grate Newcastle — Local services in Newcastle upon Tyne

I agree with the other reviewers that this is an excellent cheese shop. But when I went this morning I was not at all happy with the service. Firstly I noticed the person who served me (not Moz who wasn’t in the shop) biting her nails and then sneezing into her hand.

I should have refused there and then to take my order but I think my don’t complain Britishness took over.

I’ve now to decide whether to ditch the cheese or just use it in cooking.

Hands down the best shop in the north east of England. Located in the vibrant heart of a middle class neighbourhood, Grate provides top level cheese, nibbles and breads to an eclectic clientele.

Payment can be made in a variety of ways adding to the convenience. There are good things in life - music, film and beers - and then there is cheese....
