Mild cheddar should be available to you, & a good substitute as well. You can use flavorings instead of liquor, however, all of the alcohol will evaporate toot sweet.
The alcohol evaporates during cooking, so all you need is the flavor of the liquor.
Unfortunately I don’t know what you would buy in the UK to substitute those two flavors.
Sorry, I guess my answer isn’t much help.
Ordinary Kraft cheddar or any good softer style cheddar. You can buy brandy essence at most supermarkets. Don’t forget, though that cooking destroys any alcohol content in liquor & just leaves the flavor
for jack cheese….probably any mild white, medium body cheese would substitute…..a “farmer’s” cheese
as for the brandy…if you use a dry vermouth as a base for sauces, you will get a wine-ish flavor and the advantage is that the vermouth won’t go “bad” once openned…like a bottle of wine would…as far brandy…cognac…but without the alcohol…tough one there are alcohol free wines available but I’m not sure of an appropriate substitute for brandy….if you boil it down/simmer it for 8-10 min….most of the alcohol will boil off
