- Woombye triple cream brie with pickled beetroot, raspberry and almond pesto
- L’Artisan organic Mepunga Gruyere, vintage cloth-bound cheddar Welsh Rarebit
- Baked Le Conquerant Camembert with thyme and garlic
- Dreaming Goat Dairy chevre curd with mandarin peel, homemade gremolata and puffed rice
