One of Britain’s 10 Best Cheese Shops
The Times, 3 July 2010

The Town Mill Cheesemonger offers a splendid array of the best of West Country cheeses, with particular emphasis on Dorset and Devon. There are some truly wonderful and creative cheese-makers working in this region and it's no longer 'just Cheddar'. From the Sharpham Estate to The Windswept Cow and from Ford Farm to Woolsery come cheeses that represent the richness and diversity of the area's food.

Also in stock are fine territorial and artisan cheeses from elsewhere in the UK - Wensleydale from the Dale itself, Blue Monday, Caerphilly and  Colston Basset Stilton (of course), amongst many more.

The continental classics feature here too - real Parmesan, Brie de Meaux, cave aged Gruyere, Manchego (and Membrillo!), Picos Blue Valdeon ..... the list goes on. In fact, the Town Mill Cheesemonger carries about 100 varieties of cheese, together with biscuits and preserves to bring out their best flavours.

In addition to cheese, Clotted Cream, handmade Butter and about 20 kinds of biscuit and cracker  are all on hand. Olives and our antipasti mean that a complete meal can be picked up for an outing to the beach. The Cheesemonger's bespoke insulated cool-bags and ice packs mean that purchases remain in perfect condition even after a lengthy car journey.

 There are drinks too. Cool bottled water, Luscombe's juices and delightful Fruit Cordials from Yarty Valley.

A fine array of handmade cheese boards and cheese knife sets make great gifts, as do the gift vouchers available from the shop.

To finish, treat yourself to some of the shop's fabulous range of West Country-made ice cream and sorbets from Mendip Moments , served by the scoop, in a cone or a cup. Mendip Moments was a Gold Award winner in the 2009 Taste of the West Awards.
