British and Conitinental Cheeses
We stock over 100 different cheeses from the both the UK and the Continent. We constantly taste our cheeses to check that they are at their very best when offered to our customers - quality is our watchword.
As well as staple classics such as Cheddar, Stilton and Brie, we always try to have a variety of new cheeses to excite our customers. More new cheeses are currently being developed in the UK than across the rest of Europe. This has been driven by the need for dairy farmers to add value to their product since the price offered for milk has dropped so drastically. We sell a range of delicious, very local cheeses such as Barkham Blue, Wigmore, Waterloo and Spenwood – and many others from across the South of England.
The recent addition of our own, specially selected Grey’s Unpasteurised Farmhouse Cheddar is a huge hit with our customers and is fast becoming our biggest seller. Due to increasing customer demand, we now offer a large selection of goats’ and sheep’s milk cheeses.
Charcuterie
Our charcuterie counter is filled with the most delicious salamis and cured meats from Italy, France and Spain. Many of our Italian meats are supplied by the same importer who supplies Gordon Ramsay and The River Café and our main Spanish supplier is the holder of many “Fine Taste” awards.
In our counter you will find the best Finnochiona (salami with fennel seeds) from Italy, the finest Jamon Iberico (cured ham from little black pigs fed only on acorns) from Spain and delicious Fuseau saucisson from France.
Continental Wines
Our wines are chosen for us by a local wine specialist whose knowledge and network of small family owned vineyards and wine producers across France, Italy, Spain and Portugal enables him to provide wonderful wines not found on the supermarket shelves.
Home Made Goodies
As well as delicious cakes, breads, pates etc. cooked by Lizzy's Kitchen, we also prepare olives to our own special recipes, Kalamatas (Greek black) and Manzanillas (Spanish green) marinated in extra virgin olive oil.
We roast cashew nuts - some spicy, chilli flavoured, and some just seasoned with herbs, salt and pepper. We produce "Grey's Grenades" - hot and spicy Pickled Onions and Chilli Pickle both of which are gaining quite a following. Wonderful home-made Piccallili and Chutneys are seasonably available and "Lizzy's Amazing Luxury Mincemeat" will be available for those special Christmas recipes.
