Aww, thank you so much for your kind words! 💛
Our small but mighty team of geeks works hard to bring you the best of British (and beyond) fromage, so it means a lot to hear that everything - from delivery updates to the tasting notes - helps make the experience a five-star one. We care about the little details, and it’s truly lovely to know they make a difference.
Most importantly, we’re delighted to hear the cheeses are always delicious! 😋

We always do our best to proactively resolve any delivery problems to ensure orders arrive on time, or at least within our 48-hour freshness window, and we prioritise and escalate things with our courier partner whenever needed.

Xmas cheese debacle
Tried to set up a subscription last year but couldn't choose vegetarian cheese only so gave up. Got an email regarding Xmas packs so thought I would try again. Talk about nightmare before Christmas! Five different packs on offer so began the laborious task of looking at each pack then trying to find each cheese in the pack to look at vegetarian or not. After not getting much information that way I clicked on the FAQ which didn't help then on the get in touch button which took me to a random page. I have given up again!

Hi Richard,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback - we really appreciate you giving us another try.
I’m very sorry to hear how frustrating your experience was when trying to check which cheeses were vegetarian, and that the “get in touch” link didn’t take you to the right place. That’s absolutely not the experience we want for our customers, especially at this time of year.
You’re absolutely right that we previously offered the option to exclude non-vegetarian cheeses from subscriptions. Much as we’d love to still offer that level of customisation, we’re no longer able to provide bespoke selections. Our monthly boxes are built from a carefully curated, seasonal range - and with only a limited number of artisan vegetarian cheeses available, we found we couldn’t consistently guarantee enough variety or stock to keep a veggie-only box running reliably. Making the tough decision to simplify our range helps us focus on the quality of the cheeses we do offer, but we completely understand that this doesn’t meet the needs of all our veggie customers, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.
Thank you as well for highlighting the difficulty in finding dietary information on our website. Your feedback is spot on, and our team will be looking into how we can make this much clearer going forward.
If here’s anything else we can do to turn this experience around, we’d really love to help. Please feel free to reach out at hello@thecheesegeek.com.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope we might have the chance to improve things for you.
Best wishes,
Jen

Hi Rosie,
Thanks a million for the five-star love!
We’re so happy the cheese made such a lovely gift - that’s exactly the kind of experience our team fusses over each day. From hand-cutting every piece to wrapping it with care, we want every present to feel special.
Thrilled it hit the mark!💛

Hi Vic,
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review- and for the four stars!
You’re right, we are a little on the luxurious side, and we totally understand noticing the price. We work exclusively with small-scale, artisan makers who handcraft each cheese in tiny batches, and our team cuts and wraps everything fresh on the day it’s sent.
It means the world to us that you still enjoyed the quick delivery, the careful packaging, and - most importantly - the cheese itself. We truly hope you felt it was worth that little extra. 👑

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for the lovely five stars!
We’re chuffed knowing your gift landed exactly when it should and made your friends so happy. Every cheese we send is hand-picked, cut fresh on the day, and wrapped with an embarrassing level of care by our cheese-obsessed geeks - all so moments like this can happen. We’re thrilled your gift hit the spot!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your review 💛

First subscription delivery - wonderful!
First delivery of a subscription and it was wonderful! Amazing cheeses, a great range of types and a decent amount to work through together in a few sittings.
I added some crackers and chutney/jams to the first order and they were perfect.
Love the pairings suggestions too so we've definitely upped our cheese game.
Easy to set up and I think a very reasonable price for what seems like a very well thought out service.
Looking forward to the next delivery!

Hi Laura,
Thank you for this glorious five-star review! We’re over the moon that your first subscription box delivered the cheesy magic.
Our team really does hand-select every piece with care, cutting it fresh on dispatch day so each box feels like an experience in itself. Hearing that you enjoyed the pairing ideas makes it all worthwhile.
Can’t wait to send you the next cheesy adventure! ✨

Hi David,
Thank you for the five stars - and for coming back to us! We’re so glad the ordering felt easy and that our team could jump in quickly with any questions.
We pride ourselves on keeping things friendly, human, and helpful behind the scenes. And of course, every cheese is still cut fresh and checked over by our slightly obsessive artisans before it leaves us. We’re delighted the quality keeps you returning!

We completely understand that our cheese is a bit of a luxury, and we always aim to make sure it feels worth the price. Each month our team hand-selects, cuts, and packs some of the finest seasonal British cheeses.

The customer service is amazing.im new to this brand and had a query with a specific cheese bought in sainsburys. The tema have thoroughly investigated it and been amazing. The cachel blue cheese is out of this world! I am now waiting on a selection of other ones coming from the online store. Can't wait to try these as we ate all obsessed with some good cheese and crackers especially this time of year!! Must mention Jen who is absolutely over and above with her customer service ! From now on will be buying direct from the website

Hi Stuart,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review.
We're really sorry for the confusion and disappointment you've experienced, and we understand how frustrating it must be not receiving your order when expected, especially as this has happened more than once.
We've looked into things and reached out to you directly with an explanation. In short, it looks like your charge and delivery dates have fallen out of sync. This can happen because charge dates always fall on the same day each month, while deliveries are timed based on your most recent box.
If a delivery date has ever been changed in the past, it can create a knock-on effect over time. We're currently working on improving our system so charge and delivery dates stay better aligned, but in the meantime, we've offered a couple of ways we can fix things for you now.
If there's anything else we can do for you, we'd love to know. We're here to help.
Thanks again for your review - although it's disappointing, we're grateful for the feedback, and I really hope we can make things right.

Delicious cheese and a near-perfect experience
The cheese is excellent and the shopping experience was essentially perfect.
Dinging a star for: clearly a cheese in our order was out of stock and was substituted (though this was not told to us prior to receiving the delivery), and information on the substitute cheese was not provided.
It’s hard to be at all mad as, firstly, I understand that stock shortages happen, a similar cheese was substituted, and it was delicious. Just writing this to say, if cheesegeek is chasing a perfect customer experience - that would be my definition :)

Hello,
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🫶 We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed picking out your yellow stuff, and that it tasted great, too!
Due to the artisan, producer-led, small-batch nature of our range, all of our cheeses are subject to availability - so thank you for understanding that, on rare occasions, we may have to substitute an item in your order.
Next time, we'll be sure to give you a heads up about any substitutions made. We're really grateful for the honest feedback - it's what helps us get better for our lovely customers.
Thanks again!
