Paxton & Whitfield, the London cheesemonger established in 1797, has assembled four thoughtfully composed Christmas collections, each designed to suit different celebrations and appetites. The selections reflect the house’s particular expertise in English cheese, complemented by carefully chosen crackers, preserves and accompaniments.

The Little Box of Christmas contains selections for two, an intimate arrangement suited to quiet celebrations or as a gift for devoted cheese lovers. The English Cheese Feast brings together a generous spread of domestic cheeses, intended to anchor a proper Christmas cheeseboard and encourage generous sharing. The Clarence offers a broader collection for families who value the ritual of gathering around fine foods. The Christmas Cake presents the house’s most elaborate cheeseboard centrepiece, a tiered arrangement of rounds and wedges that transforms the cheese course into the evening’s focal point.

Each collection pairs cheese with artisan crackers from Paxton & Whitfield’s own range, including varieties flavoured with rosemary and olive oil, or cornish buttermilk. Accompaniments such as quince paste and cured meats nestle beside the selections, along with carefully selected wines for those who order the fuller collections. The whole arrangement arrives in the house’s distinctive cardboard packaging, marked with the royal warrant.
