Colin McVicar is making a batch of Chipolata sausages for us as I type and they should be here this afternoon. Many are already reserved but I do have about 15 half kilo packs for sale. Also, plenty of back bacon and a few boxes of hand made mince pies and some very special walnut and brandy Christmas puds left.

We're open this Saturday and Sunday from 10 - 6, next Monday and Tuesday from 1 - 6 and Wednesday from 10 - 6.

Saturday you can try our mince pies for free, and Sunday Jack will be here again with free samples of his delicious hand made, all natural pralines.

Just had some of Colin's Chipolata sausages for breakfast. They were excellent - looking forward to a few more breakfasts with them over the holidays. Also can't wait to try the sage and pork sausages and the mince pies that we also picked up in the shop yesterday.

I did most of my Christmas shopping (for others) at Mike's yesterday, which is kind of unfortunate because I really wouldn't mind trying the bacon or sausages with sage myself . Mike, I had a lovely time, thanks to both of you for your lovely hospitality (mmmhhhh champagne, mmmmhh mince pies...). Hope to see you at the shop next week!

Do you mean you are open today? or next tuesday, I really really need some stilton if you still have any :-)

... yes I am a complete last minute christmas shopper!

Open today until 6 and tomorrow from 10 - 6. Still plenty of bacon but only a couple of packs of sausage and chipolatas left, but plenty of Stilton

see... u r like santa!
merry xmas to you + mrs grapefruit. thanks for all the yummies this year.
looking forward to more pie shop events hopefully in 2009!

Had Colins sausages yesterday (chicken),with mashed potatoes tarragon sauce and romanasco. They were brilliant,tonight we will be trying GG's cheeses (testing pack) which I know will also be brilliant.

mmmmm seriously gorgeous cheeses, thanks!

Well we had our cheese as I thought really tasty,once again thanks GG,also a great big thank you for bringing the pie shop, Colin, Bobs beer, and yourself to us in such easy access.

Thanks everyone who came down, I'm open today and still have some mince pies which I'll be serving warm for free. I'll also crack open a few bottles of wine later and maybe a LBV porto to sip with some Stilton.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Mike,

Are you open next saturday? i might drop by, depending on work schedule

Hi Nathan

we're open every Saturday now from 10 - 6 and have some things still on Sale including Burts Chips (cheddar cheese, bacon, chilli lemon, sea salt, black pepper, mixed root and parsnip & black pepper) all at half price.

Rappi Bier is on the shelves and Spiffing Ales will be on sale again soon.

Just had a lot of new cheese arrive from the UK including our first 2 smoked cheeses - real smoke not artificial smoke flavour like Applewood

We also now have free parking just 100m from the shop on Saturdays only. This Saturday well be opening a few bottles of ale for free tasting to help the cheese go down

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us!

where is this parking? this will help alot, esp when buying beer (w/ cheese of course...)

same side of the road as the shop 100m towards ZH opposite Tommy Hilfogger, 2 spaces are marked for us but you can use any that are empty.

Quick question GrumpyGrapefruit...do you stock Colin's bacon ?

Sorry Vallers for missing this, we do from time to time (non in at the mo) and I'll post when we next get some.

We won't be open this Saturday (Easter weekend) but will be open this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon for anyone wanting to stock up on some goodies for the weekend.

Tomorrow (Saturday 16th May) we're doing a bit of a Scottish cheese tasting. Isle of Mull cheddar (prob the best Scottish cheddar), Dunsyre Blue and the famous Lanark Blue (aka the Kilt Lifter). The Kilt lifter will be on special offer, 25% off on the day.

We'll also have a few bottles of single malt open to taste with the cheese - as usual, the tasting is free.

If you can't get to the shop, I'll be doing a presentation and tasting at Orell Füssli, the English book shop on the Bahnhofstrass in Zurich from 11 until 5 (or until the cheese runs out). There'll also be a few bottles of wine open to sip with the cheese.

it's Real Ale day at the shop today. Spiffing Ales have started supplying their ale in boxes, the ale will keep for 6 months (1 once opened) and is better IMO than bottled. We'll be stocking 3 & 5 litre boxes and will crack open a few for tasting today.

I also have one small Godminster cheddar left, more coming in 3 weeks or so.

quick someone go get the last one now! ......btw grumpy, that cheese was called flixer.
