serving you safely
The festive season may feel a little different this year and yet
the Cranstons team are determined that your celebration food will be as good as ever! This year Cranstons shops will be open for extended hours on the build up to Christmas (see back cover) and you can collect your special Christmas order from outside the shop rather than inside if you wish (see page 22 for how to order). We are confident that this will allow everyone to access our Christmas produce safely.
special thanks They say people make a business and this year more than ever I have been humbled by the dedication our farm suppliers, local producers and everyone here at Cranstons has shown. The whole team has worked tirelessly to ensure our counters and shelves are kept full. Myself and the whole Cranstons team would also like to thank you, our customers, for being so supportive throughout these challenging times.
supporting Hospice at Home charity products
Our festive charity shopping evenings will not be held this year however we couldn’t let Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland, a charity close to our hearts, go without vital funds. For every Cranstons Christmas pudding, and every pack of pigs in blankets you buy from us this year, a 50p donation will be made to the charity.

bacon with a difference Our bacon is cured traditionally; pork loins are smothered in a mixture of brown sugar and salt giving it a delicious sweet and salty flavour. The fact we don’t use any water means the bacon isn’t too salty and most importantly doesn’t shrink in the pan! Dry Cured Smoked Streaky Bacon Dry Cured Streaky Bacon Dry Cured Back Bacon
Dry Cured Smoked Back Bacon Dry Cured Smoked Streaky Bacon
Our smoked bacon is traditionally cold smoked over oak and beech chippings giving it a deep and natural smoky flavour. 9
mouth-wateringly tender beef Expertly matured beef steaks Rib Eye: an old classic, rich in flavour due to the small ‘eye’ of fat running through it. Fillet: known as the ‘King of Steaks’ as it’s the most lean and tender, a real festive treat.
Tomahawk: a large bone in rib eye sharing steak,
this is a must for steak connoisseurs. Perfect to griddle then carve into melt in the mouth slices.
best naked steak in Britain Sirloin: our personal recommendation, very tender, well marbled with fat and really versatile. Best naked steak in Britain – 2020 Q Guild Smithfield Awards.
Flavoursome roasting joints Our joints are matured in the same expert way as our steaks for melt in the mouth tenderness and exceptional favour.
