The Cheese &Wine Shop, Darlington

The Cheese & Wine Shop trades from Skinnergate in Darlington town centre, having moved from its original spot in Clarks Yard to larger premises nearby. The shop sells UK and European cheeses cut to order, cured meats and charcuterie, and a wine list chosen to pair with them, alongside crackers, chutneys, and other deli staples. Staff run in-store tastings and can put together mixed boards for customers to take away. The counter also stocks a rotating selection of craft beers and small-batch spirits. It operates as a single independent shop rather than part of a wider chain, with the same team handling ordering, cutting, and the till. Opening hours run from half past nine until five, Monday through Saturday, with the shop closed on Sundays.
