Catering pod at business park near Alnwick, Northumberland
Adele Johnson, a 40-year veteran chef, has opened a catering pod called *The Real Taste of Northumberland* at Hawkhill Business Park near Alnwick, serving homemade meals with locally sourced ingredients. The venture offers breakfasts, burgers like the smash burger, sausage rolls, and outdoor seating, while also providing catering services for events, driven by rising restaurant costs.
Adele Johnson, owner of *The Real Taste of Northumberland*, has launched a catering pod at Hawkhill Business Park on the A1068 near Alnwick, Northumberland. With 40 years of culinary experience across pubs, restaurants, and events, Johnson now operates a roadside venture serving homemade breakfasts, lunches, and street food using local ingredients. The pod’s menu includes a signature smash burger made with steak mince, crispy bacon, cheese, chips, and homemade slaw, alongside homemade cakes, sausage rolls, and a new pork, chutney, and cheese sausage roll. Outdoor seating is available, and the pod is easily visible with a large flag marking its location at the entrance to the business park. Johnson cited rising restaurant costs as the reason for shifting to a smaller, flexible model, eliminating travel expenses while maintaining high food quality. The catering pod remains open to the public, offering a welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. In addition to its roadside service, *The Real Taste of Northumberland* continues to provide catering for weddings, funerals, parties, and corporate events, including buffets and hog roasts. Johnson, originally from Yorkshire, has lived in Northumberland for 17 years and emphasizes the use of local produce in all dishes.
