Not everything we make makes it onto our shelves...

Our 'Turnbull's Provenance Club' is where our butchers get to showcase some of their favourite creations. Every month, members receive an exclusive box packed with carefully selected meats and local produce – and many of the products are made exclusively*for the club and aren't available to buy in the shop.

For £50 a month you'll discover something different every time.

Next month's box is 'The Butcher's Bench', where four of our butchers have each chosen one of their favourite dishes to share with our members.

If you'd like to find out more or join the club, click the link below.

We'd love to welcome you: https://northumbrianhampers.co.uk/products/the-provenance-club?variant=51590418694491&selling_plan=693985509723

🥩 Team Pick Tuesday

This week's pick comes from Anne...

"If you're looking for an easy meal that feels a little bit special, I'd definitely recommend our Chicken Breasts filled with Brie & Cranberry."

Part of our 'Simply Cook' range, they're hand-prepared by our butchers, Chicken Breast Fillets, filled with Creamy Brie and Cranberry Sauce, wrapped in Streaky Bacon, then finished with our Sea Salt & Lampong Pepper seasoning and a little extra Cranberry on top.

I like to cook mine at 180°C, covered with foil for around 35 minutes (just pierce a few holes in the foil to let the steam escape), then uncover for a further 10–15 minutes to crisp up the bacon.

The Brie melts into the cooking juices, creating a delicious sauce that's perfect spooned over the chicken.

Serve with new potatoes and seasonal vegetables for a simple, comforting meal that's full of flavour.

Have you tried them yet? We'd love to hear what you serve yours with. 👇

🍞 Meet the Maker Monday

This week we're introducing Andrew from Bread & Roses, an artisan bakery right here in Alnwick.

Every loaf is made using traditional baking methods, quality ingredients and plenty of patience. The result? Bread that's full of flavour, has a wonderful crust and keeps beautifully for several days.

Here at Turnbull's you'll regularly find Andrew's:
🥖 Seeded Sourdough Boule
🥖 White Grain Levain
🥖 Five Grain Levain

At weekends we also stock his Rye & Caraway Sourdough, the impressive Miche loaf and his traditional baguettes (baguette de tradition). Fresh deliveries arrive Tuesday to Saturday, and once you've tried one, you'll understand why they're so popular.

If you haven't discovered Bread & Roses yet, we'd highly recommend giving one a try. Slice what you don't need and pop it in the freezer – it toasts beautifully whenever you're ready for it.

Supporting local makers. Sharing great Northumbrian food. ❤️

🥚 Today's Food Hall Tasting...

If you love a proper cooked breakfast, you're going to want to try this! Our Scotch Egg of the Week is packed with all the flavours of a full English.

Made with our own sausage meat, we've added Bacon, Black Pudding and even Baked Beans, all wrapped around a perfectly cooked Egg and coated in Golden Breadcrumbs.

It really does taste like breakfast in every bite!

We'll be sampling them in the Food Hall today, so why not call in and see what you think? If they become a new favourite, you can always take a few home for lunch, a picnic or an easy snack.

We'd love to hear what you think!

🍊 It all started with a simple idea...

When fourth-generation butcher John Turnbull suggested adding a little orange marmalade to a traditional pork recipe, we'll admit there were a few raised eyebrows.

But after plenty of tasting (the best part of the job!), the verdict was unanimous.

Our new Marmalade Pork Sausages and Marmalade Pork Burgers have arrived - and they're absolutely delicious. Made using our new Turnbull's 1880 sausage recipe, the marmalade adds a gentle sweetness that perfectly complements the flavours of the Pork Sausage . They're a little different, unmistakably summery and perfect for the barbecue.

Of course, every new recipe needs a tasting panel...

Meet Murphy, Kit and Dougie, our three newest "taste testers", named after the seventh generation of the Turnbull family. Their butchery skills may need a little work, but they're extremely enthusiastic whenever food is involved!

At 78, John is proving you're never too old to come up with your next great idea.

If you're looking for something a little different this week, why not give John's latest idea a try? We think he might just have created another Turnbull's favourite.

Available now in the Food Hall.

🔥 Amy & Emma's Hot Counter Takeover! 🔥

This Thursday and Friday, Amy and Emma are taking over the Turnbull's hot counter... and they've come up with something we think you're going to love.

Introducing their take on a 'Chilli Dog'.

They've started with one of our delicious Hog Roast Sausages (Extra Large!), made with pork, apple, red onion and sage, tucked into a freshly baked hot dog roll from the Alnwick Bakery. Then they're smothering it in a rich, homemade beef chilli for the perfect finishing touch.

Yes, the sun might be shining, but great food has no seasons - and a proper loaded hot dog is one of the great tastes of summer. Perfect after a morning's shopping or if you're looking for an easy, satisfying lunch.

We'll be serving them Thursday and Friday from 11am until 2pm (or until we've sold out!) If you're looking for an excuse to pop into the Food Hall this week, we think Amy and Emma have just given you one.

Who's tempted to give Amy & Emma's 'Chilli Dog' a try? 🌭

🥩 Team Pick Tuesday

This week's pick comes from Butcher Rachel...

"If you're looking for an easy midweek meal, I'd definitely recommend our Chicken Tikka Breasts. They're packed with flavour and couldn't be much simpler to cook."

Part of our Simply Cook range, they're made with two chicken breasts, coated in our tikka seasoning and topped with a rich tikka sauce. Simply place on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25–30 minutes. I like to cover mine with foil for the first 15–20 minutes, then remove it for the final 10 minutes to let the top colour nicely.

Serve with rice, roasted vegetables or a side of broccoli for a quick, tasty meal the whole family will enjoy.

Have you tried them yet? Let us know what you serve yours with! 👇
