Justin has been complaining about our completely rubbish cheese grater this week. It’s quite basic and a bit ancient, to be honest. We use it almost every day for cheese or Fudge’s carrots (which he likes in his dinner!). Grating is currently an unnecessarily slow, slightly messy process so it’s an issue that needs addressing.

Here’s a short list of three we’ve identified, each with their own strong points. Number 1 is the classic grater – efficient, sturdy & robust – this one comes with its own collect & storage container. Number 2 epitomises form and function, a stylish addition to the kitchen with its copper detailing. And Number 3 is a clever collapsible model which folds away flat for storage – ideal for those with limited cupboard or drawer space – or perfect for camping or camper vans.
