The Cheese Roomat Alnwick Deli

The Cheese Room at Alnwick Deli sits on Paikes Street, just off the town's market place, and stocks every Northumberland cheese the owners can source alongside a wider run of British and European varieties. The counter is built up with deli regulars: cured meats and charcuterie, chutneys and pickles, crackers, jams, honey and olives, plus locally baked bread for anyone putting together a full board rather than a single wedge of cheese. Staff cut to order from the cabinet and know their stock well enough that customers describe them as knowledgeable and enthusiastic rather than simply helpful. The shop draws on Northumberland's dairies and smokehouses first, filling gaps with cheeses from further afield, and doubles as a source of picnic supplies for visitors heading out to Alnwick Castle or the coast.
