Seasonality - December/January/February

Winter - While many believe winter in Northumberland to be a desolate time for food, the reality is that our producers deliver high quality, comforting food. And since it's a time to celebrate, we thought you'd want to know about the county's alcoholic drinks.
Fish & Shellfish - Fishermen are still catching prawns and the excellent round white fish out of colder waters as supplied by Ridley's Fish and Game. However, the real treat is smoked fish, something Northumberland is fast building a reputation for high quality, L Robson's Craster Kippers make a great Breakfast alternative.
Meat & Game - The game season is still in full swing and the Cheviot lambs are still being brought down from the hills. The independent poultry producers in Northumberland really come in to their own at this time of year, Blagdon Farm and Northumberland Poultry as can be expected. We sell incredible hams, bacon and Piperfield Pork's Chorizo is something not to be missed.
Alcoholic Drinks - This is the perfect time of year to sample Northumberland's warming drinks. The local micro-breweries produce award winning dark and pale ales, whilst the more adventurous connoisseur will really enjoy the selection of rums and whiskeys which will warm the insides on the coldest of nights, how about a bite of chocolate to go along side Coquet Vale can supply both. 
Winter Puds- Proof of the pudding, sticky toffee pudding or hot chocolate pudding or maybe you would like a J Donkins deep apple pie, all served with the best Acorn dairy Double Cream.
