    I had the cheese tour bought for a birthday surprise. Steve was very knowledgeable about all things cheese and made it fun along the way. Lot's of cheesy jokes! The amount of work, science and hygiene that goes into making the delicious cheese was mind blowing. Obviously the cheese tasting at the end was the cream on top of the day. I've discovered I prefer sheep milk made cheese. Faves's of the day in order Brighton Ewe, Seven Sisters, St Giles Velvet. Highly recommend

    A very enjoyable tour, and a great tasting. Steve the tour guide was passionate and knowledgable about his subject, and made the time fly as we toured the various stages of the process. The place was exceptionally clean. We now have a better understanding about the differences between cow , sheep and goats cheeses., and an appreciation of the dedication of the artisan cheese makers.
