Recommend me a cheese board

Anyone seen a nice cheese board to feed a group of 7 after Christmas lunch and a few leftovers for Boxing Day?

Or, can anyone recommend what to have on a cheeseboard.

I know nothing about cheese, clearly.

General rule of thumb is

A hard cheese
A blue cheese
A rinded soft cheese
A soft cheese
A feature cheese

So if it was me

A really mature cheddar
Shropshire Blue/blue Stilton
A Brie or a camenbert
Some kind of garlic roule or goats cheese
A fruity/smoked/spicy cheese (probably pickled onion cheese because I love it!)

If you go to a deli or a store with a decent cheese counter (Morrison's/Booths/ Waitrose) they will be able to guide you.

Then you need grapes, a couple of decent chutneys, good quality crackers and some really nice salted butter.

Morrisons do really nice cheeses. Pasta has a good selection there. 20 - 30 g per person of each is a generous serving. Especially after a Christmas Dinner.

Thanks all.

Pasta, good selection. I'll go with that and take all the credit for knowing my cheeses Wink
