About

After working in some of the finest restaurants and hotels, including Cliveden, Claridges, The Lanesborough, Wiltons, Jumeirah Carlton Tower, The Bluebird… I decided to open a cheese and wine shop in 2010 named No2 Pound Street based in the picturesque Buckinghamshire Chilterns.

Whilst No2 continues to run, I mainly concentrate on my own business “Bucks Cheese Guy”. My mission is to spread the word on hand made artisan British cheese and champion those behind it. I do this by selling the finest cheese at handpicked proper artisan markets, teaching Academy of Cheese courses, and doing talks about cheese, with pairings of wine and other beverages.

I am available to book for exclusive tastings at any location around the World. My tastings are fun informative and really get people to focus on why we need to choose our cheese carefully.

Look forward to talking cheese with you soon!

James, The Bucks Cheese Guy.
