Academy of Cheese Level 1 Associate Course at No2 Pound Street
A full day of cheese, learning and flavour discovery in the heart of the Chilterns.
Your day begins at 9.30am with tea, coffee and fresh pastries before we officially start at 10.00am. The session runs until around 5.30pm, giving you a full, immersive experience in all things cheese.
Just an hour from London Marylebone, the beautiful market town of Wendover is home to No2 Pound Street, a renowned cheese and wine shop run by James and Nicola Grant. Since opening in 2010, No2 has become a destination for real food lovers, winning Best New Retailer at the British Cheese Awards and building a loyal following for its exceptional range of artisan British cheeses, English wines and deli produce.
Step behind the shop into our dedicated training space, purpose built for tastings, workshops and masterclasses. Here, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, welcoming environment, complete with our very own affinage room, so you can see the maturing process up close.
Your tutor, James Grant, known as The Bucks Cheese Guy, brings over 20 years’ experience in fine dining, hospitality and cheesemongering. His energy, humour and deep love for British cheese make this course both highly informative and seriously good fun.
“It’s the quintessential British deli. The staff are passionate about their produce, full of knowledge, and a breath of fresh air.”
