Pull up a chair.

A little out of the ordinary.
A lot to fall in love with.

Behind the door of our 1806 building is a cheese and wine bar that does things its own way. Bottle-lined walls, generous wooden boards and a warm welcome from Mickii, Lynette and the team.

We seek out cheeses with a story, make our fondue from scratch, and take the time to show you what makes each one special. Bring your favourite people. We’ll take care of the rest.

Lovely evening tonight with very knowledgeable owners, had the cheese platter and what can I say but ‘wow’. Lots of variety of cheese which I have never seen anywhere and all served beautifully.

Stephanie Leach Recommends on Facebook · 2026

Highly recommended for all cheese lovers… The cheese master knows his stuff!! Delicious fondue made with 5 different types of cheese, homemade bread, chutney AND butter from local sources… The cheeseboard itself contained no less than 16 cheeses.

Kayla Holland Recommends on Facebook · April 2026

We came here last night for our date night and honestly from the minute we stepped foot in to the place it was absolutely amazing. The friendly staff, the atmosphere and interior are amazing.

Si English Recommends on Facebook

An amazing experience! We loved getting to taste such a wide variety of cheeses. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and eager to share the stories behind each cheese.

Vinicius De Biasio Recommends on Facebook

Well worth a 40 mile round trip drive… Cheeses that you’d never know about and good lord the amount of food! We took a bag away with us so we’ll be eating cheese all week!

Angela Andrew Recommends on Facebook · October 2025

Absolutely the best cheese experience I have had! These people really look after you and it is a true dining experience. The quality of the food is fabulous.

Atticus Harry Recommends on Facebook · August 2025

First visit last night, well …what a cracking place. Food was amazing, owners are lovely and all the staff can’t do enough. The karaoke room was extra special.

Bryony Ann Uttley Recommends on Facebook · June 2025

Seven of us visited Tipsy Cows in Great Harwood for a girls’ night—and it was perfect. We shared a fondue starter and a massive selection of over 16 cheeses, paired with crackers, chutneys, and charcuterie. Wine was bloody lovely too!

Lauren Ann Recommends on Facebook · May 2025

A huge thank you to Tipsy Cows for hosting our group of nine for New Year's Eve in their amazing private room! Staying open late so we could see in the new year…

Carolina De Almeida Kennedy Recommends on Facebook · January 2025

We had a nosey down below and they even took great care in creating a 'mystic' vibe with candles down the corridor, it definately entised my to buy a bottle!

Shannon Louise Recommends on Facebook · July 2024

Great selection of gorgeous cheeses, chutneys and meats. Good wine and cocktails too.

Outstanding from start to finish. The cheese selection was impressively varied and absolutely delicious, with generous portions that didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, and the service was exceptional.

Toom Arch Recommends on Facebook

Had a lovely afternoon here today, brought my daughter for some mum/daughter time before she heads back to uni. She’s a massive cheese fan and loved it. Was our first but definitely not last visit.

Nicky J Heron Recommends on Facebook

We had a brilliant night at Tipsy Cow for our work Christmas Doo! The owners were wonderful hosts and made you feel really welcome, the food and drinks were amazing and we will definitely be coming back!

Caroline Cochran Recommends on Facebook

We drove 45 minutes each way and would do it again in the blink of an eye!

Missbaxter1984 Tripadvisor · January 2026

Then the main platter of cheese was brought out and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I counted 14 large portions of very interesting looking soft and hard cheeses…

Marion Julie Recommends on Facebook · October 2025

Great hosts, so friendly and informative amazing service and cheese experience was the best I've ever had. All personally sourced and we were informed of the varieties.

Cat Spencer Recommends on Facebook · June 2025

I’ll admit it—I’ve never been adventurous with cheese, pâté, or fondue. But after my first visit to The Tipsy Cow, I walked away a total convert!

Wendy Jo Recommends on Facebook · June 2025

The passion for the produce shines through and we had some sublime cheeses. I am Gluten free and was catered for beautifully. This is not your normal Charcuterie and cheese board the selection was outstanding.

Angela Jane Fielden Recommends on Facebook · March 2025

Wow just had a decaf expresso martini I’ll sleep tonight and it still tasted Devine thank you, you are literally the best mixologist ever xx plus we got takeaway cheeses for supper

Emma Cannings Recommends on Facebook · November 2024

Netty gave us a tour of the cellars which were bursting with various wines and gins plus a few friendly ghosts. The cocktails were so good. No cheap syrup taste just quality ingredients.

Sunny Davidson Recommends on Facebook · September 2023

The cheese board was exceptional and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable!

Kendra H Tripadvisor · July 2026

It isn’t stuffy, refined or hushed. TC is a place for cheese, wine and joy.

913HAP Tripadvisor · May 2026

The cheese platters are out of this world.

Charlene B Tripadvisor · August 2026

The owner is so knowledgeable and explains each cheese in a way that’s interesting and approachable.

Missbaxter1984 Tripadvisor · July 2026

First time here group of 7 absolutely loved every minute and karaoke. Brilliant service… Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't had the cheese experience. You definitely need to go.

Louise Evans Recommends on Facebook

We were given our own bread and crackers (all gluten free) along with our own fondue tray, everything was kept separate.

Kay L Tripadvisor · December 2025

This is NOT the place to go if you are fancying the new trend in grazing boards or a ploughman’s lunch. A truly unique experience with great hosts. Cheeses that you could never buy anywhere else, some that raise your eyebrows with the description but give them all a try!

Joanne Cromack Recommends on Facebook · August 2025

Fabulous afternoon at Tipsy Cows. Very accommodating and pleasant staff who were also very knowledgeable regarding the wine and food. The fondue and cheese board was amazing.

Kerry Gallagher Recommends on Facebook · June 2025

I have been yearning to come to Tipsy Cows after experiencing their epic Christmas hamper. My high expectations were completely blown out of the park!

Jo Blez Recommends on Facebook · May 2025

Not only was the food amazing but the staff were super inviting and friendly and the young staff a credit to the place! We also got to bring home the food we didn't manage so another cheese night for us!!!

Katie Louise Parker Recommends on Facebook · March 2025

Different selection every time and a little story about each one from Mickii before you tuck in. Anything left over (there always is!) is wrapped up for you to enjoy again at home.

Ian Potter Recommends on Facebook · August 2024

The most amazing cheeses I have ever seen and tasted all talked through by the owner.
