An excellent range of delicious cheeses beautifully wrapped. We liked them all but the goats cheese was probably the most popular.

Didn't deliver items but "temporarily closed"
TLDR: Bought a nice hamper from here October 21st for Christmas week delivery with extra for guaranteed dpd. Bought well in advance of rush orders. Christmas day find out hamper never arrived to my folks and the website has been shut down with Google saying temporarily closed. Have no recourse to get my money they ran off with:(

Please check your bank account before writing. Your order was refunded the day after the order was received as we were closed.
Great food and range
Great food and range, and will come back. Be helpful to know that gift vouchers need to be spent all in one go, I would have bought two if I had known.
Probably says in small print but who gets that far, or can find it?

Delicious cheese in a presentation box
An excellent range of delicious cheeses beautifully wrapped. We liked them all but the goats cheese was probably the most popular.

Almost there
Lovely cheese and well packed for delivery. Unfortunately the box did not contain my daughters favourite cheese, especially ordered for Xmas which has led to more calls to rectify

Hello Sue,~
We're really sorry about the missing cheese on your order. As we discussed over the phone, we have already shipped your missing cheese. Christmas is our busiest time and we're trying our best to provide flawless service but mistakes can happen. We believe that 3 star review wasn't fair for a mistake that already been resolved. Your missing cheese will arrive today. Have a lovely Christmas.
Thank you

Wouldn't order cheese from anywhere else
Ordered online and cheeses delivered on date requested. As always, quality of cheeses is superb - I wouldn't order my cheese from anywhere else.

Hello Jackie,
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We hope to see you in our store one day and try more cheese's together :)
Great Cheese but poor delivery outside Brighton
Cheese was great. I would give 5 stars except the delivery was 2 days late. Not the shops fault but DPD the delivery fault.

Hello G M Davies,
We tried so many different delivery companies and we come to conclusion that DPD is so far the best one. Our deliveries usually arrives in 24 hours with DPD but unfortunately sometimes we do see delays from DPD which we can't do anything to improve this. Our delivery packages comes with special ice packs to ensure that products will remain in top quality. We're happy that you enjoyed our cheese's. We will try our best to improve the delays that caused by DPD.
Thank you so much for your review.

The website was really easy to order from, and when collecting my order next day was a pleasure. Ready and waiting my Chutneys were also delicious when accompanied with a few select sausages. The vast selection of cold meats on offer was too tempting to resist, and although slightly dearer than supermarket fare the quality of my pastrami was appreciated by my tea-time guests insisted on where I was able to source such delicious treats. I gladly referred them to Barney's and so the 'Good Word' begins. The staff are always congenial and pleased to see you too. Thus revealing that my first visit was not my last!
