We were on the lookout for a good Leicester Red Cheese. The reviews we had read about the farm were good with the odd exception so we decided to take the hour and a half journey to find out. Oh and sample some cheese. We were not disappointed. The reception we received was excellent and there was no rush in the shop as we sampled the many cheeses. Needless to say we bought cheese and the delicious raw milk. We then decided we would have drinks and tosties in the cafe. They were delicious and also a 10/10 for the coffee and tea. If it is fast service you want then stay with a drink and cakes or scones as the toasties are lovingly made fresh each time. All in all a very nice relaxing hour or so.

Amazing! Had blue scone, never had before. Didn’t mind the wait as they were extremely busy. Staff were pleasant and vibrant.

About the farm

Sparkenhoe Farm in Upton, Leicestershire is the Clarke family dairy farm making Sparkenhoe Red Leicester and other clothbound cheeses from the raw milk of its own pedigree herd.

Sparkenhoe Farm at Upton in Leicestershire belongs to the Clarke family, who have farmed this corner of the county for generations and make cheese as the Leicestershire Handmade Cheese Co. Their pedigree Holstein-Friesian cows graze a diversity of pastures, and the family pay close attention to the soil and the delicate ecosystem it supports. The milk becomes raw milk cheeses, including Sparkenhoe Red Leicester and Sparkenhoe Blue.

Cheese heaven in a lovely corner of Leicestershire. They sell bread eggs and milk as well but it’s the cheese that really draws you in.

Probably the finest toasted cheese sandwiches in the world! High quality ingredients and carefully prepared to order in a lovely room.

"The best cheese toasty I've ever had" A fabulous visit for my husbands birthday. Dont expect lots of unecessary razzamataz. It is high quality food, done superbly well. Cheeses are wondrous, staff were really lovely, and food was delicious. Simply wonderful.

I have been there many at time the staff are always very accommodating and pleasant. There's usually plenty of cheese to choose from which surprises me looking at some of the ratings, given they only open two days a week. The cafe has a nice little selection I wouldn't call it expensive as commented by one poster, obviously they don't get out much!. All in all a great experience and some of the best cheeses locally with a few National craft cheeses thrown into the mix. Great Asset to the Borough. Just off the A444.
