The cheese was not delivered to me. Butlers said they had fulfilled their obligation by sending it and refused to either chase up the courier or replace the cheese. Terrible customer service.

Thank you for your 5* review David, we're pleased to hear that the service from both ourselves and our delivery partners met your expectations and all arrived quickly.
Excellent
The cheese was a gift so I can only say I really really like Blackstick blue so was sure the rest would be good. Excellent customer service in response time and rescheduled the package and altered the message for me. Posted one day and arrived the next much to the delight of the recipient. Such a lovely gift to give.

Thank you for your review Joanne, I'll be sure to pass your review onto the small team who take pride in the way that they pack our orders so that they are ready to be gifted straight away. It's great to hear our presentation and carefully put together gift sets went hand in hand with fast delivery.
Great food and great service
Being able to choose the date it’s sent is really helpful. I’ve bought two different sets and the cheese in both was delicious. Will definitely buy again soon.

Thank you for your review Esther. We're pleased to hear that you selecting the dispatch date helps you when placing your orders, this is something that we made a conscious choice on as no courier is 100% reliable in all areas of the UK, and there are delays that can happen which are out of our control.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoy both sets of cheese you ordered from ourselves. We look forward to your next order 😊
Good experience
I bought this for my grandson's birthday. I was kept informed as to the status of the order and he was delighted with his present

The Gift set arrived in time and when…
The Gift set arrived in time and when requested , the cheeses were well packed and I liked the kool bag that kept the cheeses fresh . I did imagine that the crackers would have been a bit more substantial as they were very small in size and definately not sufficient to use with all the cheeses . Overall though i must say that I am pleased with the delivery and the cheeses and will definately be using the service again .

Thank you for your honest review Mark, we're pleased to hear that even in this hot weather we are experiencing, your letterbox cheese order arrived in tip top condition. We are sorry that you feel the crackers were not in a big enough quantity for the amount of cheese you had. This is all down to personal preference alongside the weight limit we have through Royal Mail for our letterboxes to be posted directly through your letterbox.
Amazing customer service

Love this cheese! Bought it for a jubilee party, love the sage flavour, beautifully packaged and presented, went really well with the Peters yard sourdough crackers, thank you.

Thank you for your review Jackie, it's great to hear that you enjoyed our cheeses alongside Peters Yard Sourdough Crackers at your Jubilee party. What a great way to enjoy them! It's lovely to hear your feedback on the Sage. This is one special cheese that we all love so it's great to hear you, our customers love it too.
Well packed
Well packed, didn't take long to be delivered, informed of pending delivery all the way through. Haven't finish the cheeses yet, gave some away to our son. Didn't realise most of the Best to eat dates would only be 4 to 6 weeks, I suppose cause don't really read best due by dates when I only buy one piece of cheese I know it will be eaten within 2 weeks

Thank you for your honest review Elizabeth.
We're pleased to hear your order was packaged well and you had communication right through the process.
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't realise the soft and blue cheeses alongside your Perfect British Cheeseboard has 4 weeks shelf life, please be assured that by purchasing direct from ourselves you receive the longest date we can safely do.
The hard cheeses you have received should have longer dates on.
We hope you and your son continue to enjoy them :)
