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

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 the... 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

Nice cheese - if it ever turns up...

Ordered mid October for a "guaranteed" Christmas delivery. Received no further contact until I had to chase it up last week. So far I have received: one dud tracking number; two false dispatch confirmations; and no cheese. Since it's now gone 3pm on Christmas Eve, I'm guessing the "special delivery" it was supposedly out on today never happened.

AWOL order #101195: I want my money back.

EDIT 19/01/2025: This was refunded after the fact, but I never got an explanation from either the seller or the courier on how my order disappeared off the face of the earth. It's nice cheese but I'm not going to order online from them again, and will restrict any purchases to when I see them at food festivals etc; not worth a repeat performance.

Tasty cheese…

I have had a few orders from Mouse House. They are always well packaged, and delivered fast. They have a great range of flavours and types of cheese all sealed in wax allowing them to have long best before dates. My small criticism for the company is that there appears to be no communication from when you place the order till you receive the goods. It would be helpful to know the order is on its way with a n email. However I have never had an order go missing and never had an issue. Great company.

Company gone backwards

Company gone backwards
Ordered every year without fail however this year, heard nothing about my order, contacted them and again heard nothing
They have good marketing campaign but it regards to customer relationship it’s gone to the dogs - won’t use again

I placed an order on the 4th it arrived within the week. I placed an order on the 14th today is the 21st item still not despatched, spoke to them 18th def being despatched before the end of the week. Now Saturday no record of despatch or message from Royal Mail. Left two messages not had a call back. I’m a new customer and I’ve spent over £60 on cheese this month never again will I used this company now going out to find cheese as this was a gift. Went out to buy cheese from a local deli got back cheese on door step not great, still no notification from mouse house or post office notifying of pending delivery. I realise it’s Christmas but the website was taking orders up until 18th at midnight for Christmas delivery, maybe they should fulfill orders before taking new ones. Mouse house have now replied a month later and it does not help I have cheese coming out of my ears now.. I ended up with 12 truckles not ideal when only one person eat cheese in the house. Like I said I needed for a gift for 23rd but only needed half a doz

GREAT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH

I discovered the 'Mouse House' company after receiving a gift box for my birthday. Since then I have had a few orders to give as gifts and all recipients have been thrilled with their cheeses. The cheeses are delicious and in my experience the service is second to none, always delivered promptly. I will most definitely continue to use this company and look forward to maybe some new flavours in the future.

Wonderful Lincoln shop doing so well!

A great local Lincoln company with a huge range of flavoured cheddars. Super fast dispatch and delivery. I'm just gutted the horseradish cheese has been discontinued due to issues with horseradish! However I'm super grateful for having the flavour combination made by Mouse House, as without them I wouldn't know the delights of it!

Great Cheese

Ordered a few times as cheese is really lovely & plenty to choose from. I made a mistake on this order & I asked for it to be amended which was done straight away, without any question. Arrived super quickly

Again a wonderful order

Again a wonderful order. The cheese is lovely. Love the Moroccan zest and the chilli cheese!
I did my first order last November. I've lost count how many this year since.

Since I first saw your cheese on QVC

Since I first saw your cheese on QVC. I can honestly say I've never ever bought any other cheese. I love the huge variety of flavours. I love the caramelised onion and the guru. And mainly order direct from you. Just tried the BBQ with fried onion for the first time and it's delicious.
