Paxton & Whitfield was first recorded as a partnership in 1797, but its origins began in 1742 when Stephen Cullum set up a cheese stall in Aldwych market.

As London became increasingly affluent Sam Cullum (Stephen's son) moved his cheese business closer to his wealthy customer base, near to Jermyn Street where there is still a shop today. He also took on two new partners - Harry Paxton and Charles Whitfield. Ironically it is their names, not his, which grace the shop fronts now. Today Paxton & Whitfield are proud to supply Buckingham Palace, and hold the Royal Warrant to His Majesty King Charles III, having first received the warrant to Queen Victoria in 1850.
