The shop showcases the finest British cheese, wine and charcuterie helping to raise awareness of what the country has to offer and its talented artisan producers. Not only is this the perfect place to do your food shopping, but you can also enjoy a spot of lunch alfresco style.
Elle tries the GBC subscription box
GBC’s May subscription box
Unlike many other food deliveries, the wonderful thing about a charcuterie hamper is that it can chill in the fridge until you are ready to tuck in. The GBC hamper was so versatile! We got creative with our hamper and decided to have it as a dinner alongside homemade asparagus mimosa, Italian tomato salad, and herby Mediterranean orzo.
There was a marvellous combination of contrasting textures and colour within the selection box to really magnify the enjoyment of our delivery. Each product brought a truly unique flavour to the table, with no single item tasting mediocre.
Here were our favourites from this month's hamper:
- ‘Little Sussex’; A medium fat, mild soft cheese with a fluffy texture from ewe’s milk. This can be served as it is or served griddled with a fresh Summer salad.
- ‘Westcombe Cheddar’; The only firm cheese of this month's board, but it had a far more complex flavour. With almost caramelly, as well as nutty flavour, this cheese lingered for much longer than your plasticy supermarket bought cheddar!
- ‘Calcot Fennel Salami’; This was undoubtedly my favourite meat of the selection and I can understand why it is a best seller. This is sliced thick and contains herby, aniseed flavour notes.
- ‘Mushroom and truffle salami’; A rich and indulgent salami made with free-range Sussex pork, wild mushrooms and truffles; this Sussex-based producer isn’t shy in ensuring the truffle's flavour pops!
Also included:
- Burt’s Blue Cheese, Organic Cotswold Herb Brie, Beal’s Farm Bresaola. ’Hellfire Sticks’ (not too dissimilar from a posh Peperami!).
There are many more options to get your luxury fix during lockdown. Partake in one of GBC’s Virtual Tasting Session’s hosted by the masters of the trade, and learn more about the award-winning products delivered to your door! Can’t celebrate a friends birthday? Why not have a custom-designed hamper delivered as a surprise. Alternatively, choose from their wide range of products online to curate your own selection.

Meat that is reared and cured in the UK

From Highland Wagyu to the large range of salamis and a great selection of pates and chutneys to accompany.

What a pleasant surprise. Stumbled upon the venue during an event in Brighton marina. Amazing charcuterie boards to share with sussex wines. Favourites include their beer sticks and the charcoal cheddar. Great for stocking up on quality supplies for the kitchen.. oh and by their off cuts. Great for cooking stews at home. Highly recommend
