Mitchells Taste Success

The richness and diversity of the north-east larder was celebrated at the Grampian Food Forum Innovation Awards last week - and we were absolutely thrilled to get our hands on an award!

Over 60 entries from 23 food and drink companies were sampled and assessed by the judging panel; Peter Bruce, managing director of Entier Limited, Lorna Murray, Local Food Sourcing and Technical Manager for Asda and Simon Cousins, series producer of BBC Scotland’s Landward.

Following the judging process, over 200 guests, including our Keith, attended the awards dinner, which was held at the Marcliffe Hotel and Spa in Aberdeen.

And beyond our wildest expectations, we received the Taste of Grampian Local Independent Retailer of the Year, which was awarded to a retail outlet that ‘champions local food and drink and supports other local food and drink producers'!

Winning this prestigious award, which was sponsored by SAC Food & Drink and Taste of Grampian was an honour, and is all thanks to the fabulous local producers and suppliers that have supported us over the last year.

If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you will have noticed that the reaction has been incredible - our feeds have been going absolutely crazy since we won!

Thank you so, so much for all the congratulations. We are incredibly proud to have won, and we are equally as proud to say that we offer a true taste of the North East.

PS. Here's some photos from the awards ceremony. Doesn't Keith look happy!?

Motherly Love at Mitchells

Mother's Day 2013 is fast approaching - so why not make your mum feel extra-special this year with a gift from Mitchells Dairy?

We have a fantastic selection of chocolates, flowers, wine and champagne, whereas if you want to get something a little bit different, we have a special Mother's Day Hamper, Strawberry Fare, which is sure to go down a treat in your household.

Priced at just £35, this selection of fruity delights is presented in a wicker tray basket, and includes Blossom Hill red wine and white wine, Whitakers chocolatesWalkers cherry cake, Beech's Strawberry Creams, Berry Scrumptious BerryFudge and Walkers Homebake Shortbread. 

If Strawberry Fare doesn't suit you (and we can't imagine why!) we can also make bespoke gift baskets, hampers and fruit baskets to suit any requirements.

Additionally, we also have some unique gifts, pictured below, which have been proving extremely popular in our store. 


If you have been on the Mitchells Dairy Facebook page recently, you will have noticed our locally grown Polyanthus Plants, which come in at just £1.25 each! They are really bright and beautiful - and are sure to put a smile on your mum's face this Sunday.

If your mum isn't a keen gardener, our lovely hardwood tea light holders could be the perfect gift. We have written about them before on our blog, but we really think these would make a delightful Mother's Day gift.

We hope we have helped give you some ideas for Mother's Day, but more importantly, we hope you all have a wonderful day shared with the most special women in your life.

If you want to buy any of these gifts or place an order for a bespoke gift, simply call into the shop, phone 01467 621389, email at info@mitchells-scotland.com or visit our website at www.mitchells-scotland.com.
