Sussex Charmer is the marriage of two very separate cheese production methods, each one ancient and prestigious in its own right. Combining the creaminess of a mature farmhouse cheddar with the zing of an Italian-style hard cheese, this versatile cheese is a stunning addition to the cheese board. Star of the Waitrose 2025 Christmas advert.

We were both delighted and honoured that Waitrose chose to feature Sussex Charmer so strongly in their amazing Christmas TV advert with Kiera Knightley and Joe Wilkinson. It was the cheese that they fell in love with over the Waitrose Deli counter.
Sussex Charmer is the marriage of two very separate cheese production methods, each one ancient and prestigious in its own right.
Combining the creaminess of a mature farmhouse cheddar with the zing of an Italian Style Hard Cheese, this versatile cheese is a stunning addition to the cheese board. In 2008, it won Best New Dairy Product at the largest cheese awards in the world, hosted in Nantwich, Cheshire. It has since gone on to win a further 12 Golds at these International Cheese and Dairy Awards and claiming Best Catering Cheese in Show in 2014 and 2023.
In 2017, it was awarded Best British Cheddar at the prestigious Quality Food Awards.
Sussex Charmer has the perfect taste credentials to complement fruit of any description. Its long taste profile in the kitchen soon becomes a chef’s best friend. Endowed with great meltability, it adds a sublimely creamy taste when grated over pasta. Our famous signature dish ‘Charmer on Toast’ has no rivals, as many will vouch!

Interesting and frustrating.
Saw the advert on TV. It featured Waitrose cheese deli counter.
Went to Hove store.
No. Sorry we don’t stock it on the delivery counter. Try the cheese aisle.
None there.
Asked staff. Yes we had 2 delivered this morning. Oh! They have been sold.
We have 3 ordered for tomorrow if you come very early.
Communication is wonderful.
Went to a farm shop and bought some.

Bookham Harrison never disappoints, they always supply quality products with excellent customer service.
Caroline W –
Cheese is great. However I specifically asked for a longer shelf life as I put your cheese in my holiday cottage for our guests and to advertise your products. This time, there was only 4 weeks shelf life. Not very happy.
Sandra H –
Fabulous service and amazingly tasty cheese.
Chris B –
