We are the only cheesemakers left in Cheddar. The whole process takes around 8 hours from start to finish and you can watch us during the various stages as we transform our rich, local milk into award winning authentic Cheddar Cheese. Our viewing gallery allows you to watch our cheesemakers practice their skills, and information is displayed to help you follow the process. From Easter until the end of October a guide is on hand to help, explain, and answer questions.
After seeing cheese being made you can treat yourself to a free taste at our taster bar and then visit our shop where our Cheddars plus local pickles, biscuits, hand crafted cheese dishes, cheese knives etc are on sale.
Admission to the cheese making area from Easter until Sunday the 4th November is £1.95 for Adults. A maximum of two children per paying adult under 16 are free. From the 5th November to 15th March 2008 public admission is free but guides are not available.
Coach parties are always welcome and there is a group booking discount for parties of 15 or more. We close the Visitor Centre for your group so as to give you our undivided attention and therefore we do charge for goups of children under 16.
Please contact us for details and availability.
