Good morning and Happy Saturday! We hope you've had a great week.

We've had a cracking new delivery from including three top-notch beers that we know you’re going to love.

Whether you’re a fan of something crisp and classic or something a bit more adventurous, we've got you covered.

We have top ups of the vibrant "Tropic Haze" Session IPA and the wonderfully balanced "Deified" Vienna Lager. But the star of the show this week, and brand new to True North, is an absolute belter of a NEIPA, "Solaris" ☀️

They’re the perfect way to treat yourself after a long week, so why not pop along and browse the new arrivals today.

We’re open all day and look forward to welcoming you. Cheers! 🙂

☀️ School Holiday Opening Hours ☀️

As in previous years, we will be closed on Wednesdays for the rest of the School Summer Holidays, to allow us to enjoy some extra time with the family!

We'll be back open on Wednesdays as usual from week beginning Monday, 7th September. So, our first Wednesday back is 9th September.

Thank you for your understanding! Our regular opening hours remain exactly the same, so please feel free to pop along and see us to stock up on some Summer treats!

Good morning and Happy Saturday, we hope everyone has had a splendid week!

Today is a very special day at the shop! It is our 4th Birthday!

We officially opened our doors on August 1st, 2022, choosing this date because it marks both Swiss National Day and Yorkshire Day - two places that mean a lot to our family.

It has been an incredible four years, and we feel proud of how far we have come.

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has visited us, supported us, and encouraged us over the last 4 years. Your loyalty has kept us going, and we truly love being a part of the Spennymoor and wider community.

We also want to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful artists, crafters, makers, and food and drink producers who have worked with us over the years, we are very lucky to stock products from such talented creators!

As always, we never rest on our laurels, and there will be plenty of new and exciting things coming over the next year, and a little bit of restructuring too. But for now, we'll enjoy and celebrate how far we have come.

There is always something new to see here, alongside all your old favourites, so why not pop along today and celebrate with us? We look forward to welcoming you!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! We hope you’ve all had a fabulous week! It's been another warm one!

Can't be bothered spending hours in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove in this warm weather? We have the solution!

Here's THREE amazing products we sell at True North that will cut your prep and cooking time from hours, to minutes!

SA SAUCES
These amazing little pots are a huge hit with our customers. Highly concentrated sauces that you add to cream, creme fraiche, or anything else you fancy, and simply heat through to create an amazing quality and delicious sauce in mere minutes. Add to steak, fish, vegetables, pasta, whatever you like! If you've not tried these before, you're seriously missing out!

SPICY MONKEY
Using recipes picked up from around the world, these amazing curry sauces pack a flavour punch and have that homemade curry taste that feels like you've spent half a day making it from scratch! With varieties and spice levels to suit all tastes, these are the ultimate time saver. Restaurant quality curry at home, in minutes, at a fraction of the cost.

MAZZEH SPICE
Offering a slightly different twist on curries, we have the spice mixes from Mazzeh Spice. These are original Parsi curry recipes that have unique flavours and come from traditional family recipes passed down the generations. The amazing 'Mums Curry" is one of our bestsellers. Just add a few simple ingredients and you have a unique meal ready in no time!

So don't get all hot and bothered in the kitchen this Summer, we're here to make life easier, without sacrificing on flavour!

It's taken roughly 4 years to get to this point, but this week, we did a thing!

Yes, we finally launched our very own website for True North Emporium! https://truenorthemporium.co.uk

It's been a labour of love, and something we were determined to do for ourselves, and we're delighted to say that we've managed it!

So take a look around, poke it and prod it and see if you can break it. We hope you can't but please do reach out to us with any comments or feedback about it.

We're excited to share even more publicly what it is that we do, and to share the love for all our wonderful suppliers and the products they make.

Oh yeah, and just like buses, you wait for ages and then two come along at once - we're also proud to share with you a second new website, for our 'in-house' brand, Polaris Designs https://www.polarisdesigns.co.uk

Someone has been a very busy bee!
