This page holds the yellowwedge library of previous articles, events, promotions and other stuff that we just couldn't bring ourselves to throw away. Hope you like this stroll down memory lane, yellowwedge-style.
When the day of your celebration arrives why not have a go at decorating your board of festive fromage with a feathered apple? See the guide here.
Looking for a Christmas distraction for the kids? If they’re old enough to wield a pair of scissors and can be trusted with the dining room table then this might keep them busy for an hour or two...
Print the template from here.
Accompanying instructions:
- If you're old enough to do so, pour yourself a glass of wine [if not get an adult to pour one for you].
- Cut out the cheese shapes along their outer black borders.
- Score the remaining black lines and fold the cheeses into shape.
- Glue flaps and carefully assemble the components of your cheese board.
- Arrange artfully upon a suitably board-like surface - a cheese board works well [NB these can be purchased from yellowwedge cheese].
- Sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labours [and the wine, see above].
- DO NOT EAT - please remember that these are mere paper facsimiles of the real thing, for which you should visit yellowwedge cheese.
Your finished components will roughly resemble an assemblage such as this,
but arranged as you please, and slightly more colourful, unless you have
made a basic error and constructed the pieces inside out - in which case
it's back to square one, but perhaps you should skip the wine next
time?
The board includes replicas of Appleby's Cheshire, Colston Bassett Stilton, Morbier and a Cerney Ashed Goat's Pyramid. If you’re not sure which is which, you know where to come to find out.
Gather the family round your monitor on Christmas day
for a traditional party game of
Cheese or Font.
Paint the Cow! - never mind paint your wagon, come into yellowwedge and pick up a naked cow for you to paint or decorate in any format you desire. Great to kill those hours over the next few holiday weeks. All cows will be displayed in the shop and there will be prizes for 3 age categories so anyone can enter. So get your artistic minds-a-mooing and enter the first Paint the Cow competition! One of you may be the next Damia-moo-n Hirst!
St George's Day Week (18th April - 26th April) - although we stock many English cheeses throughout the year anyway, during this week we will have some unusual new specials to celebrate St George's Day, with special promotions, tastings and competitions. Come on in and celebrate the taste of the best English cheese. If you look at the following website, you can even take the day off! Click here to visit the StGeorgesHoliday.com website.
After Beijing, the gold rush continues!... yellowwedge has won the prestigious
trophy for Best New Deli at the British Cheese Awards 2008.
The Best New Deli award, sponsored by Speciality Food Magazine aims to celebrate and recognise new independent cheese retailers promoting a fantastic range of artisan British cheeses with flair and passion.
We were delighted that one of our most popular cheeses also won the Supreme Champion Award
at the festival - Barkham Blue - a well deserved prize as our many Barkham Blue devotees
will agree. We took this photograph of the justly proud Two Hoots team in Cardiff on the day after the awards.
