Customer Reviews

Excellent Variety...

Excellent and interesting variety of cheeses. We have never been disappointed with our orders over the years. We love the special collection cheeses as they make wonderful gifts for special occasions and have always been enjoyed and appreciated by family and friends.

The Weekend Cheese Box

While selecting cheeses that we like is always a pleasure, going for an option such as the Weekend Box is an excellent way to get a range of cheeses that we may not have tried before and might not have selected from a list. Often, this leads to the discovery of an excellent cheese which we might not have picked from its name and description on a list.

Delicious Cheese

I ordered a gift for a friend. They were impressed with the delivery, packaging and the quality of what was inside - the cheeses and added extras were plenty, of high quality and delicious!

At Paxton & Whitfield, we want to share our enthusiasm with everyone.
