FAQ’s
Do you offer a discount?
Yes, every single one of our wedding cakes includes a 20% discount, whether it is large or small. We know how expensive weddings and parties can be and want to do our bit to reduce the cost!
Do you deliver?
Yes, we deliver locally by cycle courier and nationwide to all mainland UK addresses. Nationwide deliveries are sent via APC and tracking will be sent directly to your email or to the venue’s, as preferred. The delivery charge will depend on the weight of the parcel. All deliveries are sent on a premium next day service.
We will also contact your venue ourselves and arrange all aspects of the delivery directly with them, so there’s no extra admin on your end.
Can I collect?
Yes, collection is free and available every day that we are open.
Do you set up and decorate the wedding cakes?
No, as a very small team without a vehicle, we’re unable attend the venues in person.
We do however have lots of advice for decoration and sell a wide range of dried fruits and fruit crisps to decorate your cake.
We also include instructions on how to set up and build each cake, for the caterers at your venue.
How do I store the cheese and how long can it be stacked and on display for?
All storage and set up instructions will be included with your delivery. As a guide, the cheese cake can be built up to five hours in advance, depending on the temperature at the venue.
How much cheese do I need to order?
The amount of cheese required will depend on whether your guests are eating anything else during the day of your celebration. If there is a meal provided, we recommend around 70-100g of cheese per person. If cheese is the main event, we recommend around 150-200g of cheese per person.
Do you sell catering size packs of crackers, chutneys and condiments?
Yes, we sell bulk packs of crackers and chutney from the same exceptional companies who make our retail packs, so there is no compromise on quality, but a big difference in price.
Can you source cheeses outside of the ones listed on your website?
Yes, we work with hundreds of dairies across and UK and Europe, as well as with a small number of wholesalers, so can source a huge range of cheeses, outside of the near 300 already on our list.
How do I organise samples or a tasting?
Samples can be sent out to any mainland UK address, once the options have been narrowed down. The cost of these will be removed from the final bill if you choose to go ahead with a celebration cake.
Tastings are held in person at our shop on All Saints Passage and are usually held around 2 months before the wedding (cheese is seasonal so it’s not possible to hold tastings much further in advance as our range is so regularly changing). We cannot host any tastings in December.
Tastings tend to run for up to one hour (though can easily be run in 30 minutes if you are decisive or in a rush!) and are charged at £20pp. Again, the cost of this will be removed from the final bill if you choose to go ahead with a celebration cake.
