Four brilliant cheeses, properly paired drinks, something crunchy and everything you need for one extremely good night in.
The Classic Festive Riot is where Christmas gifting stops being polite and starts being genuinely enjoyable.
It isn’t a basket of festive odds and ends. It’s a Cheese Riot in a box: exceptional cheese, drinks selected because they actually belong together, stories worth sharing and a playlist designed to keep everyone away from the television for a bit longer.
Ideal for two people. Generous for one. Shareable with three or four if everyone has recently eaten and can be trusted around cheese.
A full Christmas line-up spanning crumbly, creamy, deeply savoury and properly blue.
Expect artisan British cheese, a beautifully aged continental heavyweight and the sort of Stilton that makes crackers feel underdressed.
The Beer or Cider Riot — £55
A selection of independent beers and/or cider chosen to work across all four cheeses.
Wine or Fizz Riot — £72
A bottle of carefully selected wine that can genuinely travel across the entire cheeseboard, fresh enough for the lighter cheeses and structured enough to stand up to the big festive finish. We found it!
No mysterious “house wine.” No bottle chosen because the label looked Christmassy. Proper pairing only.
A properly good snack
Crackers
Cheese Riot’s recommended order of attack
Straight-talking cheese and drink stories
Serving instructions
A Christmas playlist
A guided pairing experience
Sustainable chilled packaging
A donation to the UN World Food Programme
Normal hampers leave people with twelve jars, three types of shortbread and absolutely no idea what they’re supposed to do with any of it.
The Original Festive Riot gives them an evening.
Open the box. Put the music on. Pour the drinks. Follow the pairings. Argue about the best cheese. Discover something new. Accidentally finish everything.
That’s the gift.
Couples who deserve a better night in
Parents who have survived Christmas Day
Friends who already own enough candles
Hosts who don’t need another bunch of flowers
Cheese lovers
Drink lovers
People who claim not to be cheese lovers but keep eating all the cheese
Anyone difficult to buy for who still enjoys food, drink and joy
Add a half-bottle of port to bring out alongside the Stilton or stick on an extra bottle of prosecco for celebration reasons. OR, do something bloody lovely - this year we’re teaming up with The Archer Project who support people experiencing homelessness across Sheffield. You can help out by adding on a £5, £10 or £20 donation to support their work - we’ll stick it in a pot, add it all together and hand it over to them in Christmas week, all of it. <3
Christmas orders close on 16 December, or until we sell out. (Did we mention there’s ONLY 60???) Orders available for delivery from December 1st, please let us know the date you’d like delivery if different than Christmas week.
The main national Christmas dispatch begins December 17th. Your cheese will arrive chilled and with a guaranteed use-by-date to be perfect for Christmas day, and beyond! Please do let us know if you have a certain date you are hoping to enjoy your Full Riot, this helps us to ensure we dispatch at the appropriate time. Full tracking information will be included. Please refrigerate the cheese as soon as it arrives, then follow the enclosed serving instructions before beginning your Riot. (IE - DON’T EAT COLD CHEESE!)
Contains milk and gluten. Depending on your chosen version, drinks may contain gluten, sulphites and other allergens. Full allergen information is included and can be requested before ordering.
Exact cheeses, drinks and snacks may change if a maker experiences a Christmas supply issue. Any replacement will be of equivalent quality, size, character and value, and will still be properly paired.

Join the Riot. Eat the cheese. Save the world.
