The Cheeseboard in Harrogate

Vast array of cheeses. Happy for you to taste to help choose. Well informed and helpful staff.

Brilliant selection of cheeses and accompaniments. The staff really couldn’t have been more helpful and helped us select a variety of cheeses for a family picnic tea. All were absolutely delicious and will definitely be purchasing again.

A good little cheese shop with a wide selection of cheeses, specialising in British cheese, including some local ones. The staff who served us was very knowledgable and provided us with an insight into local cheese.

I paid by cash and was shortchanged. Never again.

I paid by cash and was shortchanged. When I told the member of staff their attitude was surly and dismissive.

Selection is ok, not spectacular. As usual, many cheddar and blue cheese options but few of the rest. The person who assisted me was not particularly engaging. The Irish cheese that I bought following my own instincts was awesome.

Cheesy heaven, just the smell of this place should require an entrance fee. Knowledgable staff who spend the time to help you choose from the generous selection of cheeses. They also stock pickles, relishes, crackers, cheese boards and other related foodstuffs.

Lovely people, great choices, super service, we’ll recommend the cheeseboard

They know their cheese. Many from around Europe, not just England.

Great friendly service a d a great selection of cheeses

Amazing selection of cheeses and chutneys. But after paying I saw that they sell foie gras which I cannot condone, hence 3/5. And sadly, won't go again.

Great cheese at The Cheeseboard shop all year round, we also did the beer and cheese night 30th June 2022 with Roosters it was awesome, loads of great cheese and beer, well worth the money!

Unfortunately I wasnt overly impressed with the cheese bought. The staff themselves are very friendly and highly knowledgeable but for me this Christmas the cheese selection just didn't hit the mark for me. Maybe a miss understanding with regards to the requirement and maybe down to my own fault for not sampling before buying. The Rabbit pate on the other hand really wasn't to our taste which was a shame.

I bought some cheese from this shop when it first opened 🤔 40 years ago! The service today was brilliant. And the smell in the shop 😋

Just ordered a 3 month cheese subscription for my son in law for Christmas. Person I spoke to was very helpful.

The Cheeseboard provided a tied cheese cake for our wedding in September. They were easy to liaise with throughout. Knowledgable on both taste and appearance. We had many compliments on how tasty the cheese was. Would definitely recommend.

By a considerable distance the most interesting outlet on Commercial Street selling a fine range of interesting cheeses.

Wo fearful specialist cheese shop selling a wide range of cheese and accompaniements. Knowledgeable an helpful staff makes ut a pleasure to visit.

Great cheese and a good range was able to get some been wanting to try for a while. No wheelchair access but staff will come to door to serve you

So good to have a local cheesemonger with a fantastic selection 👌

I received a lovely surprise cheeseboard box with a beautiful and delicious selection of cheeses! Would 100% recommend! :)

So looking for a little gift for my nephew and his wife. They love cheese! Ordered them a cheese selection from the Cheeseboard to cheer them up. Emailed this morning. Response from Gemma almost immediately. Ordered, paid for and being delivered this afternoon. Impressed? Hugely! Responsive, professional, efficient, personalised service. Thank you! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟plus!

Excellent service! Beautiful Christmas box delivered this morning.

Lovely staff and excellent service. Plus yummy cheese!

They are clients of mine but I think it says enough about them that everytime I go I buy a haul of cheese. Gemma is so knowledgeable about all the cheeses that I can only highly recommend that any cheese fanatic goes and gives them a try!

Love this place it's our first stop when we come to Harrogate

Very friendly, great choice of cheeses. Loved the painted mouse on skirting board wearing a mask - cute.

A lovely little cheese shop in the heart of Harrogate with a great selection of Cheeses.

Great selection of local and other cheeses, and other goodies.

Best place to get cheese and affordable!!

Amazing selection of cheeses and friendly staff

I've always shopped here and they have been fantastic during lockdown delivering their cheese which has been a real treat! They've been great at making suggestions and I've tried some lovely new cheeses. A lovely little shop :)

Superb little cheese shop, with a fantastic range of local, regional and European cheeses. Staff incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly providing great advice. Great range of high quality biscuits and chutneys etc, and lovely gift baskets. We’ve also had cheeses specially vacuum packed (in the shop) to take as a gift to my Yorkshire family living overseas.

Nice cheese deli very knowledgeable staff and free sample of cheesyness :-)

This place is to die for. A cheese based heaven, who's sublime contents are incredibly bad for my waist line and wallet. Not to be missed by any serious cheese lover.

Simply the best shop in Harrogate.

A very fine cheese shop, and you can taste the wares, but this isn't a restaurant. it doesn't belong in these listings. So beware if you're setting off here hoping for a repast.

I remember this place opening in 1981 and what a joy it was to be able to buy cheese at its best and have access to such knowledge from the owners. I'm not sure whether the owners still work in the store but in any case, the staff are certainly as knowledgeable now. An absolute pleasure to source cheese here, make it a part of your visit to Harrogate as we did. Check out their website, you will not be disappointed.

Fabulous selection of cheeses and absolutely love the Rhuby crumble cheese, Wensleydale with rhubarb.

We happened upon this little shop whilst perusing Harrogate and brought a selection of Cheeses to take to family that evening. The two ladies working were fantastic in helping us choose a lovely Brie with Truffle, Smoked Cheddar and a strong Blue. With a little taster of each we were soon agreed and the three cheeses were nicely wrapped up in paper.Our hosts loved them that evening and being local themselves have plans to pop in and see the array on offer for themselves.

We were visiting Harrogate recently and happened upon the Cheeseboard while out exploring the city. Wonderful selection of cheeses as well as condiments to serve with cheese. Outstanding extra sharp cheeses!

Came here for a gift to send to a friend in America, and have to say the people working there were top class.. Helped me with my individual needs and very friendly and professional service.. Also helped me with packaging, make sure the product was air tight and helped me with brilliant selections. Amazing choice of cheese there too.. Definitely worth a visit.. Thank you so much

My favourite shop in Harrogate. Awesome selection of cheeses and service to die for. The owner cares and will go out of her way to make sure you get what you want. They help with recommendations and are just totally brilliant. I had my wedding cake done by these guys and am always popping in to make sure my fridge is stocked with cheeses. Highly recommended if you like cheese.

I had contacted this shop six months before our holiday and they advised they would be able to order in our favourite French cheese, St Marcellin if I gave them a few weeks notice which I did. I thorough recommend this shop for its great service and the cheese was delicious as well

Such a pleasure to visit (as Monty Python might describe) a veritable cheese emporium of the highest order. No competition, most knowledgable and helpful expertise on offer!

From hundreds of choices, we settled on 6 to try. Buttertubs is melt-in-your-mouth creamy and Coverdale has a lovely light crunchy texture.

If you love cheese this shop sells all kinds imaginable. We visit every time we are on Harrogate. Great selection and service.

Although this is a very small shop, it has an amazing range of cheeses, not only locally sourced but from further afield as well. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about each cheese and were more than happy to allow any cheese to be tasted. If you enjoy good cheeses beyond the limited fayre found in supermarkets then this is the place to visit.

Cheese, charcuterie, all the essentials to go with them, in excellent condition. Not cheap but high quality

The Cheeseboard have been my go to place for a cheese platter for years when I want a weekend treat so we were thrilled when they became a Harrogate lifestyle partner so our guests at Harrogate Lifestyle Apartments could take advantage of a 10% discount on purchases during their stay. Struggling for ideas on what gifts to take home for family and friends when you visit Harrogate or perhaps you just want to indulge in a selection of cheese and crackers in your apartment, well The Cheeseboard is a huge hit for the locals and for good reason! Just a short walk away from our serviced apartments you will find The Cheeseboard on Commercial Street. An independently run business since 1988 that boasts itself as being one of Yorkshire's finest cheese shops. The fine selection of over 200 types of speciality cheeses, a range of local chutneys, crackers and gift hampers will surely tickle your taste buds.

Very cramped with limited space, but that means there's more room for cheese. Amazing selection. When we were there a couple were arranging for a cheese wedding cake. Great idea.

Interesting small shop, selling a wide selection of less obvious, well kept cheeses. Also has other exotics, olives, continental sausage, biscuits. Well worth visiting for the less obvious cheeses. Love Mrs Kirkhams Lancashire !

Me encanta poder llegar un precioso, bien cuidado poco de queso. Mucho mejor que uno guardado en plástico. Una buena selección de quesos para elegir además de un montón de obsequios para ir con. Probé la fruta de mostaza que fui con el queso azul que compré. Una cena divertida además de fiesta, pero no todos le gustan. Algunas aceitunas y tres cerdos salami y yo era bueno para ir. Sólo una pequeña tienda pero independiente local. Me encanta la calle comercial.

A fantastic assortment of cheese , cheese biscuits and other goodies . My husband gets a present from his son every year of a voucher which he thoroughly enjoys spending

Thank you so much for your kind donation of a huge cheese to go with the Xmas cake I baked for lifeline,a charity to help the homeless in Harrogate ..incredibly kind of you,and I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Pensé que era una excelente selección de quesos si se considera el tamaño de la tienda. Realmente disfrutamos de la Wensledale!

El personal era muy servicial y el queso Junta t tienen una gran variedad de quesos y productos interesantes en frascos. Cuando tengo un queso y vino 'do' me dan el queso de aquí, con la oportunidad de probar antes de comprar, que supera las ofertas de supermercado.

Fuimos a la tienda a comprar un poco de queso y no estaba seguro de cuál comprar. Cuando llegamos había mucho para elegir, la chica que nos servía era muy servicial. La tienda es una visita obligada para todos los amantes del queso y el wensleydale compramos allí es increíble, volveré seguro que en nuestra próxima visita.

Tienda absolutamente genial poco, así que nos topamos.

Lovely little gem for cheese lovers , and the lady is lovely and informative and even offers a taster of a cheese to see if suits your pallet which most do , but made me try a goats cheese which now love

The cheeseboard has an amazing choice of cheese. I couldn't decide which I wanted but the staff were great at helping and advising what would be good for our party.10 out of 10 I will have to go back and try some new cheeses.

the largest range of cheeses i have ever seen plenty there for everyones tatse well worth a visit if you are a lover of cheese.

I love this shop so much.... every time were in harrogate we go there.... the cheese is out of this world and the staff are so very helpfull

This shop supplied my Christmas cheese board! Spent about £50 and got a wide selection of British and French cheeses. The quince paste and truffle infused honey were great to go with the cheese and the Bree was amazing.

A must for the cheese lovers! Amazing selection and locket friendly staff!!! So very helpful and welcoming. Will be back soon for more supplies!

This isn't a restaurant but a shop, and what a shop it is, if you love cheese then this is a must visit place.They have a vast selection of top quality cheeses from around the world, I find the staff incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the quality of the cheese is second to none.Of course this quality comes at a price and I mean a hefty price, it's certainly expensive but if you want quality this is what it costs.

We visited Harrogate for the weekend and ended up in this Cheese shop two days running, so impressed were we by the cheese we bought the first day. We came back the next day to buy more take home. Very impressed with one of the Swaledale and Wensleydale varieties. Service was very knowledgable and good - something of a rarity these days in the age of the Chain shops!! I like the name of the shop too.

Such a wide selection of different cheeses!!!! I'd say this is THE place to go!!! Will go here over any other chain store when I'm in need of cheese!!

A small shop hidden down a side road, but worth looking for. Lots of choice and friendly helpful staff :)

Huge selection of cheeses in such a tiny space, with friendly staff; very willing to provide tasters.Lots of local cheeses too - bit expensive, but for cheese this good we didn't mind paying it.

An amazing selection of so many cheeses has been serving customers for many years well worth a visit!!!!

The cheese selection was unbelievable. The person in the shop had an encyclopaedic knowledge of her cheeses. Tasting was offered and most appreciated. The cheeses we bought and had later were exceptional. A must for any cheese lover.

I bought two cheeses on Saturday - one brie and one mature cheddar. By lunch time the next day the brie was starting to go hard and the mature had gone off. Really disappointed considering I only got 100g of each and spent nearly £7! Customers, make sure you ask for fresh cheese!

return visit - every time i go to harrogate visit the cheeseboard - for a small shop there is an amazing selection - staff are friendly, helpful & knowledgeable - for a cheese lover it is a must - the "stinking bishop" always scares my wife (she is a Geordie & doesn't scare easily !)

Want to try some unique cheese you will never see in a supermarket ? This place is awesome and very friendly , knowledgeable staff . Try the 'black bomber' strong cheddar - It's awesome.

Fabulous cheese shop with a wonderful range of produce and real expert knowledge of the cheeses. Well worth a trip to see and have a great shopping experience.

We have lived in the area for years but had never been to The Cheeseboard until we got a voucher from Living Social to get £10 worth of cheese for only £5. The shop smells wonderful when you go in, and the choice is overwhelming. The assistant was very helpful in making suggestions and giving us tastes of each cheese we selected. We came away with 3 wonderful cheeses which we took to a dinner pary that evening. Everyone agreed they were so tasty, so different from what you can get in supermarkets. We will definately be back.

Quick stop at the cheeseboard!! If you like cheese, seriously you'll be in heaven!! Definitely try the Yorkshire smoked Wensleydale, its possibly my favourite cheese ever!!
