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.

The Cheshire Cheese Company has finally made it to City Centre! I've been a fan of their cheeses…read morefor quite some time, but always had to make the trek to the Trafford Centre to get a taste, or order online. Now they've got a setup smack dab in the middle of the Arndale, and I couldn't be happier - though I'm certain my midsection is going to get puffy fast. I can never resist buying in bulk to get a bit of a discount, and usually go for the spicier varieties. My favourites are: El Gringo Chili Lime & Tequila; Caramelised Rioja & Onion Cheddar; Jamaican Jerk Spicy Gourmet Cheddar; and the classic Black Bob Extra Mature Cheddar. Those are just the standards for me, but there's always something new to keep you coming back for more. They come out with new flavours on a monthly basis, and with about 12-18 cheeses available to taste test, you're bound to find something you love. They've also got a large selection of wines and chutneys to pair with the cheeses you get. I've had some tastings of the chutneys and they're quite flavourful, but the cheese is what keeps bringing me back for more. If you see me walking out of here with 5 wheels of cheese, just try not to judge me...and help me find some crackers.

Wow, I love this place!…read more If you're into the 'deli life' of fine cheeses, wine, gourmet chutneys, crackers and all things treat-wise then this place should be somewhere you need to hit if you're in the Hebden Bridge area. We popped in twice while holidaying around here for 3 days and bought some lovely picky items to enjoy a home picnic. The cheese was excellent and with Camembert and Old Amsterdam served perfectly ripe and ready to dive in to! The wine selection is really impressive and don't miss out on the olives too - the chilli ones have a real kick but really hit the spot. Get there early as well so as you can get bread, we were lucky enough to get a couple of ciabatta rolls on the last visit, very tasty! Not the cheapest place on the planet but perfect for a little treat or to live the 'dolce vita' as often as possible!

To complement your cheese a full range of crackers and biscuits are stocked as well as various pickles and chutneys.

In what looks like a newly built court yard with a bakery and a brewery this cheese shop really brings a modern touch to the village of Cartmel. We only found out about this shop after paying in the carpark and getting a little ticket from the machine that says see the noticeboard for this months offers with this voucher. Where's the noticeboard? Nowhere, but there is a man in the little ice cream hut in the car park who knows what the offers are. £1 off a £10 shop in the cheese shop. WHAT CHEESE SHOP? The hunt is on.... Found it.... and it's amazing!! I think the best thing about this shop (apart from it bring 14degree inside and a million degrees outside) are the little hand written tags on all the cheeses saying who made them - the actual name of the person not just the farm, where it is made, the type of cheese and what kind of rennet, so easy for a veggie to pick from. The man who served us, Harry, was very knowledgeable about all the cheeses and we listened to him serving other customers while we decided what to buy. There were many other customers! A lovely little busy shop. We eventually decided on the most local Cheese made 2 miles away called Saint John (a smelly cheese similar to stinking bishop), the best goats cheese i have ever tasted called Prospect, a Red Leicester and a smelly blue. We ate them all with a load of fresh bread from the bakehouse next door....

Don't get frightened by the rated 3£ price, as cheese usually won't be cheap anywhere, it is quite reasonable compared to the ones in LONDON. BTW, cake there is tasty, it's a pity that we didn't buy more.

Our first introduction to Lakeland Groceries involved giant bags of Barbecue Doritos for less than a quid, and huge quantities of eggs at criminally low prices (free range before you start finger-wagging!). Wow, where had this place been all our lives? Situated right near Castlefield Gallery, it seems to be operated by one or two friendly staff, and it's a lovely hotch-potch corner-shop-like offering with a surprising range of products. Anything from a stonkingly generous variety of cheeses to pretty much a whole deli counter, snacks and store cupboard essentials and bits and bobs. You can even buy a bit of booze here if you've had a hard day at the office. So, The Southern Gateway eh. Sarah-Anne M's right, this residential area doesn't have a single recognisable retail outlet less than a ten minute walk away. Well forget hopping all the way to Whitworth Street West's Sainsbury's and Oxford Road's Tesco for your essentials and forgottens, if you're in need of a bit of milk, juice or even some cold cuts and nibbles to lay out for guests, here's your spot!

Walking upstairs we had luckily booked a table. It was chaotic ,full of screaming kids playing frisbee with the saucers and knocking teacups off the table. Cautiously I sat down avoiding this kid with sticky mitts behind me. The waitress came swiftly to take our order. The menu consists of some indulgent £4 hot chocs, cakes, sandwiches and well.. chocolate. I did consider the chilli but for 12 quid you can purchase a tea for one. This combined a hot choc/ drink of your choice, toasted sandwich , scone and some chocolate. I chose the ameretto white hot chocolate which turned out quite sickly. Then eventually the food arrived. Most of us had selected tuna melt or ham and cheese apart from one veggie.. so when the tuna arrived dripping all over the veggie sandwich she was not amused. We got this swapped. The tiered trays were intimidating so I just ate half a sandwich to make room for the scone and chocolate. The scone was nice the choclate was too experimental and sweet for me.. especially the honey choc. Also i Never saw any waitresses again..it was like tetris trying to balance all the plates and I really needed a drink . The noise level was high and the decor was that of a soup kitchen.. In the end we just went downstairs to pay. Needless to say I won't be back. I do what to try the Mousetrap instead?
