Congratulations!

Now you’re planning your big day, we’d love to help you with your cheese selection! Whether you’d like a stunning stack or an eclectic board for your buffet, we’d be delighted if you could join us for a tasting in one of our shops.

If you can’t come to us, just drop us a line and we can take you through the process from afar! We can advise on quantities needed, types of cheese and help you to choose a fantastic selection for your budget. We can send out a sample of cheeses for you to taste if you’d like us to, helping you to make your decision on the perfect cheese for you, ensuring you’ll impress both the most exacting of cheese buffs and those who just want something yummy!!

If you’d like an idea of costs and what you need then please have a browse. You’ll find some fully costed ideas, and the cheese list shows you a selection of the cheeses we have available that make up a nice wedding selection. This is by no means all of the cheeses we can supply but it’s a good starting point. As a guide, we suggest having 50g - 100g per person, 50g if the cheese is to be eaten straight after a meal and more if it’s being eaten in the evening and your guests might need to soak up some booze!

The list shows the cheeses in order of diameter so if you would like a stack you can work out what you want, how it would look and how much cheese you’d end up with. With very reasonable prices for top quality cheese, you really can’t go wrong.

We’ll make sure your cheese is ready to be picked up on the day you choose, or we can arrange delivery to your venue as part of your quote. We can also supply a great variety of local chutneys and crackers if you need them!

Happy browsing!Claire, Matt and the Mousetrap Cheese team

BESPOKE

We love to help plan wedding cheese! If you’d like to come into our Ludlow, Leominster or Hereford shop for a taste and a look, then drop us an email and we’ll arrange an appointment so we can make sure there’s someone there

to see you and spend time playing with cheese!




If you’re not sure how your bespoke selec-tion will look, we can easily have a little play stack in the shop and send you some photo’s over to help you visualise and finalise your selection. Some people like to have whole cheeses, some people like a mix, again we can advise what works and what is more dif-ficult - although we always manage to find a solution in the end - sometimes it just takes a bit of creative cutting!

The Mousetrap Cheese Shops have been supplying the finest cheeses to the people of Herefordshire for over 30 years! Matt and Claire Knowles have been at the helm for the last 5 years and have modernized and im-proved the business, to include online sales.

We’ve tested and perfected the way we post cheese and now send cheese for banquets and buffets all over the British Isles, from the Isle of Bute to Banquetting House, we’ve supplied some amazing events, from inti-mate to enormous!

The standard cost for wedding cheese delivery is £10.50 for Tuesday - Friday delivery. We can organise a Saturday morning delivery if there is no other option, but will quote for you when we have the delivery postcode.

Packed snug and tight into insulated boxes, we include ice packs to ensure the cheese is kept at the perfect temperature. Sent by overnight courier, the cheese doesn’t spend long in transit and can be happily popped into a fridge when you receive it,, no worse the wear for it’s journey.for you when we have the delivery postcode.
