TASTE OF GRAMPIAN 2009
Mitchells were delighted to launch their brand new "fabulously fruity" ice-cream "Blueberries & Cream" which went down a storm at the 10th Taste of Grampian held 6th June 2008.
Visitors, young and old alike, found the delicious combination of blueberries and cream irresistible - reinforcements were required by lunch-time to cater for the demand created by this innovative concoction.
Mitchells have manned a stall at the food festival since its inaugural year and are proud to have been part of a very successful day which promoted and showcased the very best of what the North-East has to offer in terms of food and drink.
Michelin starred celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli stopped by our stall after sampling, and loving, our hand-made oatcakes at the pre-Taste of Grampian dinner on Friday night. While there he also sampled our "Blueberries & Cream" ice-cream and the more recent addition to the Mitchells ice-cream stable of Crannachan - a raspberry and oatmeal sensation. Our Luxury Dairy ice-cream was also a firm favourite.
ALL 3 FLAVOURS OF MITCHELLS ICE-CREAM CAN BE PURCHASED FROM OUR SHOP IN THE HEART OF INVERURIE. WHY NOT PICK UP A PACK OF OUR DELICIOUS HAND-MADE OATCAKES WHILE YOU ARE THERE - WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU ALL TO OUR SHOP AND FINISH YOUR VISIT WITH A FLY CUP IN OUR AWARD WINNING TEAROOM.
Shop refitting |
We are delighted to be able to say that our shop refit has finally been completed and we would like to thank all of our customers for their patience during what has been a testing time for all involved. We did our best to remain open throughout but there were a couple of days when we had to close for health and safety reasons. The local contractors involved in the refit have been brilliant and as usual went that extra mile for us, so thanks folks.
We have created a brighter and fresher new shop in which to come but importantly still focusing on all that is good about local, in season food which is where we differentiate ourselves from the supermarkets - we offer value shopping for fresh local food and drink backed up by friendly local staff who know our customers and that is what makes us Mitchells.
Come on in and see what we have to offer - we welcome your comments as they are what help to meet your needs so please feel free to share them with us. Look forward to seeing you in the shop soon!

| Race for Life |
 |
| 13 of Mitchells employees, friends and relatives completed the Race for Life on Sunday 22nd June - the weather tried its best, but happily failed miserably, to dampen our spirits on the day. We managed to raise £1.015 for this very worthwhile cause as this is a disease which has touched all of our lives to one degree or another. |
| Local Awareness Visit |
| On 27th August, Mitchells will be welcoming a group of Grampian Food Forum members to meet our management team, browse around our newly refurbished shop, try out some of the delights our tea-room has to offer and have a "behind the scenes" look at what we do here at Mitchells which will allow the visitors to see for themselves how Mitchells manages to ensure that our customers come back again and again and again! |
