Artisan Cheeseboard

Hand-Selected Local Farmhouse Cheeses

A curated selection of the finest award-winning cheeses Sussex has to offer, sourced directly from small-scale local dairies and master artisan cheesemakers. From fresh sheep’s milk and buttery bries to oak-smoked farmhouse cheeses and bold blues, this board celebrates the finest dairy heritage our region has to offer.

3-Cheese Selection: 

• Sussex Brie – Alsop & Walker, Mayfield. Silky, rich and mellow with a gentle earthy rind and a hint of nuttiness. Type: Cow’s Milk (Pasteurised, Vegetarian).

• Brighton Blue – High Weald Dairy, Horsted Keynes. Mild, creamy, semi-soft and wonderfully balanced with subtle blue veining. Type: Cow’s Milk (Pasteurised, Vegetarian).

• Sussex Charmer – Bookham & Harrison, Rudgwick. A landmark cross between the creaminess of a mature farmhouse cheddar with the zing of an Italian-style hard cheese – rich, nutty, and sharp. Type: Cow’s Milk (Pasteurised, Vegetarian)
