Monkland Cheese Dairy

Great home-cooked local food, good portions and very friendly staff who understand the products they are selling.

If you're a cheese lover, welcome to heaven. What's not to love about a hot, buttered cheese scone served with the warmest of smiles. Lovely outside seating area. The cake offering looked tasty too!

The cafe/ restaurant remains unchanged and there are still a wide range of cheeses available at the take away cheese counter . However for the fans of cheese made on the premises such as MONKLAND , Little Hereford , the Other Monk etc sadly no cheese making takes place on the premises any more and those cheeses will no longer be made. So fans must hope that the dairy will be resurrected at some stage in the future either on site or somewhere else close by . We live in hope that those cheeses will come back, meantime the cheese counter range is still very good.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem. The waitress who served us made, in my husband's words, "the best cheese scone he had ever tasted." I opted for a slice of Herefordshire apple cake, which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.

We were passing through on a long drive looking for somewhere to sit outside with our dog and stumbled across here. Considering it’s proximity to the main road it was so peaceful. Beautiful garden area. Food and drinks were promptly brought out to us and were all lovely, simple but so tasty. We had cheese and chunky rolls and a lemon drizzle cake both of which were beautiful.
