Great cheeses, went there today, staff incredibly helpful, polite and friendly. Will definitely go back again. And you must buy the Poacher’s Pickle!

I didn't think it was oenn when we arrived, it was 3 o'clock on a late November afternoon. Good selection of cheese available and knowledgeable staff. Only downside is the steep stairs up to the shop. It was worth the climb.

Quaint first floor attic style cafe that specialises in cheese soup. Service can be slow but not too much of a problem. Plenty of parking.

Lovely friendly and helpful staff, lovely afternoon tea had after a very interesting and informative cheese factory tour from Craig. Would definitely recommend.

The terse greeting of “Have you booked?”, followed by the slap on a vacant table as our receiver retreated to the kitchen, should have warned us that all was not going to be well on this, our latest and last visit to the Cheese Loft, but we endured in the hope of tasty food in pleasant surroundings, accommodating about a dozen tables. Our order was eventually taken by our greeter and after the “We don’t having any of that left” reply to a couple of requested items, we settled for 2 cheese soups and 2 teas. The teas arrived after 10 minutes, but 25 minutes later, with the soups still not delivered and after the rapidly cooling teas had been consumed, we left, offering to pay for our drinks en route. A different lady, one of at least five who were working, was both embarrassed and apologetic as we explained our departure, and claimed we had somehow been overlooked. Our table was literally in the middle and passed by every server as they moved around, so that is either not accurate or a gross dereliction, but I suspect that the chorus of apologies for the long wait, given to other customers as their baked potatoes and pie and peas were delivered, suggests that something has gone amiss at the Cheese Loft. This may have been a bad day at the office, but the ownership need to quickly reappraise themselves with the importance of good service otherwise more of the regular customer base, are going to vote with their feet.

Gorgeous! Loved the overall feel here. Staff were lovely, very nice place. I can highly recommend the quiche. The salad etc with it was a little different and delicious. Good kids meal options although my little fussy eaters weren't keen on the cheese in their toasties 🙈
Go if you get the chance. Great cake selection too!

Wow, If you love cheese and haven't been here your missing out. Amazing cheeses 🧀 at reasonable prices, really good variety and loads to choose from. There is a café upstairs, which I would highly recommend you try especially if your already there. If you do love cheese and can't make it or unable to get there don't worry they even do delivery go check it out Northumberlandcheese.co.uk

Food from here is amazing (especially the afternoon tea) however the only criticism I have would be once we finished our food, no one paid attention to us so we sat for a while. However overall, lovely experience; would come back.

Have been visiting the Northumberland Cheese Company around December for quite a few years. Fabulous range of cheeses produced from local cows, sheep and goat milk. Over the years I've pretty much tried and loved them all. A great present for friends and family that love cheese but can't easily access top quality produce.
Besides the cheese, there are lots of other good food items to tempt you in the shop mmmmm.
In the shop the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable on the cheeses.
If you like top quality cheese at a very reasonable price 😍
