Artisan and local cheeses for WeSt Berkshire and North Hampshire
Based in Newbury UK
Hi, I'm Tony and I sell cheeses at local village markets in West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
With the closure of all the independent delis in Newbury and Hungerford there's still a place to get artisan and local cheeses, either by visiting the markets or contacting me on-line.
I am very much a "hobbyist" business, doing this for the love of the product and the people who produce such great cheeses and as such work at a scale that I'm happy with, giving great customer service without it taking over my life.

UPDATE 28/04/26: Spring / Summer markets:
My next market is at Woolton Hill on Saturday 30th May - Thorngrove School, RG20 9PS from 10am to 1pm.
As I have several plans for breaks in the summer the schedule is currently incomplete for the rest of the summer, but will slowly come together as I get things booked.
My Newbury/Woolton Hill and Kingsclere Cheese Club will be operating throughout the year on a monthly and bi-weekly basis.
If you're interested in joining use the contact page.
Here's what Cheese Club is all about:
The Cheese Club runs on a monthly basis, but members can also sign up for a fortnightly depending on their requirements. Members can opt for a 4 cheese delivery (£17.00) or 3 cheese one (£14.00). You get 120g - 200g for each cheese, so a delivery can be fairly sizeable in weight.
I select a blue, brie, cheddar and guest cheese each time - most cheeses are British, some are very artisan, whilst some bries and cheddars appear regularly. If you don't want a particular type of cheese that's also fine - I have members who don't do blue, brie, animal rennet, goats, etc and provide substitutes each time.
I generally do the delivery on Wednesday afternoon after I get the order from my suppliers, though occasionally I have to move it to Thursday. I tend to go out around 3-4pm and tend to cover the Woolton Hill first. I send out an email with a description list of the week's offering and this is the signal to say I'm on the road heading out. Most customers have porches so if you are out I can leave the delivery in a suitable location or hanging on a door knocker.
Payment is done via bank transfer after each delivery.
I give plenty of warning if I'm away and need to move the delivery and likewise members tell me when they are away so I can miss them off a run.
