About the Cheese Press

An award-winning cheesemongers that opened in 2022 we’re based in the beautiful market town of Richmond, North Yorkshire - the gateway to the Dales!

Home to Richmond Castle and the Georgian Theatre Royal built in 1788, Richmond is also on Alfred Wainwright’s iconic Coast to Coast walk and a popular stopover point for walkers. We’re lucky to have some amazing food and drink producers in Yorkshire and we aim to showcase the best. We sell a selection of artisan cheeses with many sourced from local suppliers including Curlew Dairy, Swaledale Cheese Company, Lacey’s based in Reeth and the Hattans who make Stonebeck.

The Cheese Bar

On Saturday nights we’re open from 6pm until 10pm with sharing boards and platters on offer as well as individual tasting plates of cheese. Please see our menu below and get in touch to book a table.
