Wild Thymes, Marlborough

Buried deep within the heart of Marlborough, down a quaint, flag stoned Alley Way, lies one of Wiltshire’s hidden secrets, a Fromagerie and Fine Whole Food Shop, stocking some of the most outstanding artisan cheeses you will ever taste.

Our ethos at RealCooking is to utilise, wherever possible, only the very best local produce. Wild Thymes is a unique, vibrant haven for food connoisseurs. Whether you are seeking an unusual British Cheese with accompanying chutneys and savoury biscuits, or freshly baked bread, sourced from the highly acclaimed Hobbs House Bakery, they stock it all and we, at Real Cooking, love it.

Why not try a slice of Waterloo, named after the Duke of Wellington’s estate where the cheese originated? Produced by the Wigmore family in Berkshire, this cheese is made from the unpasteurised milk of Golden Guernsey Cattle and offers a creamy rich, but delicate flavour, with a mild earthy aroma.   Alternatively, the Montgomery Cheddar, made in Somerset by Jamie Montgomery, is delicious, wrapped in cloth to mature for 14 months; it provides a nutty, complex, full-bodied flavour.  As for the Colston Bassett Stilton, what a treat!  Produced in Nottinghamshire by Billy Kevan, this cheese remains one of the only hand ladled Stiltons available, a process which results in an intensely rich and creamy texture with a deep and lingering complexity.

For those entering into the world of whole foods and fine cheeses for the first time, have no fear.  Christopher Markham, the Proprietor of Wild Thymes, is an expert in his field.  His boundless enthusiasm and dedication to the finer tastes in life means that he has created a rare oasis of delicious, enticing food.  Pop into his shop and find out for yourselves, or better still, book an event with RealCooking and we will delight your taste buds with his fare.
