All the cheese you know and love are available to order, just tell us how much you'd like, when you'd like to pick it up, hand it back to us and we'll sort the rest out. No waiting in long queues and no disappointment. We'll wrap your cheese beautifully and even provide a gift tag and box if it's for a present.

We've included a range of salami and chorizo from the Cotswold Curer and our own homemade 'Traditional' or 'Cranberry & Gingerbread' Christmas Puddings. We've also a range of our award winning chutneys for you to order to compliment your cheeseboard.

Belated news at Snowdrop Cottage

I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who voted us through as finalists for the Bristol Good Food Awards.  We were delighted and a little shocked to win 'Best Pie' category!  Up against some big names in the pie world we knew the competition would be very stiff but the judges thought our pies deserved the award (and so did you)!  Our Autumn range is really going down a treat with us selling out fast at each market we attend.  So, thank you to everyone who has supported us, we may be little but it's nice to know we're packing a big punch with our pies!

STOP PRESS - New pie alert!

Drum roll please...... may I introduce you to our new pie 'Slow roasted pork with Bramley apple and stuffing in a cider gravy' - although I'm sure we'll come up with a more catchy name soon! We introduced this pie yesterday at Frome Market and customers have already reported back - it's a winner!  

We ensure each pie is generously filled and topped with stuffing before sealing the lid and adding Nigella seeds.  Every single pie is individually made and finished, no machines here just environmentally friendly re usable pie containers which get washed up (thanks Mum!) that are then ready for the next batch.

We'll be at Whiteladies Road market on Saturday and Wells Food Festival on Sunday so come and try one before they sell out fast!

Glorious Cheese

We're very excited to be introducing a couple of new cheeses to the stall at Whiteladies Road Market on Saturday.  The first is this wonderful Kit Calvert Wensleydale, a young cheese which is matured for only 13/14 weeks, but fresh and full of flavour.  You can read all about it in this wonderful article written by Victoria Moore here.

This is a Caerphilly like you've never tasted before!  Earthy and buttery and with three layers of deliciousness.  The grey rind is leafy, the middle part is fresh with citrus undertones and the layer next to the rind is yellow and creamy.  Another article written by Bee Wilson explains perfectly why we have chosen this cheese for our stall.  She happened upon it at Abergavenny Food Festival where our pies and pastries will be yet again this year.

We'd love to see you on Saturday, come and try our cheese and tell us what you think!
