The Bristol Cheese Society: What greater worldly pleasures are there?

UPDATES

PLEASE NOTE: Our website is currently being reworked and updated, so don't be put off if things change!

UPCOMING YEAR: 2025/26 is beckoning and the society is starting to oil the rusting machinery once more to put on a year of exquisite bliss. Cheese tastings, wine tastings, fondue evenings, raclette (with our new raclette iron), trips to creameries, cheese making (the paperwork of last year is finally complete!), wine pairings and, of course, plenty of occasions to dress up with a glass of bubbly. We are developing a brilliant programme of events the year. See you soon!

MEMBERSHIP COMING: We shall release our membership in the first week of September.

UPCOMING EVENTS: The Cheese Soc GIAG — 1st Edition. Welcome Fair. The Cheese Soc GIAG — 2nd Edition.

PUB NIGHT: Starting back up again, every week or fortnight we will congregate in a pub for a relaxed evening of cheese, drink and merriment. See the page.

What do we do? We host events throughout the year where your membership will give you access to more wine and cheese than you could ever imagine. From cheese tastings to wine pairings, we explore the vast landscape of palatable delights!

Who can join? Total beginners to those who are totally crackers about cheese. For membership cost and details, press + Join This Group

THE CHEESE BOARD

President — James Burton

James, known by everyone as Archie, is a second year Engineering Maths student and founder of The Bristol Cheese Society.

As old-fashioned as they come, he is a fierce lover of cheese and a collector of everything imaginable. He is also immensely proud of a British camembert outshining the French at the British Cheese Awards and the World Cheese Awards.

Secretary — Louis Anscombe

Hello! My name is Louis and I'm a second year Biochemistry student and, in addition to being a member of the Cheese Board, I am Chair of the Student Council of the 2024/25 university year.

My passion for cheese comes from my french upbringing. Although I lived in Germany, I went to a french school and I spent many months in France for my holidays. There, I was exposed to the richness of the french cheese culture and I'm proud to be part of the Bristol Cheese Society. Let's get some french cheese in here!

Events Coordinator — Malena Montoiro Kelly

Malena is a second year biochemistry student. Born in Germany, she's half-Spanish, half-Irish and filled with that violent zest for life which governs all that she does; from salsa to skateboarding, from crochet to croquet, her breadth of experience and interests are without end.

In her role on The Cheese Board, Malena is the arbiter of event decisions and a splendid photographer.

Equality & Sustainability Officer — Lotty Bennett

Lotty is a second year Aerospace Engineering student who, due to her upbringing in Yorkshire, has a great love for all cheese but especially Wensleydale and Cranberry. She is also a passionate musician, and enjoys playing the flute and piano in the Jazz Funk and Soul society.

As the Equalicheese she hopes to help extend her love for cheese to as many people as possible, despite allergies or intolerances standing in the way.

Social Media Secretary — Henry Bretz

Hi, I'm Henry. 2nd year Aerospace Engineer. Lover of the outdoors, flying, good food and the finer things in life... such as sitting down for a cheese and wine night with friends.

Aside from being Social Media Sec on the cheese board, I'm Vice President of Athletics for 2024-25 and hold a membership to the University Air Squadron.

FAQ

Do you also do wine tastings?

Absolutely! Wine tasting and appreciation is one of our core objectives; as a result, you will see a variety of wine pairing evenings in addition to cheese pairing evenings.

Why is Cheese Soc so amazing?

Why doesn't the membership cover every event?

Do I need any knowledge?

Not at all! Lots of our members knew nothing about cheese when they joined (we hope that that is no longer the case!!).

Anything else?

Feel free to send us a message on facebook. Or, for a speedier response, via instagram or email.
