  We love a trip to Seahouses and always come home with fish from Swallows and its always of excellent quality and we really like to make up a huge pot of kedgiree. The smoke house is right on the harbour too, its one of the last operational smoke houses in the region and has been running since 1858...we must support our local producers.

  A range of provenance proven, almost ready meals "ideal for busy people who have a love of good food". Sold in fine food stores, deli's and farm shops and also through their own online shop www.lookwhatwefound.co.uk There are nine dishes including Northumberland Cheese soup, Herdwick Mutton Stew, Cumberland Farmhouse Sausage Cassoulet, Smoked Haddock Pottage with Prawns and Mussels, Mushroom Stroganoff, Venison Meatballs, Wabberthwaite Pancetta and Beef in Black Velvet Porter. The packages tell you exactly where the ingredients came from and have a cheery photo of the producer on the front. My favourite is the Pancetta which I serve with pasta.
