Based in the picturesque market town of Wendover in the heart of the Buckinghamshire Chilterns, is No2 Pound Street. No2 is an innovative cheese and wine shop, selling classical favourites alongside, raw, organic and pasteurised cheese made by smaller producers from the British Isles – our wine shop prides itself on an ever-increasing number of hand-made English wines. Complimenting the cheese and wine is a superb British deli counter celebrating award winning British artisan producers of meats, and smoked salmon.
Run by James and Nicola Grant, No2 Pound Street hit the ground running in 2010 , winning with the title Best New Retailer in the 2011 British Cheese Awards, and they have not stopped since.
James has a background in fine dining restaurants and five star hotels, with a love of cheese and wine running through his veins. His mission is to educate to make cheese and wine fun.
“It is the quintessential British deli. The staff are very passionate about the excellent produce they have on offer, along with extremely sound advice and knowledge. A breath of fresh air.” Deli of the Year testimonial
No2 has a purpose built affinage room, event space and training room. This is set behind the shop and free of distractions. It has all creature comforts to make your time on the Academy of Cheese course most enjoyable. We are proud to be one of the registered Training Partners of the Academy of Cheese and to offer the UKs first accredited cheese training programme.
Testimonial
“One thing that has immediately changed as a direct result of James infectious passion is that I’ve started using “fancy” cheese for day-to-day uses. Maybe it’s a hangover from my upbringing but I always felt like it would be wrong to use a handcrafted, premium product to, say, make a toastie. That’s what Tesco’s own brand is for! But the day after the course finished I grated some of the leftover smoked cheddar into an omelette and it completely blew me away. It’s given me a whole new perspective on something that I previously saw only as a special treat, and for that I can’t thank you enough.” Alex Level 1 AOC February 21’
