Newport - Wycherleys Fine Foods

Wycherleys Fine Foods is a delicatessen and coffee house, situated in a grade 2 listed building (dating back to the 1790's) in the middle of Newport.

That's Newport in Shropshire (not to be confused with the Newports in Cornwall, Essex, Gloucestershire, Isle of Wight, Monmouthshire, Pembrokeshire or Yorkshire). For my overseas readers, I should also point out that this Newport is not in Australia, Canada, Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, Poland or the 26 Newports I counted in the United States!
I always like shops that give free samples and sell local food. There was a special offer when I called, and I ended up buying 6 different local cheeses - when I wasn't really needing any!
The town has two cheeses named after it, handmade by Mr Moyden at Church Aston near Newport and sold in this shop.

If you fancy a drink or something to eat you can sit down at the back of the shop:

or upstairs:

or (if it's nice weather) outside on their patio at the back.

Drinks sold included Cleric's Cure from the Three Tuns Brewery in Bishops Castle, which according to their web site, is regarded as one of the best bottled beers in the world. I never did find out what it cured...

Besides cheese they sell jam and pickles from Jam Today (made in nearby Stafford), a good selection of cheese biscuits to go with your cheese, fruit vinegars and a very fine pork pie:

p.s. Since writing this post Wycherleys no longer trade at these premises.  You can find them at various markets, see here for details:

Thanks to everyone who took the time to update me on this.
