I love Mouse House cheeses. Always look great on a buffet table at functions etc. Had a minor hiccup with a recent order in that a brand new flavour had not made it off the production line in time... See more

Took a week before order was despatched, no communication to tell me when picked or likely delivery date. Good long dates on cheese received. Have had the cheese before so expect they’ll be good. Howe... See more

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

Slow delivery…

The Xmas order option doesn't make it clear when the order will be dispatched. I phoned to chase my order which is now over 5 days, only to be told there's nothing that can be done - 'I'm just one of thousands'. Not what I wanted to hear - not even a suggestion of putting in another order, for which I'd be happy to pay - for immediate delivery and cancelling and refunding the Xmas order. Lack of imagination and not helpful. And I'll still have to buy a set of cheeses to take away on my trip - but not from this company

Hello Ian,

I'm sorry to hear we have disappointed you. We launch Christmas Pre-Orders for our Customers who want to receive there cheeses as close to Christmas as possible. We are unable to check personal notes and these are bulk shipped on the W/C 11th of December to get this closer to Christmas. I apologise that we are unable to move it now as this is less than a week away and you order will be packed waiting for collection so we would have to find it to cancel it, which you can imagine we cannot do.

I will ensure the team make the dispatch date clear next Christmas to ensure this doesn't happen again. Your custom means the world to us, and we can't thank you enough.

If you want to reach out to the team on enquiries@mousehousecheese.co.uk

Am a first timer

Am a first timer, really pleased with this company's delivery regime. Not tried the cheeses, and have bought loads. Some as gift top ups, but many for me. Hope they are as great as the reviews state. Happy Cristmas.

I ordered 3 boxes of cheese off Amazon with an assurance they would be delivered next day. I am still waiting 3 days later, which has completely spoiled my plans. When I tried to contact the supplier I got an automated response saying if I don’t get it within 3 days ask for a refund. Very disappointed.

Hello Pamela, Have you got in touch with Customer Service as this is not the service we would want you to experience, we have a perfect dispatch rate with Amazon so this is most likely due to delays with Royal Mail. Please get in touch and we will of course send a replacement or issue a full refund.

Hello Marie,

So sorry to hear this, it seems like Royal Mail have damaged this in transit which is not acceptable. Please can you send an email to Cindy at enquiries@mousehousecheese.co.uk and she will resolve this straight away for you as we pride ourselves on our service and hate that this hasn't arrived in the correct condition.

Hope to hear from you.

Simply the best

We just love these cheeses the best best flavours ever! Texture, colour and flavours can't be matched by other cheeses outside of the Mouse House Cheese Company Haven't had one that we've not enjoyed. Good customer services.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I have bought from this site 4 times now. The cheese is lovely. The range of flavours is great but I absolutely LOVE "the guru". Its red Leicester and mango chutney. The chesse boxes arrive really quickly and are beautifully packaged and there is usually an intersting offer too. I highly recommend this site.

One happy customer

Having placed an order for the rainbow box (7 truckles) on the 2nd August, i was disappointed to find that two of the items had a best before date of just over 2 weeks. However after speaking with the supplier, who apologised profusely, i was offered the choice of a replacement or refund which was greatly appreciated.
Great cheeses & fantastic after service when something didn't quite go as expected.

Quick delivery of cheese & wine hamper

Very quick delivery of cheese & wine hamper which was greatly appreciated by the recipient.
Experienced some technical issues with website which complicated the order process (just one of those things, highlighted to the company) but once in contact with Mouse House Cheese Company they resolved the issue swiftly and satisfactorily.

Lovely products ruined by a leakage

I bought from this company for my mum’s birthday present and, while the products are great, I was disappointed to find out that the box had leaked once my mum opened it. I did not open the box myself upon receiving it and wrapped it immediately. So when it came to my mum’s special day, I felt let down in realising that the chutney lid was not properly shut and ended up ruining the box and the cracker packaging. It pains me to have to complain and not leave a 5 star review, but I couldn’t let this slide.
