The Cheese Room at the Alnwick Deli — Restaurant in England

Beautiful selection of cheese. Unfortunately the shopkeeper that served me didn't offer any advice on the cheese's, apart from pointing out the ones at one side of the viewing fridge were more local than the other. He offered no tastings either, so really we just purchased by how it looked and guesswork!. In the past, I was owner of a cheese shop in the Yorkshire dales, always enthusiastic on my explanation of the cheeses, and always offered freebie tastings to help the customer decision.

A fantastic place visit for cheese. Two cabinets, one with the normal(ish) cheese and one with local cheese.

What an amazing find. A wonderful selection of local and foreign cheeses and accompaniments, also local honey, jams, cakes and scones.

This place is up for sale and I really hope they find another cheesemonger who wants to take over the business. They also have an alcohol license so we had a red wine to go with our cheese. I would highly recommend....
