If you're looking for a multi-award winning cheese emporium in Cambridgeshire, then look no further.
Victoria's Cheese, in Ely, has quickly become a must-visit stop for cheese-loving locals and day-trippers.
Whether it be its artisan cheese counter, tasting tables or atmospheric historic setting, it is more than just a retail space.
Housed in part of Ely Cathedral's ancient fabric, visitors can expect to be greeted by vaulted stone ceilings.
With an almost chape-like feel, Victoria's Cheese boasts a beautifully-curated cheese counter which has been dubbed a "cheese heaven".
Cheese is cut fresh to order and each selection is paired with friendly, expert advice offered by founder and owner Victoria Dunthorne.
It is perhaps unsurprising the retailer was named as a finalist in the highly esteemed national Farm Shop & Deli Awards.
Victoria's Cheese also reached the finals of the Velvet Food and Drink Awards in the Farm Shop and Deli category.
If that wasn't enough, it was featured in the Speciality Food Magazine as one of the UK's Inspirational Cheese Retailers of 2025.
'Cheese heaven'
The retailer currently boasts a rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 based off 25 reviews from visitors on Google.
One visitor said: "Stumbled across Victoria's Cheese on our visit to Ely and what a wonderful place it is.
"Amazing cheese and wine, wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly staff. We are so sad we don't live closer. The Nanna blanket and hot water bottle made me feel right at home.
"I cannot recommend this place more. We may have chatted so much it felt like eating with friends. We will definitely be back. Don't miss this wonderful place."
Another added: "A real gem with a delightful owner who was informed, informative and added local details.
"Definitely a worthwhile place to find cheeses that have been treated with respect and also, they have deliveries of special breads delivered on some days."
