New on the shelf: smoked Taw Valley cheddar from Smokey Sam’s Smokehouse 🔥

We’re keeping things super local with Sam’s base in Holsworthy. He started smoking things for fun, and now he’s turned it up a notch — the smoking process involves oak chippings, eight hours, low and slow.

The result is all the smooth, creamy richness of Taw Valley cheddar, plus a natural smoke running through it.

Come and try it 🧀🔥

We’ve got another fantastic local producer on our shelves!

Say hello to Schniffells Exmoor Elixir Exmoor Elixir – a botanical cordial infusion handcrafted on Exmoor with natural ingredients including ginger, turmeric, Exmoor honey, lemon and apple cider vinegar.

We’re proud to be their exclusive Barnstaple stockist, and even happier to be working with such a genuinely nice local producer.

What a day! A fantastic day at Academy of Cheese Affineur of the Year 2026 competition yesterday.

My first competition and one I was slightly nervous about, but it was a truly inspiring event with so many amazing cheesemakers and mongers displaying their affinage skills and celebrating this incredible industry.

Picking up the People’s Choice Award for my smoked hay-infused mead-washed Quicke's Cheddar really did top off an incredible day. This job never gets boring!

Shout-out to Simon and James The Courtyard Dairy on picking up the big win, thoroughly deserved!

2 of our favourite things.

We’ve noticed an increase in people asking if we do wine and cheese events. We’re inclined to make it happen - but before we do, it’d be useful to know…. Who’s in? Let us know in the comments below.

Part 2 of wedding cheesecake fun.

Cheesemonger by day, groomsman and Cheesemonger by night.

A delicious cheesecake for 2 very good humans. We chose a balance of creamy, strong, soft and aged so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re looking for a wedding cheesecake, get in touch — we’d love to talk you through a selection to suit. We can’t guarantee the cheesemonger will arrive dressed for the occasion, but the selection will be just as considered 😆

Shout out to for the flowers and Patrick at for supplying the selection.
