We often get asked for crackers and chutney to go with our cheese cakes and selections so here's our recommendation, split into different amounts for big gatherings. We aim for 4 crackers per person for your event, this will take into account that some people will have 6, others may not have any, but it should be a realistic amount for an evening do selection so there is no need to go under the numbers we suggest for a buffet as we haven't been over generous. if you're feeding half a rugby team, go up a notch or if it's after dinner cheese or you have other options going on, you could look a little lower.
If you're wondering why the prices have gone up a fair bit, well firstly everything has risen a bit, we've also had to add a bit extra on to account for the postage, but we've also upped the amount of chutney in each of the selections as we decided it was a bit low!
Each selection will consist of:
Peters Yard Original Crispbreads:
Wonderful crispbread, a huge favourite in our shops and rightly so! The most economical way of buying these is via a selection box, giving your guests the choice of plain, poppy seed and charcol and rye. All lovely flavours with subtle differences. About 78 crackers per box.
Millers Damsels Buttermilk
These are a lovely plainer cracker with a subtle but delicious buttery taste, great for those who want to put the cheese in the forefront of their taste sensation
Cassalinga Italian Artisan Crackers with Rosemary:
A lovely cracker with a sprinkle of salt and a hint of rosemary.
We recommend the Mousetrap Cheese Shop chutneys, we put in a selection from our most popular flavours, normally, Real Ale Chutney, Fruity chutney with cider and spicy tomato and caremelised onlion.
