About the Cheese & Friends Team

Our locally renowned cheese shop at Ecclesall-Sheffield, has been serving the local community with a wide range of British cheese and accompaniments since 1985

Supporting British Farmhouse and Artisan Cheese Industry.

It is our Cheese that is the star of the show, a significant proportion made on the farm, many using raw milk, showing the skill, passion and dedication of the cheesemaker.

The sustainability of British Farmhouse cheese industry is at a critical time and it is important that small scale artisan producers are maintained. Cheese making has an integrated heritage of terroir, nature, farm animals and their milk and the craft of the cheesemaker.
