First place next year…….
Ali and I are so please to announce that the Pangbourne Cheese Shop has won 3rd Place in the Cheese Counter of the Year Awards 2016, sponsored by Le Gruyere AOP and judged by The Guild of Fine Foods.
This is an amazing result in our first year of owning the cheese shop. I personally am just so proud of the team as they have all worked incredibly hard over the past 12 months to improve the quality and range of cheese that we offer our customers. We have a close relationship with our cheesemakers, collecting many of their cheeses from the farm gate so that we can offer our customers a direct link to the producer. We are passionate about selling great cheese and have applied this philosophy to our other goods too, whether it is fantastic British charcuterie and pates or home-made chutneys and cakes.
Whilst there has been a cheese shop in Pangbourne for 11 years Ali and I bought the business last year and have slowly begun a transformation to try and turn it into a top class independent retailer. We are only a short drive from Newbury and Reading and now customers are seeking it out from further afield too which is just so excitingly gratifying. It is a real gem where you can try most cheeses before you buy and then construct a perfect cheese board. Whether our customers want a slither of cheese for a picnic, a magnificent cheese tower for a party or a gift box made to order, we try our absolute best to satisfy their needs.
