If you’re a sucker for afternoon tea and love a bit of cheese, then we have the perfect experience for you. Yorkshire’s most popular cheesemaker, Wensleydale Creamery, has launched a cheesy afternoon tea for two in its Calvert’s Restaurant at the visitor centre in Hawes in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
You can enjoy the cheesy afternoon tea whilst admiring the panoramic views of the rolling Yorkshire Dales. The cheesy afternoon tea showcases some of the creamery’s best-handcrafted cheeses, complemented with locally made artisan chutney and rich fruitcake.
You can enjoy the creamery’s visitors’ centre, which showcases its most popular sweet and savoury dishes. The menu includes a classic three-cheese quiche, an indulgent oozy Wensleydale Mac n Cheese, and the ‘Ultimate Wensleydale Creamery Rarebit’ made to a secret recipe featuring Yorkshire Wensleydale, Double Yorkshire and Yorkshire Cheddar with Black Sheep Ale. The dishes are perfectly complemented with locally produced Raydale Preserves Tomato & Chilli Chutney, a fresh salad garnish and chunky chips.

And, the goodness doesn’t end there. You can enjoy a Yorkshire twist on a dessert with Calvert’s signature Yorkshire Wensleydale & Ginger Cheese Cheesecake that is sure to delight. What better way to complete the menu than with the regional delicacy of serving rich fruitcake with a slice of handcrafted Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese? This is all rounded off the cheesy culinary experience is a refreshing pot of Yorkshire Tea.
Originally introduced as a limited two-week special during the summer, its popularity and success have prompted its return and launch with a permanent place on the menu.
Trish Cannon, Wensleydale Creamery Visitor Centre director, commented: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of our Cheesy Afternoon Tea. After listening to the fantastic response from our visitors, we knew we had to make it a permanent offering, and we can’t wait to welcome more guests to enjoy our cheesy version of the classic afternoon tea!”
