Written by the company
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.

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.

Ordered this for my brothers Birthday was in formed day after due delivery date was delayed. Three days later was told they don’t guarantee delivery date and due to heat they were taking care of staff . Five days later I informed them if not delivered today I want a refund. The company could not deliver so gave me refund. Obviously this was still not ready for delivery. If this is for a special delivery occasion do not order from this company you won’t get it. I hate leaving bad reviews but on this occasion it’s absolutely warranted .

Not arrived on time 4 days ago email advising delay but would be on route within 24hrs and they would email me, 4 days later no email no orders. I had 2 orders here for 2 seperate people. This has left me apologising and promising that i did order them a gift. So upset by this

What is the point asking a preferred delivery date to then send an email saying there’s a delay! No answer to any emails or chat messages. I ordered as a birthday gift, had to purchase elsewhere and now I have an order somewhere in cyber space. You need to get rid of the preferred date option and just state that you’ll send it when you can be bothered. Utter rubbish customer service.
Follow up to the reply from this company,
You state you have no email from myself, yet I had a reply?

My order number CC79102, was placed on the 21.6.2026, 7 days later two mails that where not even responded too and several phone calls totalling 45 minutes waiting, just to be told they are busy.
I was told I would be notified when the cheese products where shipped. Nothing
The products have mostly a very short shelve life. I wished to cancel my order due to the above but can't due to the above. Very disappointed.

Sister ordered for my birthday treat, due to arrive 17th June. No show, no contact from company either to buyer or receiver.
Sister contacted company by phone on 18th June to find out what happened. Lots of excuses and promised to send by next week.
Timeless Selection arrived on 19 June by Royal Mail, cooler pack was warm but cheese was okay.
In summary, poor show for company not alerting buyer about delayed delivery, there is email these days, also need bigger cooler packs if delays continue to happen. It has been hot weather recently!

I can't fault the cheese but customer service not so good we are called a liar because the cold was to not put on the offer of hot maple cheese it pulls have been free if you spend £20 add that put the code in and you get that for free but I did not see where you can put the code when the phone up and asked about it he said he did I stopped the first time and he said don't deal with emails or messages about offers so I don't use the offers anymore because you can't use them

The cheese orders were delivered on time and were excellent value. I experienced a small problem (not the fault of Chucking Cheese) but the company took it upon itself to respond to my concerns rapidly and exceeded my expectations. Well done and thanks

Ordered a gift hamper for Father’s Day, when it arrived it was not the same cheese as advertised, unfortunately the cheese flavours that were sent is not something my dad would enjoy so he gave it away. When informing the company they refunded 10% which is not really satisfactory I would have rather they kept the 10% and sent the correct cheese!

I was looking forward to receiving my selection of delicious artisan treats mystery box, but unfortunately I ended up with 10 cheeses (2 xmas) and 4 x 20g chutney jars (3 the same). With the short shelf life this deal wasn't worth it for me and I wouldn't purchase a mystery box again.
I did have a good delivery experience.

The Chuckling Cheese Company is basically what happens when great cheddar develops a sense of humour.
They’re all about bold, slightly bonkers flavours—think black garlic, sticky toffee, even gin-infused cheese (which somehow works). The cheeses are rich, crumbly, and unapologetically punchy, perfect for snacking rather than fancy cheese-board etiquette.
Not every flavour is a masterpiece—some feel like a brave experiment gone rogue—but that’s part of the charm. It’s fun, indulgent, and impossible to take too seriously.
Verdict: Big personality, creative flavours, and dangerously snackable. A cheese lover’s adventure—with a few “what just happened?” bites along the way. 🧀😄

I ordered a specific selection of cheese as a Father's Day gift, based on my dad's tastes. When it arrived, 2 out of the 3 cheeses had been replaced with flavours that he would never eat. When I emailed to ask if they could send the correct cheeses, I got a robotic reply with a screen grab of the well concealed 'terms of conditions' that state that replacements will be made if certain cheese aren't available. They didn't care that it was a gift and made no attempt to rectify the situation. Awful customer service. If you're looking for online artisan cheese with great customer service, I suggest using another site such as the Cheshire Cheese Company who are more than happy to send replacements if the wrong cheeses are packed.
Update 20th June: their response below says everything, my issue wasn’t with the delivery but the products. They haven’t even read the review. As I said in my original review…avoid!

We've had the mystery box sets a number of times and have never been disappointed!
On average 5 or 6 truckles, a couple of barrels and at least 2 different varieties of snack. Not forgetting the mini chutneys.
Won't hesitate to order again.

The mystery cheese box was a great success, bought as a gift. It was a great surprise and caused a buzz as everyone was keen to check out the contents.
Value was excellent especially as it was on offer at 50% off

Reply from The Chuckling Cheese Company
As always the products are excellent value, taste delicious & there is such a wide variety of items and special offers to choose from. This particular order was for valued friends as a thank you and this company did not let me down. The recipients were very impressed.Have bought several gift hampers, mystery parcels. Would highly recommend this company.Absolutely love their products.

My 2nd mystery box disappointed with the box and dates on the cheeses

Reply from The Chuckling Cheese Company
Sadly I did not have the same experience as the review below. I ordered accidentally for the 26th of June delivery so contacted Customer Service services who advised they absolutely could not bring forward my delivery date. They’re very quick to reply to emails but apparently not so quick to pick the stock. Disappointed.
