Our Christmas orders are now closed. You can still buy our Cheese Subscriptions to start in January, as well as book our courses and tasting events. If you want to purchase vouchers you can do so until the 20th December but please note that it can take up to 48 hours for the vouchers to be emailed to you as we process these manually.
We have a full counter of cheese in our shop in Pangbourne so you can still come in and purchase items in store
Our Pangbourne shop will be closed for the day on Monday 23rd March as we’re having new display fridges installed.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.

I must apologise that it’s been a while since my last update. To be honest the last few weeks have been the most stressful times that Ali and I have experienced since we took over the shop. The situation seems to change daily but we all seem to have settled into a new ‘normal’. The […]
I often get asked for a recipe for a Traditional Swiss Fondue so I thought I would post my favourite one. This is a really classic version and feeds between 4 – 6 people depending on how greedy your friends are. You can substitute in different cheeses and also add in brandy, worcestershire sauce… Whatever […]
What is Tartiflette? It is a fabulous dish originally made in the Alps and involves potatoes, bacon, onions and Reblochon PDO! The name is thought to come from tartiflâ, which is the Arpitan word for potato. Arpitan is a dialect spoken on the borders between east France and west Switzerland. The recipe for this glorious […]
Happy New Year to one and all 🙂 Thank you to all of our customers who bought their Christmas cheese from us. It was incredibly busy but (from our point of view) things went smoothly. We had a lovely quiet Christmas Day that consisted of seeing family and spending time walking our dogs. We barely […]
Christmas is just around the corner and we are gearing up for our busiest few weeks of the year. Our pre-orders have been open for a few weeks and they give us a bit of a guide as to the quantity of cheese we need to have in stock. It’s always a bit nerve wracking […]
I took up running a few years ago as a way to keep fit. I’d never really been into running – I was a javelin thrower in an earlier lifetime which involved a 20 metre run up and the furthest I had to run in training was 100m – but so many people told me […]
Wow – I can’t really believe that today is our 4 year anniversary. Some days it feels like we’ve been here forever but a lot of the time I feel like I started working here last week. Pangbourne is such a wonderfully, friendly place. I really love coming into work everyday. We are so lucky […]
I often get asked for my perfect Christmas cheeseboard so I thought I would share some ideas. We are hugely lucky here in Pangbourne in that we have some amazing cheesemakers all within 10 miles of the shop. It is therefore possible to do an amazing local cheeseboard consisting of Berkshire and Oxfordshire cheeses. So […]
It has been an incredibly busy summer here in Pangbourne but the kids are now back at school and we’ve had a chance to catch our breaths! Usually August is a bit of a quieter month but this year seems to have bucked all previous trends and we have had loads of visitors to the […]
