The Campaign for Real food...
The ‘Oldfields Campaign for Real Food’ is geared towards encouraging consumers to eat, where possible, organic and / or locally produced food with our restaurants being the prime examples of how it can be done.
It's about passion...
We are passionate about Real Food and believe you, our customers, deserve nothing less than the best. We believe in locally sourced products as they’re fresher and healthier and are in huge demand at the moment as the UK population is beginning to further embrace an all round healthier lifestyle.
It's about being local...
All of the food on our menus is sourced from local suppliers where possible. Freshness and quality is something our customers not only want, but have come to expect. Why shouldn’t they have access to this type of food all the time, not just when they visit Oldfields?
It's about freshness...
North East based organic producers and local suppliers will benefit hugely from our campaign as it ploughs money back into the local economy. You will also reap your own benefits as locally produced food is normally of a higher quality as it’s fresher and tastes better.
It's about reducing food miles...
Reducing food miles is another main concern for us so we ensures the ingredients in our recipes, from smoked haddock, to organic vegetables and every last pinch of seasoning, have travelled the shortest distance possible to reach the our tables.
It's about you...
With produce so readily available now in the marketplace, we see no reason why others can’t follow suit. Organic meat at supermarkets is in general around 18% more expensive than organic meat from a farm shop – we believe people should know what options they have available to them. Creating fresh dishes using organic, locally produced food is something we feel strongly about. As well as caring for our customers we are doing something we really believe in and are devoted to getting the message across that this is something that is and should be achievable by everyone.
It's about Real, Honest food

Taste the North East at Oldfields
Wouldn’t it be good to be assured of the quality of your food? To really be able to trace where it’s from?
Sure you can eat really fresh locally produced food at home, but when eating out in a restaurant it can be a different story.
Can you be sure how fresh the ingredients are, or even where they’ve come from?
Alongside the standard evening dinner menu, both of our restaurants in Durham and Jesmond offer a Taste of the North East menu where every single item on the menu is locally produced so you can be assured of quality and freshness.
Depending on what is locally available and what is in season, dishes from the menu range from North Shields smoked haddock with a grain mustard cream and wild nettle salad to Mark Gray’s hay roasted mutton with Butterby’s organic vegetable and potato cassoulette.
