The MeltonCheeseboard

The Melton Cheeseboard is a specialist cheesemonger on Windsor Street in Melton Mowbray, a town long associated with Stilton and pork pies. Run by Tim and Lyn Brown with family help, the shop carries well over a hundred and fifty cheeses, buying direct from dairies rather than through wholesalers. Local names feature strongly, including Stilton and Red Leicester from Long Clawson and raw-milk Sparkenhoe Red Leicester made nearby, alongside British and continental varieties cut to order. Staff will talk customers through the counter and help assemble boards for events and for Christmas. The shop reflects Melton Mowbray's standing as a centre of English cheese, keeping a single town-centre premises rather than expanding into branches. It is an independent, owner-run business focused on cut-to-order cheese and related larder goods.
