Heaton Mersey Market
The North Star road show pitched up a stall at the Heaton Mersey Farmer's Market last Sunday and had a great day.
Deanna and Adam set up a colourful two-table stall, featuring some of the wonderful produce we sell in the shop. Specials on offer were the fantastic range of Peanut Butter & Co. American peanut butter (as featured in this very early blog post) and also our range of truly excellent juices from Chegworth Valley, a favourite supplier of ours and one we've been stocking (and selling out of!) since we opened four years ago.
Other stock highlights from the shop also made an appearance and were soon selling strongly, but by far the best sellers on the day were the pies and cakes that we make and sell at the delicatessen. Our Burgundy Beef, Welsh Lamb and Thai Chicken pies sold by the crate load, as did our home-made chocolate, coffee and walnut and carrot cakes, chocolate brownies, caramel pecan blondies and raspberry and blueberry bakewells.
I bet you're sorry you weren't there, aren't you! Well don't despair... these treats are all available daily at the delicatessen, along with the best cup of coffee available for miles around!

North Star Named Checked #2
A nice mention for North Star in the 19th of July issue of the South Manchester Reporter - with photo - in an article detailing our nomination for two awards in the forthcoming Manchester Food & Drink Festival. The article features an interview with Deanna who comments on Chorlton having become a really wonderful destination for Manchester foodies.
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Manchester Town Hall on October 15th.
If you've not already voted (for us, obviously!) please do so via the link on the right. We sincerely appreciate your support.
North Star Birthday Cakes
Ahh! Deanna's daughter, our very own Katie Bo, had her first birthday on Saturday, and mummy laid on a fantastic party. Here is the centre-piece of the spread - a cake every bit as delicious and pretty as the birthday girl herself!
North Star Delicatessen really excels at producing bespoke, home-made cakes for any occasion. Our fantastic, freshly made in-store cakes - carrot cake, chocolate cake, the gluten free lemon almond & polenta cake and our coffee and walnut cake - are all available to order whole. Just as easily we can create pretty much any flavour cake you like and ice and decorate it to your specifications. All we require is at least 24 hours notice.
So, if you're looking for a real talking point for your party table, why not contact us directly?
National Vegetarian Week - 21st to 27th May, 2007
Not necessarily something I'll be participating in, nor something that North Star - with it's selection of particularly fine charcuterie - will be promoting, but National Vegetarian Week is something that any self-respecting food blog should mention. So.... consider it plugged!
