The Cheese Trader in York

Vinimos a almorzar tarde y compartimos un camembert entre los dos. Absolutamente delicioso, el chutney con el que se sirvió fue genial, y las cebollas crujientes fueron increíblemente bien. Fantástica selección de queso para comprar (algunos que nunca he visto antes) , para las personas que buscan hacer más que tomar un bocado para comer, y nos encantó la decoración - especialmente los giros divertidos de los propietarios en las pinturas tradicionales! El dueño de la tienda era increíblemente amable y acogedor. Sin duda volveremos cuando volvamos a York, y recomendaremos este lugar a cualquiera que conozcamos que se dirija hacia aquí. ¡Gracias!

Una experiencia encantadora. Llegamos con algunos niños pequeños y nos recibieron con una cálida bienvenida encantadora. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio era maravilloso. Teníamos patatas fritas sucias y eran increíbles. Sin duda volveremos.

Me encantó esta pequeña tienda! Nos atrajo el increíble olor de los bollos de queso fresco. Haré una parada regular para un arreglo de queso cada vez que visite York ahora! Servicio bien informado y amable. 10 / 10 . ¡Nom nom! 😋

The best elevated grilled cheese ('posh toast') in England! Great cheese shop too. Excellent lunch, affordable, friendly, quiet location.

We found this place by accident. We wanted to put together a box of English cheeses for German friends. Nothing was too much trouble. We were given advice and help and I think the end result will be much appreciated. What a find this shop is. Will definitely return and can recommend to others.

The best posh grilled cheese in Yorkshire, possibly the world. Stu is a cheese expert and excellent cook. Very knowledgeable about cheese and he carry's Shepard's Purse, Mrs. Bell's Blue, the best sheep's blue cheese on earth too, a perfect combination.

My partner saw The Cheese Trader recommended on an online advert (specifically the loaded fries!) so we decided to pop in for lunch before the drive back down to Oxford, very glad we did! Loaded fries with Camembert, salami and chorizo was amazing, my partner had a toastie with truffle Gouda and spring onions which she also thoroughly enjoyed. Add a very warm welcome and indoor/outdoor seating to this and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for some lunch in York, whatever the weather! Good selection of cheeses for purchase also!

The cheese trader is located on a charming shopping street and was recommended by our private tour guide. She took us in there, and the gentleman offered us tastings of different cheeses, including the special cheese at Christmas time called Yorkshire Wensleydale, a creamy and crumbly cheese only produced in York. We also tasted a Charcoal, cheddar cheese, which was outstanding. Make sure to put this on your list of things to do in York.

It would be almost criminal not to recommend the Cheese Trader to people. I messaged a few weeks back explaining that I'm autistic and highly anxious but wanted to try the loaded fries, and the replier was just so kind and polite in their response. I went in today, Thursday 7th December 2023. I met with the lovely Stu who made me feel so welcome and at ease. Holy moly guys, WOW. These fries are that intense, that delicious, just incredible... a true Harry Met Sally moment, those fries were a truly mind-blowing experience. Stu was kind enough to let me stay a few minutes past closing so I could eat my food in the dry, for which I am OTT grateful for. The shop itself was really nice, I was feeling sooooo anxious about going in! I have coeliac disease, so adhere to a gluten free lifestyle, Stu wiped down the sides, explained the fact their chip fryer and chips are gluten free, and so are the toppings. I will absolutely be returning here, and especially for my birthday treat in February! Thank you for making my day extra special!

Absolutely fabulous. We had posh cheese on toast … decadent and so tasty. All the flavours complimented each other wonderfully. The owner is so knowledgeable about his produce and able to advise. A well deserved 10/10. We will be back 👍

Absolutely fantastic little hidden gem in York. A must for any cheese fan! Super clued up on allergens and cross contamination. The owner was incredibly friendly but not in a pushy way. He knew immediately which cheeses were not safe for coeliacs in the display fridge and could tell me why. The street food options of Halloumi fries & dirty fries were gluten free with a dedicated gluten free fryer. I went for Camembert dirty fries with sundried tomato & chilli - absolutely delicious!!! My husband had the Cheddar, Salami & Chorizo which he thoroughly enjoyed. We are planning to visit York again just to come here!!

Excellent experience at this wonderful quirky establishment, well worth a visit, especially if you love a bit of fancy cheese on toast! Try it with blue cheese, simply immense!

Visited The Cheese Trader whilst on holiday and wow, what a fabulous experience. Stu was incredibly warm and friendly and really made us feel welcome. We sampled an array of his Streetfood and were amazed by how delicious it was. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Absolutely fabulous streetfood: cheesy ciabatta plus loaded dirty fries & halloumi fries & drinks for under £15 a head. No limit on toppings either. Totally gorgeous lunch. A hidden gem that deserves a wider audience.

Best cheese and banter in York. Excellent little shop with a fantastic selection of unique and local cheese. The chap that owns it is so incredibly knowledgeable and fun. Could have stayed all day.

Wonderful little cheese shop with delicious cheese inspired meals. You must try the Halloumi fries or the loaded fries with cheddar and salami.

Stopped in for a couple of sandwiches and halloumi fries for a snack whilst visiting York. Great toasties, lots of variety of cheeses and toppings and very friendly service. Kids loved it too.
