Good choice of products although some hamper items might not have been available. The only issue is the inadequacy of timely order tracking, although the delivery was actually on time

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service - went above and beyond to resolve an issue that I'd unintentionally created. They were so thoughtful. We won't be ordering cheese hampers anywhere else again! Wonderful quality of products and prompt delivery.

Utter disappointment

I placed an order to send cheese as a gift to my dad, but unfortunately I missed the house number on the address. Despite having the correct street name and postcode, the parcel was returned to them by Royal Mail. What’s really frustrating is that I was never contacted about this — no email, no call, nothing.

After waiting a month with no delivery or update, I had to chase it myself. When I finally called, I was told they “don’t inform customers” when orders are returned and also “don’t issue refunds” in these situations. I found this response completely unacceptable.

To make matters worse, I was then asked to pay an additional £11.99 for postage just to have the order resent — despite already paying once and receiving no communication at all from them.

The lack of customer service, communication, and flexibility here is really poor. Mistakes can happen, but how a company handles them is what matters — and this was handled badly from start to finish.

Thank you for your feedback.

We do send two order confirmation emails for every purchase, and these clearly state that customers are responsible for checking the delivery address and notifying us of any errors before dispatch. Unfortunately, in this case, the address provided was incomplete and no amendment was requested.

Due to the perishable nature of our products, we are unable to resend or refund orders that are returned because of incorrect address details. In most cases, parcels are disposed of by Royal Mail before they are returned to us, as they cannot be redelivered.

That said, we do understand that genuine mistakes can happen. As a gesture of goodwill, we cover the cost of producing a replacement product, and only ask customers to pay the additional postage required to resend the order.

While we appreciate this situation is frustrating, it is important that delivery details are checked carefully at the time of ordering, as this is outside of our control once dispatched.

Great cheese selection

Easy order process and prompt delivery. Working my way through the trickles, love the Orange & Whiskey cheddar.

Customer service is terrible

Customer service is terrible. Tried to cancel before it dispatched as it was taking ages and wouldn't arrive in time. Told I couldn't as they had send it to the warehouse for packing and apparently have no way of contacting them. But it would be sent the next day guaranteed. It wasn't. When I contacted to ask where it was I was told they didn't even have what I ordered in stock so do I want to wait or have a refund. I chose a refund. Haven't had a refund but they are contesting the dispute I started with my bank. They obviously need the money. I have bought this cheese from their stands in shopping centres numerous times but won't be any more and advising others to avoid them

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.

All orders are processed through our warehouse system to ensure accurate packing and dispatch, which means once an order is in this stage, it cannot be canceled immediately. We always aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible and provide updates to our customers.

In this instance, it appears there was a stock discrepancy, which is rare but can happen. Once you requested a refund, our team processed it according to our policy. If there is any delay with the refund, we encourage customers to contact us directly so we can resolve it promptly.

Mouldy cheese!

I’m pleased to say that the company re-considered their position since I added my review and have since sent me a replacement pack of cheeses and I thank them for this.
Received a gift of 4 cheese truckles for Christmas. When opening the first, it was mouldy through the whole truckle. Despite sending photos of the product, best before date (June 2026) and the lot number, I was advised I can only have a voucher towards a future order. Apparently it is too expensive to send a replacement! I am staggered that a company would take this approach when providing an inedible product. I have no intention of spending any money with a company that clearly values its customers so little.

We’re glad we could ultimately make things right and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Their customer service is exemplary

Their customer service is exemplary. Something went wrong with my delivery (not their fault) and they have been faultless in their response, at what has probably been the busiest time of the year for them. I have just received a replacement. I will certainly be buying from them again.

I ordered cheese from mouse house and had problems on the side of Royal Mail .
But this was resolved by a lovely lady called Marie she resolved my issue with humour and professionalism.

Cheeses are also nice

One thing I would suggest is when anyone makes an order through mouse house direct or by a 3rd party is to supply a tracking number that will help the customer know when items will arrive .

But other then that
Thank you

Order sent elsewhere

I ordered and paid through Paypal (a site that automatically completes your delivery details). My order did not arrive. I contacted Mouse House Cheese who basically said 'we sent it to the address on your order'. This address was not mine, or anyone I know (as suggested by them). Someone has some lovely cheese at my expense. Disappointed with Mouse House approach. I was felt to feel like I was trying to steal some of their stock. Not good customer service.

Always enjoyed the cheese truckles at Christmas, tis year chose the red leicester & mango chutney. Unfortunatey, could only taste an over-powering taste of curry, unable to taste the cheese or mango chutney, so wouldn't recommend this flavour

Poor customer service and failed delivery.

The company encourages to place orders in advanced so I did order on 26 of October.
Part of my order was delivered around 15 th of December but unfortunately with one of the boxes missing so I wrote to the company an email.
They have promised to make sure to send a replacement not later then 21 st but they didnt. after another email, they promised to send the replacement via special delivery for 24 th and again failed. Completely unprofessional customer service.

I made an order on the 14th of December, received a receipt via email, then nothing, didn't receive any updates as to when my order had been despatched and was starting to worry when it came to Christmas week and my order was still showing as processing! 22nd of December the postman turns up with my parcel! Had no email to advise of despatch and my account was still showing as processing! Customers want to be kept informed. The cheese is lovely, just a shame you don't have better system in place to keep your customers updated and it would have been a 5 star rating.

The product is great and we appreciate that. But ordering through the website is confusing and it is not always clear that an order has been registered and the correct address noted. Seems to get there in the end but that side of things could be improved.
