About us
Gourmet Charcuterie. Locally Sourced. Unapologetically Indulgent.
Welcome to The Cheese Cartel. Dorset’s home of high-end gourmet charcuterie, crafted for weddings, events and private celebrations that deserve something far from ordinary.
Born from a deep obsession with cheese (the good stuff, not the supermarket kind), we’ve made it our mission to create unforgettable edible moments, from lavishly styled charcuterie boards to perfectly curated cheese platters. Every board is built to impress, and every detail is intentional.
We’re not just catering. We’re creating a centrepiece.
“A fantastic experience!”
“The Cheese Cartel created an absolute showstopper for our wedding, the charcuterie boards were insane. Guests are still talking about. Every bite was delicious, the styling was flawless, and the team were a dream to work with. It felt more like a work of art than catering. Truly unforgettable.”
— Sophie & Jamie, Married in Dorset, 2024
Locally Sourced, Beautifully Styled
Our ingredients are sourced exclusively from local Dorset producers, from award-winning cheeses to artisan charcuterie, seasonal fruit, freshly baked bread and handmade accompaniments. This is sustainable indulgence at its finest.
And while the produce does the talking, presentation is our secret weapon. Think rustic boards, layered textures, wild florals and seasonal colour palettes, styled on-site and always event-ready.
