Picnic Like a Brit: 5 Luxurious Cheese Pairings for the Perfect Summer Spread

July 16, 2025Shropshire Marketing

There’s nothing more quintessentially British than a summer picnic – the rustle of a gingham blanket, chilled rosé in the sunshine, and, of course, great cheese. Whether you're heading to the countryside or your local park, elevate your outdoor gathering with these five luxurious yet fuss-free cheese pairings. All proudly British, all seriously delicious.

1. The Creamy Classic

Cheese: Godminster Organic Vintage Cheddar Heart
Pair With: Mrs Bridges Chutney for Cheese + Stockans Thin Orkney Oatcakes
This organic vintage cheddar is smooth and mellow, shaped as a heart for a charming centrepiece. Its richness is beautifully balanced with the sweet tang of Mrs Bridges chutney and the crunch of traditional oatcakes.

2. The Fiery Favourite

Cheese: Snowdonia Red Devil
Pair With: Cradoc’s Gluten-Free Chilli Ginger & Cumin Crackers + a chilled cider
For those who like a little heat on a hot day, this Red Leicester is infused with Habanero chillies and spices. It’s vibrant, bold, and a conversation starter. Pair with warming ginger crackers and a crisp cider to cool things down.

3. The Countryside Charmer

Cheese: Cornish Yarg Whole Wheel
Pair With: Tracklements Green Tomato Chutney + a loaf of crusty sourdough
A true artisan British cheese wrapped in nettles, Cornish Yarg is clean, crumbly, and surprisingly delicate. Serve with a spoonful of rich green tomato chutney and fresh sourdough for a rustic spread that feels straight from the farm.

4. The Smoky Sophisticate

Cheese: Snowdonia Beechwood
Pair With: Cradoc’s Leek & Caerphilly Crackers + dried figs
Naturally smoked over beechwood chips, this cheddar has a mellow, sweet depth that’s effortlessly refined. Add subtle sweetness with dried figs and earthy crackers for a bite that lingers in all the right ways.

5. The Sweet Finish

Cheese: Snowdonia Ruby Mist
Pair With: Cradoc’s Pear & Earl Grey Crackers
End your picnic on a sophisticated note. Ruby Mist, infused with port and brandy, offers a velvet-smooth finish. Paired with semi-sweet, bergamot-fragranced crackers, it’s dessert in cheese form.
