Cheese Tasting with Margaretha
It’s been another very busy month here in the shop with all sorts of new products and events going on. It always amazes me when I sit down (or stand as I am today) to update my blog that such a long time has passed since my last post. There quite simply aren’t enough hours […]
Getting Ready for Easter Cheeseboards
It’s been a little while since my last post but things here in Pangbourne are are as lovely as ever. Easter is generally a busy time of year for us and this year has been no exception. We’ve been filling the counter and the shop with loads of goodies and it’s all looking really fab! […]
First Cheese Blog of the Year
Things have been as hectic as ever in the cheese world and so I’m only just finding time to write my first blog of 2018. As ever January is a time when we reflect on the year that has gone and make notes on what we need to improve upon. Ali and I always try […]

Cheese Counter of the Year Winners!
What can I say about this week at work? Ali and I attended the World Cheese Awards last weekend – they were being held in London at Tobacco Dock. The venue was incredible, just an amazing use of an old building and it had been renovated to an incredible standard. We were there to help […]

2 Year Anniversary
Last Saturday was our two year anniversary here in the shop. It’s been the most amazing couple of years and we have truly loved every minute of it. The shop has evolved since we took over as we’ve slowly made it our own. Some bits have taken longer than others and the re-branding (which has […]

It’s been so manically busy here that the last couple of months have absolutely flown by! Things in lovely Pangbourne are as hectic as ever with new produce coming in and a whole new image for the shop 🙂 We’ve re-branded which has meant new everything from business cards right up to a new sign outside.

Yummy Oxfordshire Goats’ Milk Cheeses
This week has been a hugely busy one in the shop, which is great but has meant I’m a few days late on my blogging… Ali and I spent an evening presenting a French cheese tasting evening at one of our local schools. This was our first tasting event so it was a bit nerve […]
