Win the perfect thing for Father’s day - cheese

Normally I would say the perfect gift for fathers’s day would be a shed.

But our friends over at the Cheese Shed have put together a great cheese related gift pack that you sheddies can win.

It’s a well-known Law Of The Universe that all Dads like cheese, and only a short step form there to the realisation that the ideal Fathers Day present has to be a cheese gift box. And by an extraordinary twist of fate, The Cheese Shed has that very thing to hand!

Their gift box, designed with Dad in mind, features:

* An excellent hard cows’ milk cheese - either the gorgeous 500g Baby Menallack, strong, artisan cheese at its best, or a tangy 400g Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar;
* Black-eyed Susan - a 160g organic brie-style cheese from Daisy and co. This creamy delight is studded with black peppercorns;
* Biscuits to go with the cheese: a box of Millers Damsels;
* A bottle of Luscombe Organic Cider. The Shed being in Devon, what could be more appropriate than the Westcountry’s very own tipple?
* An assortment of Brownes Handmade Truffles. Because there’s more to life than cheese.

All packed in an immaculate hand-made presentation box with the Cheese Shed logo in gold.

shed load of cheese

of course the cheese shed is the official cheese monger for National Shed week.

Win a shedload of Tea - a years supply!

Our new tea based friends over at makemineabuilders.com have given us a shedload of tea to give away.

Builders have known it for years, a good, strong, refreshing cup of tea is the best way to quench a thirst. Now the British public can enjoy a real Builder’s brew with Make Mine a Builders; developed specifically for Builder’s Tea drinkers and tested by a panel of 300 Builders to get their seal of approval.

A good Builder doesn’t scrimp on quality tools therefore Make Mine a Builders is an ethically sourced tea made from East African leaves, the perfect balance of strength and refreshment.
