World Whisky Day Saturday 18th May

Join in the #WorldWhiskyDay celebrations on Saturday afternoon from 1:00pm with a wee sample of the first Whisky blend from the Northumberland distillers, Ad Gefrin, 'Tácnbora'

The Whisky has notes of Honey, Vanilla, Candied Citrus Peel and spices on the nose, whilst on the palate, you will pick up flavours of Sultanas, Cream Soda and Nutmeg. The finish lingers and coats the mouth with tastes of Honey, Vanilla and Sweet Citrus.

Ad Gefrin has re-awakened the Northumbrian tradition for Whisky distilling, that has slept for over 200 years. The brainchild of Co-founders Alan and Eileen Ferguson, the business is a world class, Northumberland Anglo-Saxon Museum and English Whisky Distillery.

It opened in March of 2023 and celebrates and showcases the unique heritage, ancient hospitality and contemporary crafts, arts and produce of Northumberland.

Every year, World Whisky Day is celebrated on the Third Saturday of May, which is this Saturday and we’re delighted to be welcoming Ad Gefrin to celebrate this year’s World Whisky Day.

Get BBQ ready

We’re here to help you make the most of your BBQ by helping you on that grill!

Here are some of our BBQ Top Tips

Let the BBQ heat up first
A common mistake is to start throwing food on the grill without giving the BBQ enough time to reach it’s optimal temperature! Coals: 30-40mins | Gas 10mins

Check you’ve got the right tools!
We’ve all accidentally lost a sausage down a grill or flipped a burger over the edge. The one bit of kit you simply must have is a decent pair of tongs – they give you the most control, and reduce the chances of dropping anything between the grills!

Get the sides right
Sides should never be an afterthought! They will make up two-thirds of what you eat if you’re trying to have something that resembles a balanced meal.

Thermometer = Life
Don’t get caught out with under or overcooked meats! Invest in a probe to ensure you get everything cooked to perfection!

What is the signature dish of Northumberland? 🍴

This week I want to let you into a little secret – but only if you promise not to tell anyone.

You see, the team at Turnbull’s have been working really hard on a new event, set to take place this September.

It’s the Turnbull’s Northumbrian Food Festival.

It will be a multi-fundraising event to raise thousands of pounds for local youth sports clubs while celebrating Northumbrian Food.

This week, however, in the midst of putting together plans for the event, a comment that was made on our social media intrigued me.

‘What's the signature dish of Northumberland?’

It set me thinking and I want to invite you to chime in too.

Wearing my Turnbull’s hat, I naturally want to put a Turnbull’s Pie and Northumberland Sausage to be on the list. I could be controversial and add Northumbrian haggis too.

But what else? Here’s my list so far:

Singing Hinnies

Pan Haggerty

Craster Kippers

Pease Pudding

Stotties

Fish & Chips

That’s my list so far. But have missed anything?

Over to you – I need your help.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
