1. Cut the cheddar into thick slices or chunks – it is the star of the plate.
2. Slice the ham and cut the apple into thin wedges.
3. Slice the pickled gherkins and halve the tomatoes.
4. Spread the lettuce leaves over a large platter as a base.
5. Arrange the components side by side in groups – do not toss them together.
6. Serve with buttered bread and a spoonful of mustard.
Tip: The traditional cold plate of British pubs – a matter of assembly rather than cooking. A good mature cheddar makes or breaks it.
