CHEESE BOARD
A cheese board is always a welcomed addition to the end of every meal. I can make up a Yorkshire, an English or an International Cheeseboard. I can then serve individual cheese plates to each guest, place a cheeseboard on each table or set up a grazing Cheese station for guests to help themselves to as and when they like – the choice is entirely yours!
