Top quality and value

I ordered a ploughman’s hamper for a Father’s Day gift. It arrived well packaged and So was in excellent condition when opened. The contents - - Well! Wow! generous portions of three amazing cheeses (I know deli counters that couldn’t come close) with crackers, a beer, pickled onions and piccalilli - what great value! and dad loved the gift ( yes it’s fathers day until Sunday but I booked it for delivery today) Would highly recommend.

A great find during lockdown and some…

A great find during lockdown and some great cheese.. did an initial virtual tasting with beer then moved onto a subscription. Andy knows cheese, he knows the people who make it and how they milk their cows.. that’s knowledge.. the cheese is great as a result. The fact sheets in the subscription are also great.. Would highly recommend

Virtual Cheese Tasting An Absolute Delight!

Just completed a virtual cheese tasting - blue cheeses and port. This was a 70th birthday present for my mum and it didn’t disappoint! Beautifully packaged in a lovely box, it arrived perfectly on time and all in great condition. The cheese and port were all absolutely delicious, and the Zoom aspect was wonderful. So much knowledge and passion - every possible question was thrown at them and answered with fascinating depth and breadth. Thank you so much for making this lockdown birthday special, I shall recommend you to all my friends and family!

Love them

Fabulous cheeses. Cheese like it used to be...not plastic cheese in plastic wrap!
I never liked squidgy cheese til I got some from here....I’m sold now.

There is so much to choose from, and not only cheese!

Found the dairy just before lockdown no 1 so was disappointed not to be able to get more cheese...but then found they do a delivery service. All very efficient.

Raw Dairy options. Excellent service!

If, like me, you are looking for raw diary products (but don't have a palate that can appreciate pungent cheeses) Courtyard Dairy can help you out. I regularly order the raw Bungay butter and the Kirkhams Lancashire cheese, which are both lovely and not available in supermarkets. Of course, they have a wide array of cheeses both pasteurised and unpasteurised and some excellent charcuterie too (I love the fennel salami). Whatever you enjoy, it'll be well worth you making an order. The delivery service is excellent and you will be supporting a quality independent business.

Fabulous Little Dairy

Great little shop. I have bought from them a few times and have been pleased each time. I was concerned that my most recent order would be spoiled due to postal delay (from covid-19). Perishable items are marked as such and are usually delivered the day after collection from the shop. This order was late but thankfully the cheese was okay, barring one which had turned a little sad. The Courtyard Dairy followed up about the order and offered a discount on my next order to make up for it. A pleasure to support our British farms and artisan cheesemakers - I can recommend their sheep 🐑 and goat 🐐 cheese 🧀.
Please keep up the good customer service, Courtyard Dairy!
