Cheese, wine and beer are the holy trinity of fermented food and we have all three here at Slate for you to choose a delicious present for your dad this Father's Day.
Give him the gift of a truly memorable cheeseboard - a selection of his favourite artisan cheeses with all the trimmings of small-batch crackers, flavoursome chutney, a bottle of wine or trio of local craft beers.
We have a super 'Cheese & Socks' selection bringing together two full-flavoured British cheeses, Double Barrel Poacher and Sparkenhoe Blue, with crackers and a pair of fun Happy Socks.
We also have cheese accompaniments and accessories as well as gift vouchers to give him the joy of shopping at Slate himself, either online or in one of our Suffolk shops.
If you are looking for a family gift from siblings there is membership of our Slate Cheese Club. Whether your Dad is a cheese connoisseur or simply enjoys a good cheese feast, the monthly arrival of a box of artisan cheese is a joyful treat long after Father's Day has passed. Each month he will receive a themed trio of British or European cheeses with complementary crackers and full tasting notes bursting with information about how and where the cheeses are made. We also like to include tried and tested pairing tips so they taste their very best.
All our cheese gifts and selections can be delivered direct to your dad's doorstep. You can order now and select your chosen delivery date at checkout, and add a personalised gift message so he knows who got their gifting spot on this year!
