We are a family-run delicatessen based in the North East, founded by a husband and wife team with a shared passion for exceptional food and genuine hospitality. With over 20 years' experience each in high-end hospitality, including five-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, we bring a deep understanding of quality, flavour, and service to everything we do. Every product we stock has been carefully selected using the same standards we built our careers on.
We specialise in artisan cheeses, charcuterie, handpicked wines, and fine foods, alongside bespoke catering for events of all sizes. Supporting small producers, championing traditional methods, and offering food with real character, we’re here to provide not just great food, but a warm, personal experience every time you visit.
As a general guide, we recommend allowing 70–120g of cheese per person, depending on how it will be served.
- 70g per person is
usually enough when cheese is served after a large meal or as part of a buffet spread. - 100–120g per person is
ideal when cheese is the main feature of the meal, especially for guests with a healthy appetite or a real love of cheese.
For smaller gatherings, large selections can sometimes make individual portions appear quite small. In these cases, choosing fewer cheeses or even a single standout cheese can create a more generous and impressive presentation.
If you’d still like to offer a wider variety, simply increase the portion sizes slightly and enjoy any leftovers the next day.
