factory behind the shop. You don't feel awkward at all asking to try them all. I DID buy some before I left the shop and it wasn't touristy expensive. I wish that there was a shop like this in my town. Not a lot of photos being taken but everyone in the shop was saying cheese. Pity it is 388 miles away.

Me and my fella are an absolute nightmare in a deli! We're talking £20 minimum! But this one has…read moregot something special. The guy who serves you really knows his stuff and is really attentive. Yes, that means you sometimes have to wait a bit (it's never empty) but why be in a hurry when there's so many delicious goodies to browse. There's some fantastic cheeses and chutnies and jams and crackers but there's also some amazing scotch eggs, cheese and bacon bombs and quiches etc. This is one of my favourite cheese shops in the whole country so if you're in Sidmouth you simply must try it!

Cheese is a kind of meat, a tasty yellow beef!! I also go a bit wrong when I'm surrounded by cheese…read moreand this little dairy shop is no exception. The cheese here is just gloriously good, creamy, gorgeous, decadent and makes you feel a bit special! Cheese from here, some crackers a fine bottle of oaky red and I feel like I have found a small pathway to heaven! On top of that, the staff here are incredibly nice and helpful, although I have generally noticed that people who are mad about cheese are generally sound people :-) They also sell an incredibly good brown sauce here that goes fantastically with sausages. Very deserving of 5 stars.

From time to time I have been asked what I would choose should I be stranded on a desert island and…read moreonly allowed one food. Most islands being rife with fruit and fish I would probably choose cheese. I absolutely love the stuff. I love the smell, the taste, the history of making it, the process - all of it! As one can then imagine living in Bristol with Trethowan Cheese Maker and Monger just down the road, my cheese lust is often satiated. As well as a very good range of deliciously rich and creamy cheeses at this stall in St Nicholas's Market, there's also a wealth of information on offer. Any queries about the traditional style of cheese production can be answered here along with a few tasters and nibblers of course! They're not just a mongers, they're keen to stress, because they also sell the Gorwydd Caerphily. This is very much a Welsh word and one I don't understand. It looks a bit like the rind and is very very delicious. If cheese would be your desert island choice or not, this shop is worth the trip.

This is a small family run organic farm which produces cheese…read more We visited the farm on a very rainy day when we were all a bit fed up (me, hubbie and 4 children), our spirits soon improved when we got there though. When we were driving down the lane in the pouring rain we were sure we had taken a wrong turning but then we arrived at the small farm, seemingly in the middle of nowhere!! We would made to feel so welcome as we trudged up to the shop and dripped all over their floor. In the shop is a small veiwing gallery which looks down on the room where the cheese is made. The people making the cheese were friendly and although we couldn't speak to them or hear them as there was glass between us they were smiling and waving at the children. The lady in the shop talked us through what was going on in the cheese making room, it was actually very interesting!! Even all the children listened intently and asked a couple of questions. We were then invited to taste some of the cheese, I think maybe we ate a bit too much though as there was 6 of us!! The cheese we bought to take home with us wasn't overpriced and so often it can be in places like this, and it tasted great. They also have a small cafe with drinks and home made cakes, very yummy! We will definately return next time we are in the area.

This was a worthwhile and interesting place to visit. The Cheese farm was a long way down winding…read morelanes and we were not convinced we were going the right way. We did not expect to pull into a small farmyard. The cheese shop was up some stone stairs. You can watch the cheese making process through a glass viewing gallelry inside the cheese shop. Although we couldnt speak to the cheesemakers it was quite clear what they were doing and the lady in the shop added some bits of information. There was plenty of opportunity to taste the different cheeses and we did not feel awkward tasting all of them. There was no hard sell but the cheese was so delicious that there was no hesitation in buying some to take away. Prince Charles has visited and recommends them highly. They continue to win prizes at the Royal Welsh Show. There is a small tea room where whilst having a drink you can watch a dvd of the cheese making process and learn all about it.

Intentionally misunderstood us and couldn't seem to answer any questions about the cheese she sells. It left us wondering if she was ignorant to her own business or just racist.

I went here recently to pick up some BBQ items some sausages & burgers. The quality of the meat is…read moretop notch and they have a wide variety of flavoured sausages and beef burgers. The taste of D Prings products are truly awesome if you wanna impress people with your BBQ skills half the battles in selecting the right meat. The queues are quickly serviced so you don't have to wait long. The butchers were friendly enough and the price was very good I go there whenever I want a good BBQ selection. The best cuts are always available so if you want it just ask, they'll come back with a great steak. I had 8 1/4 pounders and 12 sausages for just over £5 that's great value for money.

Ahhh, butchers. It takes me back to shopping trips with my grandmother, these places do. There'd be…read morea monumental trek up Cathedral Road that would seem to take weeks, but knowing my grandmother's hatred for physical exertion, probably only took an hour or so. We'd maybe stop into a cafe for egg and chips and my nan would, of course, know the owner. We'd go to a couple of pound shops. Not to look about, mind you. But because my nan wanted very specific things from there. And then, before heading to the bus stop, we'd go to the butchers "to pick up something for our tea". That was the routine. And now that I'm an adult myself, I can't help but smile whenever I dive in to grab a steak "for my tea". Of course, that smile also comes from the fact that in this particular butcher, it's not uncommon to see the meat cut right in front of you if you go at the right time of the day. There's something visceral and satisfying about watching your food being sliced up right in front of you. It's like being primal by proxy. And the prices on top of this... they're just the greatest thing ever. Buying a steak big enough to beat a man to death with for pocket change gives an immense amount of satisfaction. And then heading back to the cave with a hunk of meat over your shoulder? You feel like a hunter. What's not to love?
