Fishin' You a Merry Christmas

Fancy something other than roast turkey this Christmas?

If so, you might like to indulge in some fresh fish from Downies of Whitehills for your Christmas feast!

Downies Fish counter, in-store at the Mitchells Grocery, offers a delicious range of freshly-caught, quality Scottish fish, hot and cold smoked fish, as well as Downies award winning Cullen Skink Soup and Fish Pies.

The members of Downies staff within Mitchells are more than happy to arrange for orders to be taken for any unusual requests, as they pride themselves on being able to source a variety of seafood given plenty of notice.

But as you can see from the picture on your right, you will need to get your hands on an order form before the 22nd Dec.

That's because Downies' fishing boats will not be heading out to sea and the counter will be closed from the 22nd December until the 8th January.

So what are you waiting for? Why not make the most of these great offers and bring something new to the Christmas dinner table this year?

You never know - Downies’ fish could have you converted for life!

Wood You Look At That...

At Mitchells Dairy, we are always keen to try our hands at new things, but sometimes our hidden talents even surprise us!

After an elm tree blew down in Judy's dad Patrick's garden, Keith and his three sons decided to use their imagination - and started sanding and oiling the elmwood to turn it into hardwood boards!

Only after they tidied the garden, of course.

As you may or may not know, natural wood prevents bacterial growth, making these boards ideal for use in a kitchen environment as a general chopping board.

Due to their beauty though, they also find a place on the table as cheese boards, cake platters, carving boards and bread boards.

Whatever you decide to use them as, they really do make a lovely gift - and they are selling really well in the shop in the lead up to Christmas.

You never know, if the boys keep improving, we just might start making bespoke wooden boards to customers' own design and measurements!

Below, you can see Hamish Whyte, Judy and Keith's eldest son (and part of the 5th generations of the Mitchell family) busy in his workshop making the boards. On the right, you can see our handmade hardwood boards on sale at our shop in Inverurie.


If you want to purchase one of our hardwood boards, you can simply call into our shop in Market Place, Inverurie.

Mooovember at Mitchells

The male members of the Mitchells Dairy team may look a little bit different this month - that's because they will be growing moustaches for the Movember campaign!

For anyone who is not aware; the aim of Movember is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

In order to do so, men across the world begin the 1st of 'Movember' with a clean shaven face, then for the entire month, each participant must grow some facial hair from scratch.

Since its humble beginnings in Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement - in 2011, over 854,000 people around the world got on board, raising £79.3 million.

The funds raised in the UK are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and their men’s health partners, Prostate Cancer UK and the Institute of Cancer Research.

For the rest of November, or Movember as it will now be known, the Mitchells team will chart the progress of their moustaches with regular photo updates on our blog, Facebook and Twitter.

Here is a picture of Keith with his two-day old moustache. He looks like he could be capable of growing some fine moustachery, doesn't he?

Over the next four weeks, we will be with Keith and the rest of the team every step of the way as they raise some hairs, and awareness, for Movember.

You might also want to keep an eye on Mooorial’s features as well, as she may consider supporting the men by adorning a mooo-stache.

If you want to keep up to date with our Movember campaign, follow us on Facebook and Twitter and remember to keep checking our blog for weekly updates.

You can also visit Keith's Movember page and donate to him by clicking HERE.

Mitchells' Hits The Headlines Again

As many of you are no doubt aware, Mitchells Dairy hit the headlines earlier this year after we won the Health Promoting Retailer of the Year award at The Scottish Grocer Awards.

Well, our name is up in lights once again, as The Scottish Grocer, Scotland's leading monthly magazine for the convenience retailing sector, has featured us in its jam-packed October edition!

Claire Amber Young travelled up to Inverurie to meet Keith and Judy and find out about Mitchells' history, ethos and passion for fresh, healthy produce.

In the article, which can be read here, Keith explains: "Providing shoppers with healthy, fresh products is something that has always been important to us."

He continues: "It's a big part of our ethos. People are definitely taking more of an interest in what they are eating now. They want products that are fresh, local and good quality."

As Amber Young points out in the article, one recent development has strengthened our increasing reputation as a provider of high-quality, local produce.

Our new fresh fish counter, which is run by local specialist Downies of Whitehills, offers shoppers an extensive range of fresh fish and seafood, as well as expert advice on preparation and cooking fish.

Discussing the fish counter, Judy says: "It is really appealing to our foodie audience and was a natural thing for us to do. We took an underproductive area of the store and we're now driving customers into it."

As the article points out, our involvement in community health and well-being doesn't stop at the shop door. We continue to be a supporter and sponsor of community events like the Gairoch fun run and 5k, 10k and half marathon events, as well as helping out with the local rugby club and local schools.

Since Mitchells was founded in 1928 by Elijah and Agnes Mitchell, we have been committed to supporting the local community and providing the very best local produce.

As the article indicates, that commitment remains as strong as ever.

Get Monty's Maggie's Menus at Mitchells

One of Mitchells Dairy's most loyal customers, The Ferguson Group, has helped produce a charity cookbook - and we are proudly selling it in our shop to help raise funds for Monty’s Maggie’s Appeal.

Monty’s Maggie’s Appeal, which is jointly run by the Elizabeth Montgomerie Foundation and Maggie’s Centres, is aiming to raise £3 million to fund the building of a Maggie’s Centre in Aberdeen.

And as a fundraising initiative, Ferguson Group, one of the world's leading suppliers of containers and accommodation to the offshore energy industry, decided to produce a cookbook which would give a broad spectrum of recipes from celebrities and celebrated chefs from around the world.

The cookbook, Monty's Maggie's Menus, features recipes from; Ed BainesMary BerryTom Kitchin, Colin MontgomerieCarol SmilliePhil Vickery and many others.

Scottish golfer, Montgomerie, who founded the Elizabeth Montgomerie Foundation along with his family in 2007 in memory of his late mother, says: "I hope that the variety of these tried and tested favourite recipes will provide you with a source of inspiration whether you are cooking for family, friends or a special occasion."

Whoever you are cooking for, many ingredients for the recipes in Monty's Maggie's Menus can be purchased from Mitchells' grocery.

For example, if you are planning to make the Chocolate Crème Brûlée, it would be delicious if made with Mitchells' double cream, while the Sticky Toffee Pudding would be just perfect if served with Mitchells' Luxury Dairy Ice Cream!

If you are making the Salmon Minute Steaks with Crushed Jersey Royals, which is pictured to the right, why not purchase salmon from the Downies Fish counter within Mitchells.

For the month of October, Downies have a special offer at their fresh fish counter - fresh salmon for only £8.90 per kg!

As always, we are happy to help source specific items for customers if they are not readily available at Mitchells or Downies.

Monty's Maggie's Menus would make a beautiful gift, but most importantly, all proceeds from sales of Monty's Maggie's Menus will go direct to Monty's Maggie's Appeal.

Cupcakes & Coffee for Macmillan Cancer Support

The World's Biggest Coffee Morning, Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event, is this Friday 28th September - and at Mitchells, we will be doing our utmost to raise money for people affected by cancer.

Since its origins in 1990, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning has raised over £60 million in total for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Just last year, 51,000 people signed up to coffee mornings across the UK, raising a staggering £10 million - and that number is expected to increase even further this year.

To celebrate The World's Biggest Coffee morning, The Dairy Tearoom will specially bake a range of delicious cupcakes, complete with green icing.

We will then donate the proceeds of the sale of these cakes, alongside any teas and coffees bought with them, to Macmillan Cancer Support.

If you are joining in The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning this year, and are hosting an event at work or at home, we would love to know what you have planned.

Using Macmillan's tweetmap facility, we found out that there are lots of exciting events happening in and around Aberdeenshire on Friday, including coffee mornings at Hoodles Playbarn and Coffee Shop and Meikle Wartle Village Hall.

Let us know what you are doing - and when Friday comes, we want to feast our eyes on what you and your friends have been baking.

Simply upload your Coffee Morning pictures to the Mitchells' Facebook page, or if you would prefer to upload your picture on Twitter, send the picture to @MitchellsDairy.

Make sure you include the hashtag #coffeemorning, and if you want your event to be featured on Macmillan's tweetmap, include the first part of your postcode eg #AB51.

If you can't join us in The Dairy Tearoom on Friday, we hope you’ll take the time to get together with friends, family and colleagues and raise lots of money for Macmillan.

After all, by making time for what really matters, you'll be helping to improve the lives of people living with cancer in the UK.
