- Owner Alison Raper said that they "some big plans for the future"
Teesdale Cheesemakers in the village of Teesdale, County Durham have opened the doors to Café Cheesedale. Husband-and-wife team Allison and Jonathan Raper create cheeses using milk from the family farm. After moving to the premises in January 2019, work commenced on a conversion for the café, and was officially launched to the public in November. Visitors were invited to experience the café menu and browse the shop.
Allison told Speciality Food, “The launch went beyond our expectations with standing room only on the open day and a flood of people all week since. We’ve had a lot of local support and even had returning customers already. We have some big plans for the future with cheese experiences being planned in the short term and hopefully glamping next year so people can submerge themselves in a weekend of cheesemaking and wine.”
