Description
For over 200 years, Paxton & Whitfield have displayed a passion for cheese, fine food and wine. They pride themselves on sourcing and maturing the most exceptional cheeses. Winston Churchill once observed, “A gentleman buys his hats at Locks, his shoes at Lobbs, his shirts at Harvey and Hudson, his suits at Huntsman and his cheese at Paxton & Whitfield".
Britain’s premier cheese boutique was established over 2 centuries ago in London’s Aldwych market, where founder Stephen Cullum ran a cheese stall. He eventually moved his business to Jermyn Street to his loyal customers. It was here the reputation of his cheeses grew and it wasn’t long before his business was appointed Royal cheesemonger and supplier to the royal family.
Paxton & Whitfield offer a selection of 150 artisan cheeses. From massive 40kg wheels of Comte and Gruyere to full-bodied 25kg truckles of Cheddars, to wheels of creamy Gorgonzola and an assortment of coated goat’s cheeses, the sight and smells could not be more tempting.
This experience offers private hire of this historic shop for up to six guests. Enjoy a champagne reception on arrival. At this exclusive event guests are invited to sample five different styles of sparkling wine along with the best cheese matches from Paxton & Whitfield’s offerings. Take home a goody bag including a cheese selection and cheese tasting journal as a memento.
