Two nasty surprises.
I received a gift token for £25.00. I went though the list and chose cheeses that were priced per 100g, (about 4 oz) which is a reasonable price quantity for a taster. Our £25.00 would have purchased about 10 different cheeses. When we went to place the order, we got a nasty surprise and found that although the stated price was "per 100g", you could not order 100g, instead the minimum order was 250g. That reduced our initial selection from 10 to 4. We then got another nasty surprise when at the very end of the ordering process, we found that £6.50 was added for P&P. In the end we had to add more than £7 to our gift token, which made the four cheeses we had selected very expensive indeed compared with our local fine cheese shop which does allow purchases of 100g quantities. They were good cheeses that we are still enjoying, but we will still be eating them when they have passed their best because of the large minimum quantities. Serious improvements in information presentation are sorely needed. I certainly would not offer a gift token to anybody else.

Great selection of cheeses for my first order after visiting the shop in Lincoln.
Cheesey joy for elderly wrinklies

Only problem- how could we possibly choose a favourite?
Great choice of good cheeses
Great choice of good cheeses, and prompt fulfilment of order
Amazing cheeses!
Good selection, delicious cheeses. Very happy with our cheese choices. Not so keen on the biscuits, especially as they were a bit pricey. Excellent communications, delivery etc.

The cheese was delicious and interestingly different. Thank you for packing it so well and putting a freezer bag.
DHL left the cheese in the sun on our front door step. We have a parcel box right next to the front door. Tell them to use that next time....
This is the second time I have written this review. I see Trust pilot have sent a third request....

A Special Birthday Present
Ordered a selection of Lincolnshire cheeses as a present for our resident mouse. I was kept informed throughout despatch and delivery. The delicacies have been devoured with gusto and great appreciation, with special recognition given to the Lincolnshire Plum Bread.
Reliable, pro-active, and high-quality
As always, high-quality cheese delivered promptly. Exceptional service - when one cheese was out of stock, they reached out to recommend a suitable substitute, or a refund if we'd wanted one.
Great range,easy to order

Absolutely delicious cheese
Absolutely delicious cheese. Great choice. Always delivered quickly on a date of your choice.

Because I live on a remote island and any courier service is hopelessly delayed and slow up here, the Cheese Society went the extra mile and used Royal Mail- our only reliable delivery service for perishables. Josh, by email and wonder of wonders, an actual voice to speak to, went to extreme lengths to help me and the result was that they made an exception and used Royal Mail, so the cheese arrived in excellent condition and is being greatly enjoyed. We cannot rate either the cheese or the customer service highly enough.!!!
Great cheese
Great cheese, quick delivery and amazing team. I had to contact them to ask a question and they responded straight away. Very helpful! Thank you
The cheese was great but I could not navigate the website properly. Probably my lack of skill.
Hi, I logged on to your website easily enough and garnered all the relevant details I needed to proceed to ordering, however, I could not find the relevant link to further advance in the ordering process. I called the number provided for contact and spoke to a very polite and helpful gentleman who was surprised at the difficulty I encountered. He did not dwell on this but offered to process my order manually. I received the package of cheese the next day and was delighted to tuck in as the segment of cheese was already nicely matured.
Very efficient service
Very efficient service. We loved the cheeses ( smoked Lincolnshire poacher especially) My local source of delice de Bourgogne (my favourite) has closed so I tried the cheese society. We will definitely be ordering again.

Cheese is great anyway
Online purchase made easy.
Purchased an online voucher which, for a technophobe, can be a challenge. Not so using your website. The process was quick and easy. Thank you.
