Red Berry Foods is owned and run by Angus and Stephanie Powell, a local family business, which endeavours to provide seasonally fresh, high quality, healthy foods, using the best of the locally sourced produce.
It is our philosophy that fresh, healthy & nutritious food should be available to everyone, but not at a price. We provide a range of made to order & freshly prepared, highly nutritious foods, delivered to your door at your convenience. Among our range of foods are home-style ready meals and side dishes; hand made, speciality breads; fresh, hearty soups bursting with flavour and baked goods such as quiches, tarts and cakes.
We prepare the majority of our food to order preventing the use of any form of artificial additive or preservative. Most of our chosen ingredients are sourced locally, usually organic and as fresh as possible. Due to this we can guarantee that what you eat hasn’t any hidden extras, only blends of the finest herbs and spices to tantalize your taste buds!
Many of those involved in the supply of our ingredients are small scale and of a specialised nature and therefore it is sometimes necessary to freeze some of the produce to ensure weekly availability and maintain the quality of the food. As our food has less food miles, when it is frozen, it’s frozen very fresh so as not to compromise the quality of the product.
Thornbeck Farm who are local suppliers of poultry & game and run by Stephanie’s parents, work on the same principles as Red Berry Foods. Supply is extensive within the locality to farm shops & retailers, restaurants and catering establishments. High standards of animal husbandry are essential to the final quality of the product. Birds reared on the farm are fed and cared for as naturally as possible with only the best organic, milled, corn to flavour the meat (all grown by local farmers). Recognition for this has earned the farm a place in Rick Stein’s guidebook to Food Heroes of Britain. Visit www.thornbeck.co.uk for further information.
Fruit, vegetables, herbs and berries harvested from Thornbeck and local producers are grown without pesticides, manufactured fertilisers and are in tune with the seasons and elements.
We truly believe that you will taste for yourself the dramatic difference this makes to the flavour of our food. Recognition of the values & ideals held by us at Red Berry has led to Stephanie’s role as resident chef/food consultant & menu planner on Tyne Tees ‘Love Your Home’ series of programmes.
Red Berry Foods create three, seasonal menus per year - Spring, Summer & Autumn/Winter. In addition, there is traditional Christmas produce for the holiday season.
Menus are available either by post or email. Free delivery on orders over £25.00 within 25 mile radius.
