About The Chuckling Cheese Company

Written by the company

The Chuckling Cheese Company | Great British Artisan Cheese

A family-run artisan cheese company based in Skegness, Lincolnshire UK - The business was started in 2012 by husband & wife, Stuart & Emma Colclough. It was later incorporated as The Chuckling Cheese Company Ltd in 2015

The husband and wife duo, Emma and Stuart Colclough set out on their cheesy adventure hosting market stalls at local events around the United Kingdom. During this time is when the cheese team began to grow and soon become notorious for Flavoured Cheddar and our widely developed range of unique flavoured cheese. Offering over 40 different flavours.

We’re not just a cheese company, we also have a wide range selection of chilli jams, craft beers, vodkas, coffee syrups, fudge bars, sweet meringues, and lots more. In 2016 we opened our first Chuckling Cheese Shop in the Skegness Hildred's Centre, then in the next two years, we opened two other stores. One in Doncaster Frenchgate Shopping Centre and another in Middlesbrough Hill Street Shopping Centre. In 2020, we grew the company further by opening two more shops, in Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Brierley Hill near Birmingham and one in Metrocentre in Gateshead near Newcastle. At our shops, you will find an extensive product offering, such as baked goods, cheese sampling, and a freshly baked cheese toastie.

Visit a shop near you and meet our company mascot, Munchie Mouse.

To this date, we still remain a family-run business that has a wide range of quality products to offer our day-to-day customers as well as Trade and Wholesale Customers, alongside offering a range of Corporate Gifting options.

We keep ordering from The Chuckling Cheese so they must be doing something right. The cheeses are very tasty with a good and varied selection. The pickled onions we keep coming back to as well - 3 jars with each order. Customer service is helpful and efficient on the odd occassion I have had to contact them.

Ive made several orders over the last 2 years and have yet to be disappointed. Cheese is amazing. I buy hampers at Christmas as gifts and every family have all said the same that it’s banging.

Excellent

Excellent. I’ve now had several orders from the chuckling cheese company. I don’t buy from anywhere else nowadays. I even give cheese as birthday gifts! In theory I give the apple chutney too….. but it never actually gets that far as I love it and eat it with so many different things.

What an amazing company

What an amazing company. Brilliant customer service. The cheeses are so tasty and yummy. As for the chutneys they are delicious. Delivery is always as requested. Really well packed . I haven’t had anything that as a family we haven’t liked. It’s great to have such a good selection of flavours to choose from.

Check the use by date!

The pork scratchings I ordered had only a one month use by date. This seems a rather short date to me and wasn't stated on the website. I had to throw the jar away so my advice is to check use by dates when your order arrives. Customer services were rather disappointingly unhelpful.

You just gotta try these 10/10

Easy ordering from their website and very competitive prices. Such a variety of cheese and gifts. Oh! Not forgetting the Doughgirl box of amazingly delicious pies and cookies. Absolutely gorgeous, so tasty, great value for money and so filling. Highly recommend these and the tasty cheese and the Pork scratchings!! Yummy to me and my family but not the weighing scales. 🫣 Very friendly and helpful staff

I have made 2 orders

I have made 2 orders. Both arrived on time and on predicted date or 1 day before.

Pork scratchings are high quality! Cheesy nibbles are excellent. Beer is good. I have not yet tried the pickles.
The cheeses imho vary. The Cranberry Cheese is not so pleasant as Supermarket Wensleydale Cranberry. Smoked cheeses are good.
I will use this company again when I need some of their products.

Amazing cheese and lovely company!

Amazing cheese and lovely company! My second order arrived recently and I am happily chomping my way through all of the lovely flavours - be warned it is difficult not to!

Vintage cheddar, smoked cheese, pigs in blankets, ginger - I've tried so many and have never been disappointed. This is my go-to company for cheese now, I wouldn't consider buying from anywhere else.

I picked delivery dates when ordering and both orders arrived on my chosen date.
