Food champions of Northumberland
The Rolling Pig — Seahouses
A family run hog roast company, that have recently opened their new butcher and deli shop down the road from Emble Farms. A selection of home cooked ready meals, local ice creams, cakes and much more.
Swallow Fish — Seahouses
The home of the best kippers in the world!
The business is based in The Fisherman’s Kitchen in Seahouses complete with the original smokehouses, which have operated on this site since 1843. In fact, the site is even credited as being one of the possible places where the modern "Kipper" was actually invented!
Today we employ the very same methods of smoking as were performed on this site all those years ago. We use traditional oak sawdust which has no additives, preservatives or colourings of any kind and we let the natural flavours speak for themselves.
As well as smoked produce, Swallowfish also offer a wide range of fresh, seasonal fish from the north sea and provided by a close network of trusted suppliers. That way we are sure we can provide you with the very finest sea fish without any compromise.
Doddington Dairy — Wooler
The Doddington Dairy is situated on the Maxwell family's farm, nestled at the bottom of the Cheviot Hills in the Glendale Valley of Northumberland. The family has been farming at North Doddington for more than 50 years, and this is one of the few dairy farms left in Northumberland.
Chain Bridge Honey — Berwick-Upon-Tweed
Chain Bridge Honey Farm offers a fascinating insight into the lifecycle of the honeybee.
The museum is buzzing with information relating to every aspect of bees, honey and beekeeping. You can see the bees at work in a special glass observation hive, learn all about the bee with no sting and try for yourself some of our honey and beeswax healing ointments, luxury cosmetics and polish - and of course you can try our delicious honey.
Eleanor’s Byre — embleton
“One of those rare “soul” places that satisfies both the lofty spirit and the primal urge to shop”. Lots of beautiful gifts, coffee and delicious cakes. During the holiday season Embers Pizza is located in the car park selling some of the best pizza in the area.
lindisfarne Oysters — belford
The family-run enterprise was set up in 1989 by farmer John Sutherland after he noticed oyster shells littering the beach at low tide. The business is now run by Christopher Sutherland and his wife Helen.
“They are the very best organic oysters, and we are proud to be championing a top-quality product grown on our doorstep.”
R. Carter Son Butchers — Bamburgh
R. Carter Son Butchers are proud to have been the village butcher for 125 years. They have built their reputation by providing a personal service and always offering top class produce. All of their meat and sausages are of the finest quality and they work with local farmers to source their lamb, beef and pork.
They produce a wide range of homemade pies and their award winning bacon is cured and smoked on the premises.
Pilgrims Coffee — holy island
Their coffee is home-roasted in their own back garden and goes perfectly with one of their homemade cakes or scones. If it’s lunch you’re after, they have excellent soup, sandwiches and toasties, all made using locally-sourced ingredients. The coffee house is licensed too, so you can enjoy a beer (from a local brewer, of course), wine or prosecco if you’re not the designated driver.
