View Our TowersWhy Choose a Cheese Tower?
Forget the traditional fruit cake that nobody eats. Whether you call it a cheese wedding cake or a celebration tower, it is a showstopper your guests will actually enjoy. Every cheese has been matured in our own rooms in Cambridge by our three-time Affineur of the Year, chosen for how it looks, eats and complements the other cheeses in the tower.
Our towers work beautifully at weddings, birthdays, corporate events and parties. They feed generously, look incredible in photographs, and the towers shown on this page were styled by the brilliant Sprigs & Stems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance do I need to order?
+We ask for at least two weeks notice where possible. This gives us time to select and mature the cheeses to perfection for your event date. If you need it sooner, give us a call and we will do our best to make it work. For peak wedding season (May to September), we recommend ordering as early as you can.
How many people does each tower feed?
+Our Celebration Cake feeds 6-8 people, the Scholar feeds 20-40, the Attenborough 30-50, the Newton 50-70, the Darwin 70-90, and the Granchester feeds 100-150 people. These serving sizes assume cheese as part of a wider meal or evening buffet.
Can I customise the cheeses in my tower?
+Our towers are carefully curated combinations that we know work together in terms of flavour, texture and appearance. Each tower is a set combination and cannot be customised. Check the individual product pages to see exactly which cheeses are included in each tower.
Is a cheese tower a good alternative to a wedding cake?
+Absolutely. A cheese wedding cake is one of the best decisions you can make for your reception. It doubles as a centrepiece and as the evening food. Your guests actually eat it, it photographs beautifully, and it gives people something to talk about. Many of our customers tell us their cheese tower was the highlight of the day.
How is the tower delivered?
+Your tower arrives as individual whole cheeses, carefully wrapped and packed in chilled packaging. We include simple instructions for stacking them. Most people assemble their tower at the venue on the day. It takes about five minutes.
Do you deliver nationwide?
+Yes, we deliver across England, Scotland and Wales. Your tower will arrive the day before your event (or on a date you choose) in temperature-controlled packaging to keep the cheese in perfect condition.
How should I store the cheese before the event?
+Keep the cheeses in their wrapping in the fridge until a couple of hours before serving. Take them out early enough to come to room temperature, which is when the flavours are at their best. We include full storage and serving guidance with every delivery.
What else do I need to serve the tower?
+Just a flat surface or cake stand, a cheese knife or two, and some accompaniments if you like - crackers, grapes, figs, chutney. The cheeses do the talking. We include tasting notes with every tower so your guests know what they are eating.
Can I decorate the tower?
+Absolutely. Many of our customers add fresh flowers, greenery, fruit or cake toppers. The cheese provides a beautiful natural canvas. The floral arrangements in our tower photographs were created by Sprigs & Stems, who we highly recommend if you are looking for someone to style your tower. Just avoid anything that might stain or damage the cheese rinds.
Can I taste the cheeses before I order?
+Yes. Visit our shop in Stamford and one of our cheesemongers will walk you through the cheeses in each tower. You can taste them, ask questions, and get advice on which tower suits your event. No appointment needed, just drop in.
What happens to the leftovers?
+That is the best part. Any cheese that is not eaten can be wrapped and refrigerated. It will keep for days and makes brilliant cheese boards, sandwiches, or cooking ingredients. Nothing goes to waste.
