We enjoy the cheeses we bought on the two occasions we visited this shop, however, on both occasions we found the service unfriendly and offputting. This is a shame given the efforts given the efforts made by the cheesemakers themselves. Sadly, hard to recommend under the circumstances.

The best cheese shop in the world. It’s lovely to see a local shop supporting local cheese makers. There is a huge variety and a great selection of sheep and goats cheeses too.
Bex is fantastic, attentive and a real expert at making sure you leave with the perfect selection.
The celebration cheese cakes are incredible and I cannot wait for the cheese fair in August!!

Unfortunately the shopping experience here is unlikely to change as they clearly don’t check their reviews. Yes, we agreed the cheese was good and we would have gone back to buy plenty more as we were in the area for some time. But when the whole experience is spoilt by quite the most rude staff I have ever come across, you don’t really feel like giving them any more of your money. No prices on anything so you have to keep asking. Clearly the quality of the cheese is keeping this place going, but in this day and age, they should also be considering their attitude towards the customer.

Fantastic cheese shop, great range of local cheeses, friendly and helpful informative staff. Taste before you buy.
Also great range of chutneys including the great Devon Fire. Also soft drinks.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

Came through Tavistock on our way home after staying two weeks in Devon. Stopped off to look around. This cheese shop is small and hidden away just outside the old market but it is the best selection we have come across even in major centres. Unpushy very helpful and informed staff who let us try several cheeses before we came away laden with six excellent cheeses. A mix of hard and soft all but one from Devon and Cornwall. Reasonably priced. Perfect condition. Tavistock is very lucky to have this shop.

Manage to come through Tavistock about once a month and whenever I can I call into the lovely area around the outside of the Pannier Market to call in here where careful selections can result in enough chess for immediate delights and some others that last for a few weeks if thoughtfully kept. Even if you think a specialist cheese shop is sad or geeky, just drop in here briefly and think about giving your taste buds a good time.

Love coming here when in Devon. Smallish but very well stocked regional cheese selection. Full information and samples to taste. Interesting that the servers are always women. Been using this shop for very many years. Never had a disappointing experience,either in the shop or with the cheese later. Fair pricing. Friendly too.

Huge selection very well kept and displayed. Taste what you like. All in perfect condition. It's another of those wonderful places where you can tell them why you want or need it and leave the staff to get on with it. Lucky Tavistock.
