A first for Paxton & Whitfield, this Artisan Advent Cheese Calendar (£150 with free UK delivery) is the ultimate foodie advent calendar for 2021. The cheesemongers have carefully selected 24 artisan varieties for a delicious tasting journey - one cheese per day to savour in the run-up to Christmas Day. Dan Bliss, the cheese buyer for Paxton & Whitfield, says: "We'd wanted to create an advent cheese calendar for some time, but we wanted to make sure that we could make one that gave customers the best cheese and Paxton & Whitfield experience possible. After a lot of deep thought and experimentation, we think we've hit the right note for 2021." He continues, "This is an immersive cheese tasting and learning experience – each individually numbered advent box contains a factsheet on the inside with more information about the cheese, its maker and pairing or recipe ideas. Each Paxton & Whitfield advent box is beautifully presented and fully recyclable, with shredded paper inside and a minimum 75g cut of cheese, hand-wrapped in Paxton & Whitfield wax paper.

Five tips on how to ensure your caterer is acting sustainably
A typical British wedding produces one third of a metric tonne of solid waste and 14.5 tons of carbon dioxide in one day. To put that into perspective, annual carbon emissions per capita in the UK are around 9.1 tonnes. A large percentage of the waste comes from catering. In fact, an average of £488 worth of food is wasted at every wedding. There is a pressing need for change in how we approach weddings, keeping them fun, beautiful and memorable yet responsible.
Fortunately, more people today are turning to sustainable options, and this trend is here to stay.
Aiming to have a sustainable wedding catering experience does not mean sacrificing luxury and quality – it means catering wisely and creatively. You do not need to forfeit your personal taste and unique preferences when envisioning an environmentally conscious wedding.
