Bath Squares, Charcoal Squares and Wheat Rounds, in one box.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and Sea Salt, Fig, Honey and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, and Rosemary and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil crackers for cheese, in one box.

Richly buttery, ‘sashimi’- cut belly slices from the meatiest part of the fillet.

A thin and wrinkled rind, an earthy fragrance, and a vegetal flavour. Described by Raymond Blanc as “the best Camembert in the world”, but the quality of the cheese will convince any Frenchman that it was made on his terroir.

Full-flavoured, with a hint of sweetness. A sweet and tangy Cheddar cheese with a particularly creamy texture and an occasional crystal caused by long maturing.

Full-flavoured, a hint of sweetness, and a subtle smokiness. A mature, West Country Farmhouse Cheddar, with a delicately smoky flavour and tangy bite. Cold-smoked over real oak chips to give a natural flavour with no harsh notes.

Rich and velvety smooth. Sweet, with mineral tones and winey spice. Made under the watchful eye of Billy Kevan, only the fourth Head Cheesemaker of the dairy since 1920, and a watchword for consistency. Colston Bassett Stilton is the only remaining exclusively hand-ladled Stilton.

Earthy but moist, and slightly sweet. Cloth-wrapped, hand-made Dorset Cheddar, cave-aged in Somerset for a depth of flavour and a moist texture. It is fruity and tangy with a rich, deep flavour and a hint of sweetness.

Moist and nutty. A mellow and slightly sweet Cheddar, hand-made from goats’ milk in Dorset, and matured for around six months.

At first fresh and citrusy, but maturing to minerally with a snowkissed appearance. Neal’s Yard Creamery is not in London. Newly independent, 30 years ago it settled in a beautiful location on Dorstone Hill, overlooking the River Wye in Herefordshire. The cheese takes its name from this rural idyll.              

Smooth, milky and delicate. This is a washed curd cheese, which means that a proportion of whey is substituted with water during the make. This enhances the smoothness of the texture and the gentle delicacy of the flavour.

A velvety-soft texture and a rich tangy flavour. Handcrafted the traditional way, using a recipe passed down through three generations of the Skailes family. Unlike the rest of their production, this traditional rennet Stilton is hand-ladled, producing a cheese that is richer and creamier, with a deep and complex flavour.

Glossy, yielding paste. Gently sweet and buttery. Originally made with Guernsey milk from the nearby Duke of Wellington’s estate, home to the family since it was acquired by the first Duke, a few years after the battle of Waterloo in 1817.

Soft and creamy with a wrinkled rind. More buttery in winter, and more vegetal in summer. Julie Cheyney told us this cheese was named after the patron saint of lost causes. Clearly St. Jude was listening; this cheese is heaven-sent.

Ivory in colour, mousse-like in texture, and a fresh citrus flavour that develops notes of almonds as it ages. Judged the eleventh best cheese in the world at the 2022 World Cheese Awards, and recipient of the Ann-Marie Dyas Award, sponsored by The Fine Cheese Co., for the World’s Best Artisan Cheese. Winner of Best Goat Cheese at the 2026 Artisan Cheese Awards.

Smooth in texture, with a lemony note in the flavour. Kent’s quarries are known for a hard grey limestone called Ragstone. Charlie Westhead’s first dairy was nearby but thankfully this Ragstone is soft and creamy.

Smooth, supple and buttery. Pungent from a cider wash.

Powerful and tangy. At least an extra six months spent in the family's maturing rooms gives this Cheddar even more stunning complexity and richness. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Awarded 'Best Soft White Cheese', 'Best Export Cheese' and 'Reserve Champion' at The British Cheese Awards 2025. A firm and silky texture and a fresh citrus flavour when young; and a denser, creamier and deeper flavour as it matures. Kevin and Alison Blunt’s goats feed on a diet of pasture and hay all year round, never silage. This natural diet results in high quality milk and a sublime and complex cheese.

Light and mousse-like, with hints of citrus. An ashed disc with a beautifully thin, wrinkled coat and a dense paste, with a texture reminiscent of the finest ganache. The flavour is every bit as good: nutty, complex and lingering.

Awarded 'Best Traditional Cheddar' and 'Best Cheddar' at The British Cheese Awards 2025, and'Best Traditional Cheddar' again in 2026 . Meaty and succulent. An artisan Somerset Cheddar made by Todd and Maugan Trethowan, just seven miles from Cheddar Gorge. Moist and succulent in texture, it is full-flavoured with a hint of tropical fruit.

Earthy and full-flavoured, with protracted finish. A cheese in the style of Brie de Meaux, made by Jonny Crickmore at Fen Farm. From the cutting of the curds to using the traditional pelle-à-brie ladle, everything is done by hand.

Silky smooth. Washed in brine and cider. Cider from Yarlington Mill apples from Herefordshire has helped David Jowett make a cheese in Gloucestershire, reminiscent of Reblochon from the Haute-Savoie in France. Fromage sans frontières. Reserve Champion and Best Export Cheese at the British and Irish Cheese Awards 2026

A fabulously full-flavoured Brie-style cheese, hand-made in Suffolk by Jonny Crickmore from the milk of his own herd of Montbeliarde cows.

Luxurious, ice-cream texture that matures from crème fraîche to clotted cream. The addition of double cream makes this cheese hard to resist. Made by Rose Grimmond, a relation of Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. But don’t just keep it For Your Eyes Only.

Dense and savoury. A traditional, cloth-wrapped, unpasteurised Cheddar cheese, made in Somerset by Jamie Montgomery. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Rich and aromatic. Melt-in-the-mouth texture. Inspired by Persian Fetta (softer, creamier and more buttery than the Greek), Graceburn is steeped in vivid yellow, coldpressed, British rapeseed oil, infused with thyme, garlic, bay and pepper.

Complex and grassy. Westcombe Cheddar cheese is a traditional cloth-wrapped Cheddar, hand-made in Somerset, with a complex, grassy flavour. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Creamy, and slightly crumbly in the core. The recipe was discovered in an attic by cheesemaker Alan Gray. Spell his surname backwards to see how the cheese got its unusual name. Local, hand-picked nettles provide its beautiful, lace-like appearance.

Earthy and full-flavoured, with protracted finish. A cheese in the style of Brie de Meaux, made by Jonny Crickmore at Fen Farm. From the cutting of the curds to using the traditional pelle-à-brie ladle, everything is done by hand.

Crumbly, with a little acidity. Cheshire is one of Britain’s oldest cheeses, but production almost stopped entirely after WW2. Lucy Appleby brought the cheese back in the 1950s, and it remains the only exclusively raw milk Cheshire.

Rounded and smooth, rich and buttery, with a refreshing acidity. Made in a micro-dairy in the town of Wensley, this is England’s only raw milk Wensleydale that is actually made in Wensleydale.

Nutty and mellow in flavour, and flaky in texture. Bound in cloth, and ripened for six months on beechwood shelves, this is the only hand-made raw milk Red Leicester. (The traditional orange-red colour is annatto, derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.) Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Creamy yellow, with a rich, buttery-crumble texture. A truly old-fashioned Lancashire made traditionally with a two-day curd recipe. (Curd from a second day’s milk is added to that from the first, to produce a more complex flavour.)

Single cream and light vegetal notes. In 2014, Bath Blue was judged ‘Supreme Champion’ at the World Cheese Awards. The competition was fierce, with 2,600 cheeses from 33 countries vying for the top spot, but none could beat this brilliant blue.

Intensely rich and creamy, with a sweet caramel and deep umami flavour. An unabashed, unashamed and unadulterated attempt to recreate the British blues of yore, made to an historic recipe and with raw milk. Not a Stilton, but impressive nonetheless.

A soft caramel colour, and a creamy and nutty flavour. Hand-made close to us with milk from the farm’s herd and originally named Beauty of Bath. We suggested ‘Wyfe of Bath’ because, in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Wyfe had an insatiable appetite for pleasure.

All-butter Bath Oliver-style crackers. Crisp, unsweetened and made with the finest British butter, they are sublime carriers for cheese.

All-butter charcoal crackers, with a crumbly texture and delicate flavour. A stylish partner for cheese.

Gluten-Free 'Digestives'. Sweet and delicious whole wheat crackers, especially good with cheese or a cup of tea.

All-butter Oatcake Rounds. Course, moreish and made with 100% rolled oats and oat flour.

All-butter Wheat Rounds. Sweet and delicious whole wheat crackers, especially good with cheese or a cup of tea.

Firm and flinty. Dried or tropical fruit notes balanced by deep savoury brothy tones. ** Please note, earliest delivery available for this cheese is the 6th of March

Cold-smoked slowly over a blend of juniper, beech and oak, the fish retains an extremely delicate flavour and mouthwatering texture. ** Please note, delivery is available from 10th of March.
