Cheese Hampers

A cheese hamper from MakeHampers is built around real cheddar, not a token wedge tucked in beside the crackers. Mouse House cheddars carry it: vintage, smoked, caramelised onion and cranberry, with oatcakes, crackers and a chutney to go with them.

Every one is packed by hand in the UK and travels in a reusable insulated cool bag, so the cheese turns up in the state it left in. Free UK delivery on all of them, with no minimum spend. Browse the range below, or add a bottle with our cheese and wine hampers.

What Is in a Cheese Hamper

A cheese hamper is a gift box built around cheese and the things you eat it with. Ours pair Mouse House cheddars with oatcakes, crackers or biscuits, a chutney and, on the bigger boxes, a savoury snack. The cheese is the point, so it gets the room.

A cheese hamper typically contains:

  • Two or three cheeses, usually British cheddars in different styles
  • Oatcakes, crackers or biscuits to carry them
  • A cheese chutney or fruit preserve
  • A savoury snack or nuts on the larger boxes
  • Boxed by hand, with a gift card

Cheddar leads, and everything else is chosen to go with it. Sizes run from a letterbox cheese-and-biscuit box up to a luxury cheese hamper built for a party. The cheese stays the centre of every one.

The Cheeses

Mouse House and Croome make the cheddars, and the range is the reason to buy. Vintage for the sharp, long-aged flavour most people picture when they think cheddar. Smoked for depth. Caramelised onion for a sweeter, softer wedge. Cranberry for the Christmas end of the shelf. Croome's garlic cheddar for anyone who likes it strong. A good hamper carries two or three of them. That way the cheese board has contrast, not the same note twice.

These are proper truckle-style British cheddars, waxed and firm, not a spreadable tub. They keep well in the fridge and cut clean for a board, which is why they travel as well as they do.

What Goes With the Cheese

The rest of the box earns its place. Stag Stornoway oatcakes are the carrier of choice: plain, sturdy and made to hold a wedge without crumbling. The Kindness Bakery bites give a second texture for anyone who finds oatcakes too plain, and crackers cover the same job on the larger boxes. A Mrs Darlington's chutney ties it together. Cheddar this sharp wants something sweet beside it.

Cheese and biscuits, a chutney and a board: that is the classic spread in a box. Bread and grapes are the only things to add. Most people have those in already.

Cheese Hampers for a Gift

Cheese is a safe gift for the person who has everything. It gets eaten, and nothing sits in a cupboard afterwards. It suits a cheese lover, a house-warming, a thank-you, or the relative who is impossible to buy for but never turns down a good cheddar.

For a work gift or several going out at once, the corporate hampers handle multiple addresses and a message on each. For a personal one, a card goes in the box and the price stays off the packing slip.

Cheese With Wine or Beer

Cheese and a drink belong together, and plenty of people send the pair. The cheese and wine hampers match Mouse House cheddar with a red chosen to sit with it. If it is the bottle that matters most, the wine hampers lead on the wine and treat the cheese as the sidekick. And if beer is more their thing, the beer hampers put cheese next to craft cans instead. Same cheddar, a different bottle.
