Category Archives: This Week

Our cheese this week is a Crumbly Lancashire, which is sold young (2-6 weeks old) and is characterised by being bright-white, very crumbly, sharp and fresh in flavour. Crumbly Lancashire is a relative newcomer compared to the Creamy or Tasty Lancashire cheese. It was the demand for a younger and a less expensive cheese which resulted in the production of Crumbly Lancashire cheese some 50 years ago. This is definitely one of our best sellers and possibly the best Lancashire cheese we have tasted.

Our new potato cakes have been very popular, made for us by All Things Nice in Marple, these are the most authentic potato cakes we have ever tried. They are a substantial size £1.10 each and you can add to your order from Wednesdays onwards.

Our very popular artisan bread will be available from Wednesday onwards. we will have white and seeded sourdough, white and wholemeal cob available every Wednesday and Thursday, Friday and Saturdays we will also have focaccia and French sticks, our bread can sell out very quickly to make sure you aren’t disappointed send us a message or phone the shop on 01457 852456 and we will make sure we save one for you. Bread always seems to be the first thing that people cut out of their diets when trying to cut down, but sourdough not only delivers a tangy flavour that’s perfect for toast and sandwiches, it is good for you, too! The fermentation process for sourdough bread can lead to an increased number of prebiotic and probiotic-like properties, which help improve gut health. It freezes exceptionally well so you won’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf.
