There’s something magical about a Northumberland summer. Whether you’re building sandcastles on one of our beautiful beaches, exploring ancient castles, wandering through forests or enjoying a family walk in the countryside, every adventure is made even better with great food to share.
This summer is an especially exciting one for The Running Fox, as we celebrate being officially welcomed into the Taste of Northumberland programme, a recognition that showcases the very best food and drink experiences our wonderful county has to offer.
Being part of Taste of Northumberland is something we’re incredibly proud of. It reflects everything we’ve always believed in: freshly prepared food, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, and a genuine passion for sharing the flavours and hospitality that make Northumberland so special.
To celebrate, we’ve created our Summer Deal, an easy, affordable way to enjoy a delicious family picnic without the hassle of preparing one yourself.
Perfect for beach days, country walks, family adventures, picnics in the park or simply making the most of the sunshine, your picnic is freshly prepared by our team and ready to collect before you head off on your adventure.
