Downies of Whitehills launch at Mitchells...


Mitchells are pleased to announce that Downies of Whitehills are opening a fresh fish counter within their Market Place Grocery this week.

Keith Whyte, Managing Partner of Mitchells said "We have successfully sold Downies packaged products from the chill in our shop and cooked their fish in our Tearoom for many years.  This new counter is a natural progression for Downies to offer customers a wider range of their fresh locally landed fish and award winning products. We are delighted that Downies have chosen The Dairy as their location within Inverurie and we very much look forward to working alongside Downies, another long established Aberdeenshire family business, in this way."

Launch Day
To celebrate this addition to The Dairy’s Grocery shop, an official opening of the fresh fish counter will take place on Saturday 29 October at 2.30pm with special offers and tastings throughout the day. Please come along and join in the fun.

Downies of Whitehills offer a huge and delicious range of fresh fish. They have won awards for their outstanding Cullen Skink Soup and Fish Pies, which you will be able to buy in store at Mitchdells. Also, keep your eye out for the 'catch of the day'.

Mooriel's acting debut!


Mitchells beloved cow Mooriel is making her acting debut in the Flying Pigs production,Silence of the Bams at His Majesty’s Theatre Aberdeen from Wednesday October 12th until Saturday October 22nd. The theatre production will see our very own Mooriel making an appearance on stage.

It would appear that Mooriel is becoming a bit of a Diva. Flying Pig’s stage manager Keith Donaldson said "we’re taking good care of Moorial – she’s currently stabled in the basement of HMT, warm and dry, enjoying listening to Nigel Havers staring in Basket Case above her head". We are pleased to hear that she is enjoying herself and hope she 'breaks a leg'

The Flying Pigs theatre group's latest production has been described as having a 'darker tone than previous shows Desperate Fishwives and How to Look Good Glaikit'. You can catch Mooriel and all the cast of The Flying Pigs starting tonight. The show will continue on until the 22nd October.

For tickets to the show or for more information about the production please call 01224 641122.

We would love it for you to tell us if you go to the show and if you spot Mooriel on stage. Please let us know by commenting on our Facebook page.

World's largest Coffee Morning and Mitchells homemade Victoria Sponge...

Last Friday Mitchells took part in the World's Largest Coffee Morning that is held by MacMillan Cancer Support. The event stretches across the UK, with hundreds of people hosting coffee mornings and donations on the day are made to Macmillan.

We were delighted to take part and had a great time. We ran the Macmillan raffle/donations in the Dairy Tearoom last Friday to help raise awareness for MacMillan Cancer Support.

It is such a great charity that is close to so many people's hearts. We would like to give a BIG THANKS to all who came and took part in the raffle. David Grant was our lucky raffle winner. His prize from Mitchells was a homemade Victoria Sponge. Well Done David (pictured right), we hope you enjoy it.
