Head coach Luxury accessories brand Coach celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Fenwick is home to the iconic brand in the North East and features some of its perfect colour-pop classics in the handbag department.

In its 75th year, Coach has Yorkshireman Stuart Vevers at the helm as Executive Creative Director.

Vevers, left his native Yorkshire to study Fashion Design at London’s University of Westminster. On graduation, he began his career in New York at Calvin Klein. He then moved back to Europe to take on lead accessories design roles at Bottega Veneta, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton.

In 2004, Vevers joined Mulberry as Creative Director, a tenure that led to a transformation of the British company. In recognition of his work, in 2006 he was named ‘Accessory Designer of the Year’ at the British Fashion Awards.

Today he leads Coach as the company continues to grow and flourish.

To commemorate this anniversary, a collection of milestone designs has been created.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of Coach, America’s Original House of Leather.

From its humble beginnings as a small, family-run workshop of six artisans in New York City to its position today as a leading global lifestyle brand, Coach has a rich heritage and is one of the world’s most recognisable fashion houses.

Coach Icons

handheld wear. The new edition updates the original’s unmistakable silhouette with exceptionally soft glove tanned leather in no fewer than ten exuberant colours. It comes with an earlier iteration’s mini kisslock coin purse on the inside as a nostalgic nod to the past.

Rainger, the American backpack, has long held a place of honour in the Coach archive. Introduced as No. 9005 in 1970, it was one of the first drawstring styles in glovetanned leather, followed 19 years later by No. 579, the style that inspired this 75th anniversary re-edition. Like the other icons, it will only grow softer and acquire more character with time and its appointments of a harness buckle and turnlock clasp speak to the brand’s heritage. New is the modern convenience of an interior laptop sleeve and pockets for other 21st century essentials.

Duffle’s iconic silhouette debuted in 1972 and will be reimagined and brought to life in stores from October 2016, as the fourth installation of the Coach Icon collection.

This September will bring the debut of Coach’s new women’s fragrance. Coach the Fragrance captures the spontaneous energy and cool of New York City, in an Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette.

Stuart Vevers cast actress Chloë Grace Moretz as the face of the Steven Meisel-lensed campaign. Moretz has been a face of the brand for the past two years and embodies the Coach spirit—an all-American girl who is youthful, modern, authentic, and celebrates her natural beauty.

“To me, this perfume is everything I love about Coach. It’s modern and happy. It perfectly captures the spirit, energy and excitement that Stuart has brought to Coach”, says Chloë Grace Moretz.

Coach also redesigned four of its most iconic and beloved silhouettes: the Saddle Bag, Dinky, Rainger and Duffle.

These styles, introduced one at a time throughout 2016, maintain the effortless and personal characteristics that are quintessentially Coach, but in a host of brilliant bright hues and textures which honour Coach’s leather craft expertise, such as Tea Rose and Patchwork.

Coach Icons is also a celebration of Coach’s signature glovetanned leather. Soft, relaxed and tactile, it has an easy luxury that’s inherently cool, and promises to burnish and get better with time.

Spring 2016’s Saddle Bag was inspired by an iconic silhouette first introduced in 1972—the No. 9170 Pouch, whose minimalist construction and simple functionality has inspired countless Coach bags over the years. The new Saddle Bag reimagines No. 9170 in new glovetanned leather.

Stuart Vevers: “I wanted to take inspiration from our archive and heritage, but to do something very new and forward-looking. It feels like a modern luxury bag. It symbolises a lot of what Coach is about: great American style, ease, a relaxed quality. This is a return to a muchloved leather.

“The Saddle Bag is a re-edition of the 1972 Coach Stewardess Bag. I love this new name—what could be more American than the functionality of a saddle and a name that evokes a free, equestrian spirit. A signature Coach silhouette. This shape is so Coach.”

Dinky reimagines one of the most iconic Coach bags ever made, a compact, convertible purse whose groundbreaking 1973 design offered the option of shoulder, crossbody or

interview Tommy Hilfiger Everyone knows his name. Tommy Hilfiger is the man known for making preppy one of fashion’s forever favourites. Josh Sims talks to him.

- alone in making it so accessible and by turns commercial.

When, in the early 1990s, the then much less mainstream hip hop world embraced the wearing of ‘Tommy’, Hilfiger embraced the hip hop world with outsized, logo-covered clothing in the way other more WASPish brands may have fought shy of.

Cocksure, Hilfiger assumed success from the start too.

When the brand was barely known, Hilfiger and George Lois devised an ad campaign for a billboard on Times Square, no less. “Four great American designers for men” it posited. Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis it offered as three. The fourth was left, not so ambiguously, for the onlooker to name.

“That campaign was a clear turning point in my career,” Hilfiger recalls. “The ad made a very bold statement that I had to live up to - it was risky, but running a business is all about taking risks. We’ve gone on to collaborate numerous times together, and I’m grateful for his bravery and intuition.”

Certainly a readiness from the outset to push at the edges - a little, but not too much - has paid off: the company made $25m annual sales within the first five years of its launch and rapidly parlayed its appeal into a billion dollar brand that encompassed not just fashion - womenswear, childrenswear, all the usual accessories - but everything from bed linen to bathroom paraphernalia.

“There has always been a strong connection between fashion and pop culture, which creates a great platform for creativity, growth and expression,” says Hilfiger on why American companies in particular seem so successful at making the leap from making clothing to (almost) everything. Consumers, he argues, want to immerse themselves in what the brand does, make the brand part of their identity. Meanwhile the more successful the company is the more creative, and expansive, it has to be to maintain that success. Why stop at T-shirts?

Indeed, the sheer ubiquity of Tommy Hilfiger itself somehow works as an example of the often fantastical American Dream that Hilfiger, among many others, embodies. Born in Elmira, New York, the second of nine children - Hilfiger in turn has seven children of his own who “keep me up to date on what’s cool” - in 1969 he began travelling to New York to buy bell-bottom jeans, which he customised and sold to a local Elmira store, before opening his own, The People’s Place, and selling them alongside beads and incense. He was 18. Ten stores of his own and seven years of importing big city style to the

Of all fashion designers, perhaps Tommy Hilfiger stands tallest as an exemplar of the American spirit, in entrepreneurialism as much as in culture.

Although, perhaps not all of it. Among American exports, he doesn’t much rate McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts or Britney Spears - “a lot of stupid stuff”, as he’s called it.

But the pop aesthetic of Hollywood, rock ‘n’ roll, the stars ‘n’ stripes?

He loved it. He’s built an empire on that.

“Iconic American pop culture has always been one of my biggest inspirations – from fashion and art to music, entertainment and celebrities,” says Hilfiger. “American culture is always changing and pushing boundaries, but at the same time it’s rooted in a rich heritage. It’s the perfect balance between tradition and innovation.”

That’s an apt summation of the Hilfiger brand itself innovating, because a fashion brand that fails to remain current is dead, but traditional because it is so deeply rooted in the quintessentially American preppy style of khakis and polo shirts, deck shoes and navy blazers. ‘Prep’, as he calls it, “is rooted in the American East Coast, and the look is all about confidence, eclectic details and not taking yourself too seriously. The phenomenon has gone global and it’s always exciting for me to see how the style is embraced and interpreted with unique twists that reflect local culture. From the beginning, my vision was to build a brand that celebrates the East Coast Americana lifestyle with a West Coast twist.”

This vision has built him a business such that when, in 2006, competition from the likes of Abercrombie & Fitch, Banana Republic and European designer diffusion lines - all riffing on preppy themselves - brought declining US sales and encouraged Hilfiger to then sell his shareholding to private equity company Apax Partners, he was still able to make $1.6bn and stay on as the brand’s creative overlord.

He has recently published his memoire. It makes for a rollicking ride through the highs and lows of building a fashion giant, and the bold strokes required to survive.

Indeed, while Hilfiger was not alone in peddling preppy, he was - contrast the aristocratic leanings of Ralph Lauren

interview Tommy Hilfiger

admission, the timing was on his side. “It was a moment when men began to put away their ties, dress more casually, first at the weekend and then through the week,” he has said. “And that idea is very American. It came out of Silicon Valley and the idea that workers would be more productive the more comfortable they were. But I think that’s what American designers can lay claim to: the casualisation of dress, that idea of being free of the confinement that some clothes can bring.”

Of course, for all that ease and simplicity sells - Hilfiger says that, after 40 years in the business, one of the biggest realisations is the basic fact that classic styles always outlast any trend - the self-taught designer stresses that a brand is a living thing, a baby that always needs nurturing, as he’s put it. You have to maintain momentum - and perhaps now more than at any point in his career.

“It has always been my vision to celebrate individuality and inspire our customers by breaking conventions and staying on the pulse of pop culture. [But while] the pace of digital innovation makes it almost impossible to predict what’s coming next, I’m always excited to embrace the incredible changes taking place in our industry every day,” he says.

But how to keep up? Naturally, Hilfiger gives an allAmerican answer. “My success has come from hard work, dedication, the support of incredible business partners, and always believing in my vision,” he says. “Never give up on your dreams”.

sticks later, the local trade evaporated and, in part out of bad luck, in part out of a youthful lack of business acumen, he went bankrupt.

As far as public recognition was concerned, that could have been the end of Thomas Jacob Hilfiger. He was offered design positions with Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis but, ever determined to be his own boss, turned them down. As such apocryphal business tales tend to go, he started again, hired the right people and a little over 30 years ago, in 1985, launched the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation - careful not to call it ‘Thomas Hilfiger’ lest that sound too disconcertingly upscale - with the same hands-on approach. A few years ago ‘The New York Times’ reported that Hilfiger had been spotted in a department store of his home town trying on each pair of his company’s jeans for comfort.

“When I was a teenager, I fell in love with the phenomenon of rock-and-roll and wanted to be a rock star, but it was my brother who was the real musician,” says Hilfiger.

“I decided to try and look the part instead, but the styles I wanted weren’t available in Elmira. It became my new dream to develop very cool, rock-and-roll inspired clothing.

Setting up my own store set the foundation for my career and confirmed that designing was my true passion. Soon after that, I moved to New York City...”

It was there that he took heart in the creative boom Manhattan was then enjoying and hung out with Andy Warhol. These days, he collects him. Certainly by Hilfiger’s

Posh partnership Estée Lauder joins forces with style icon, acclaimed fashion designer and former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, to create an exclusive, limited-edition makeup collection - Victoria Beckham Estée Lauder.

The collaboration marks Beckham’s first leap from pop music and pattern-making to product master and launches in Fenwick this October.

Designed to enhance a woman’s natural beauty, the fourteen-piece capsule collection brings together a range of textures, finishes and beautifying colours, making it easy for makeup mavens everywhere to create a range of looks depending on their mood or where they’re headed.

“I have been collecting makeup for many years,” Victoria says.

“I’m always mixing colours to get the look I want and with this collection I believe I have created many of the key pieces that you really need in your makeup kit.

“As a woman who loves to wear makeup, this is exactly what I want. And I’m excited to share it with women everywhere. I love to make women feel the best version of themselves - I want to make women feel empowered, sexy and confident - and this makeup does that.”

Use the products alone or together in harmony to create four stand-out looks that evoke the spirit of Victoria’s most-loved cities; London, Paris, Los Angeles and New York City.

Makeup menu Followed and adored by legions of lipstick lovers and eyeliner addicts across the globe for her flawless, you-but-better makeup looks, and famed for her army of A-list clients, Charlotte Tilbury has fast-become a legend in the cosmetic world.

Her makeup line, which now extends to ‘miracle-working’ skincare and dreamy fragrance, has earned her a cult-like following and Fenwick is the only place to get your hands on her goods in the North East.

Visit the Beauty Hall to see her counter in all its golden glory and treat yourself to a makeover - your very own ‘Tilbury Transformation’ - from its Makeup Revolution Menu.

Scent of a dream £96 (100ml)

Working with visionary experts within the fields of neuroscience and fragrance, I have created what I think is a magical scent. It combines newly-discovered psychoactive ingredients that work with a person’s energy centres to ignite senses

Charlotte pulled out all the stops and joined forces with Nobel Prize-winning neuro-scientists to create her debut fragrance; an intoxicating and so-called ‘mind-altering’ scent to help enhance the mood and boost positivity. A mix of light citrus and floral notes and sensual, musky undertones for depth, encased in a luxe, dressing table-worthy bottle.

flawless Legendary brows £18.50

Goddess skin clay mask £45

I always say brows are the pillars of the face; they can morph the way your face looks. This is brow architecture and artistry in a tube - it enhances, shapes and shades all in one. No hair goes untouched, yet brows will never look ‘penciled in’. It acts like a natural compass to perfect, lush-looking brows

Growing up in Ibiza, I have known about this ancient Mediterranean beauty recipe all my life; a mixture of soft Spanish clay to tighten the pores and sweet almond and rosehip oils to naturally moisturise and nourish the skin. It has failproof results, dramatically purifying the skin, creating a smooth, clear and youthfully dewy surface

Lip cheat in pillowtalk £16

Hot lips £23

A brow gel with a difference, featuring a first-of-its-kind micro-fine precision brush to tease and pick up the smallest of baby hairs, creating the illusion of thicker, fuller eyebrows - but with zero effort. A great little groomer for makeup junkies with light, hard-to-see hairs or those fed up with sparse, uneven brows. Elastic-like wax keeps them in place without stickiness or looking ‘stuck down’, while a mix of vitamin E and castor oil conditions and strengthens the hair. Natural pigments deliver a natural tint.

Charlotte’s award-winning face mask is a celeb favourite, loved for its skin-plumping and super clarifying ingredients.

Unlike many clay-based masks, it doesn’t dry out the skin; instead, it floods the skin with moisture, smoothing away dry patches and rough spots. Pores are gently looked after, too, thanks to antiseptic frangipani extract, and its nifty peptide complex helps boost collagen. Baby skin in a tube - a good all-rounder for all skin types.

Charlotte’s smudge-proof lip liners are some of the most talked about in the beauty world today. The creamy formula cushions the lips with moisture and rich colour, helping to re-shape and create a fuller, more kissable pout. They’re paraben-free and waterproof too, lasting for up to six hours.

A 12-piece lipstick collection, inspired by 12 of Charlotte’s celebrity friends and muses, from Cindy Crawford and Nicole Kidman, to Helena Bonham-Carter and Kim Kardashian-West. A range created with plenty of girl-power.

I really admire each of the women that inspired Hot Lips.

I have extracted their beauty DNA, mixing colours that really embody their style and personality - and am now giving it to everyone. Wear with confidence

I am a huge advocate of lip liner; it’s my backstage secret weapon. My rich and velvety Lip Cheat liners glide effortlessly over the lips and have the power to completely re-shape, re-size and balance your lip

THE NORTHUMBRIAN FUDGE PARLOUR

Fenwick Food Hall is home to an unrivalled array of local produce. We love to hunt down the heroes on our doorstep creating inspiring food and drink.

Davenport’s

Acorn Dairy

Gateshead

Yorkshire & Northumbrian Dales

Tyneside–based Chocolatier Jane Williams trained under Swiss master chocolatier Philipe Berger, who taught her the traditional methods which underpin all of Davenport’s recipes. She and husband Michael launched Davenport’s to offer true specialised flavourings such as raspberry and rose truffles.

They use a delicate blend of chocolate from South America and Africa with rich, full rounded flavours to complement the bespoke chocolate centres. Every single chocolate is skilfully decorated by hand, and beautifully presented in their elegant and contemporary packaging.

Durham Green Lane Durham If it’s happening in the hedgerows and herb beds then chances are that Durham Green Lane will create a pungent jelly or preserves from these natural riches. Kathleen Hamilton’s County Durham business remains true to the old-fashioned way of making preserves from fruit which would have otherwise gone to waste.

Wild fruit is foraged locally and other fruit comes from nearby allotments, private and community gardens. All products are inherently natural with no colouring, artificial flavourings or additives. Just fruit and sugar - nothing else.

We recommend pairing the Wild Crab Apple Jelly with Brebis Sanglé, a rich, meaty sheep’s milk cheese, and a lovely glass of chilled Riesling.

Fenwick Golden Honey Rooftop, Newcastle upon Tyne Up on the rooftop of the Fenwick store, beekeeper Ian Wallace produces honey from beehives in the heart of the city. Fenwick Golden Honey is harvested in small batches a couple of times a year.

Rather fittingly they have black and white rather than black and yellow stripes. The Newcastle honey is a nice, thick runny honey, light and golden in colour, floral in taste. It comes straight from the rooftop to be poured into jars and put out onto the shop floor. Only about 250 jars are produced a year, so it’s priceless stuff!

The Tweddle family has been farming at Archdeacon Newton, near Darlington, since 1928. Four generations later the Acorn Dairy team comprises both family members and other professionals producing organic milk, cheese and cream. Cows are raised in the best possible conditions so they are happy in their surroundings.

All animals have more space in their housing during the winter and are allowed to graze outside naturally in spring and summer. All the young stock are raised on the farm and receive high levels of human care and attention.

Traditional methods and recipes create a wide range of bakery products from ginger biscuits to their plum bread, parkin and famous Yorkshire Brack.

This loaf is made from fruits infused with Botham’s own blend tea, producing a moist and irresistible tea loaf; delicious with cheese, preserves, sliced and buttered, or even just eaten on its own.

The secret life of the sweetest things Beautiful patisserie to rival the best of Paris is meticulously crafted every morning for the Mason + Rye customer in Fenwick.

We joined master patissiers Maria Ribaya and Lloyd D’Souza to see how the mouthwatering creations take shape.

Adam Barber Senior Food Hall Buyer Son Moragues is a smooth, sweet oil, green in colour with medium to strong fruitiness. It’s the olive oil I use in my own kitchen.

Son Moragues is a small company based in Valldemossa, Mallorca.

Their olive oil is not sold anywhere else in the UK. The olives are harvested from 600-year-old trees.

The dark amber bottle is hand blown by a local family business and the wooden box is made by hand from the prunings of olive, cypress and pine trees.

At 4am the secret world of the Fenwick bakery stirs into action.

The underground operation comes to life while most are fast asleep and in those dawn hours the job of the bakery team is to make sure every croissant is perfectly curled and every scone light-as-a-feather.

Within a few hours those crisp croissants and buttery pastries will woo the Food Hall’s breakfasting throng.

At the same time heads will be turned by a patisserie display to rival the best of Paris – or the trendiest of Notting Hill – showing off breathtakingly imaginative and immaculate cakes and sweet treats.

It is serious work and at Mason + Rye the patisserie skills of Maria Ribaya and Lloyd D’Souza shine bright.

The duo has years of experience – both have worked aboard exclusive cruise ships and Lloyd joined Fenwick from the well-known Tamarind restaurant in Mayfair where he held the position of pastry chef.

Their knowledge, skills and experience mean they can turn their hand to the most on-trend cakes – for example the green tea matcha cake – or to the traditional – the bestselling Victoria sandwich – and to show-stoppers that rival anything in London or that cool cake capital, Brighton, says Fenwick executive head chef Kelly Richardson.

“We have a range of about 20 large format cakes which we rotate, lots of ‘wow-factor’ cakes for what we call the ‘Brighton’ element – the green tea matcha cake is very ontrend. We infused the green tea into the butter cream and that gives it the softest pale green colour. These are serious cakes”, he laughs.

“They are part of a bakery which creates some four thousand scones a week for the store and uses five tonnes of flour a week. It is a huge operation which is largely going on behind the scenes.”

dream

Above ground however, the creativity of the patisserie team is on show in the theatre kitchen which is alongside the Mason + Rye café.

It was here that we caught up with Maria and Lloyd making everything look so easy, completing three of the most popular items of patisserie in store:

Opera Cake

Six sheets of individual sponge are layered up with intermittent layers of ganache and chocolate buttercream.

Ingredients in the sponge are free-range eggs, dairy products from Embleton Dairy in Northumberland and all are GMfree.

The chocolate used for the ganache is 70pc single estate dark chocolate and this is tempered and whilst warm poured over the layered cake slices.

A hot knife is used to cut the slab into smaller individual slices. It is then decorated with edible gold leaf and tempered white chocolate shards.

Battenburg

Individual sponges are made flavoured with lemon and rose for the yellow and pink colours and ground almonds.

The sponge is then cut into very precise blocks – using a ruler to ensure uniformity.

Apricot jam is then used to ‘cement’ the different coloured blocks together and the end result is one huge block with the recognisable chequered effect.

This is then wrapped in home-made marzipan and cut to individual sizes. A small sugar flower is the finishing touch.

Raspberry and Rose Macarons

Two separate elements are the key to perfect macarons.

The first is a mixture of almond, egg yolks and an intense raspberry purée and rosewater.

This is added to a traditional meringue mixture made from peaked egg whites. The two mixtures are folded together then the mix is piped into small disk-shapes using a template to ensure the perfect shape.

The air in the mixture creates a smooth surface which when baked makes the traditional and distinctive macaron shape.

Two halves are joined with raspberry purée and pastry crème and the finishing touch is a soft rose petal on top.

On the grapevine From the vineyards of Bordeaux to the sunny California skies, Fenwick sommelier Fiona McLain takes you on a world wine journey with a bespoke selection from the Fenwick Wine Room.

Fiona McLain Assistant Wine and Spirit Buyer

This clever device allows you to pick any wine at any time, have a glass without opening the bottle and come back to it later without it going off.

It works by inserting a needle through the cork and extracts the wine, filling that space with argon gas: an oxidative neutral gas which blankets the wine keeping it fresh.

No more white or red decisions - you can enjoy the best of both worlds!

CORAVIN MODEL 2 WINE ACCESS SYSTEM

Champagne, France JANISSON ET FILS BRUT TRADITION NV £32 Located in Verzenay, known for its top terroir and an impressive list of Grand Cru vineyards, this modern Champagne house excels in producing exceptional yet very approachable Champagne.

Their signature wine, Tradition combines a rich flavour with a great depth of fruit to give a Champagne that is great for savouring with friends over a light starter.

Bordeaux, France DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER, A GRAND VIN BORDEAUX BLANC SEC £17.99 Bordeaux is famous for its complex, robust reds with great aging potential and quite rightly so, however the great whites of this region are often overlooked in favour of them. The ‘Lune d’Argent’ Clos des Lunes, Bordeaux Blanc Sec by Domaine de Chevalier is a lovely blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Sémillon, one of the grapes found in Sauternes, adds richness to the Sauvignon giving a balanced white that is very - if not too - easy to drink.

Sonoma Valley, California

Marlborough, New Zealand ESK VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2014 £10.99 A classically intense Marlborough Sauvignon that displays all the fresh vibrant notes of gooseberry and passionfruit and a herbaceous undertone that we know and love from these New Zealand whites. Head wine maker Gordon Russell has gained a cult following for his easydrinking, fresh wines full of personality.

Piedmont, Italy

AU BON CLIMAT WILD BOY CHARDONNAY £21

G. D. VAJRA, BAROLO ‘LE ALBE’ 201O £35

Originally Jim Cleneden was all set for life in law until a trip to Burgundy changed all that. His wines elegantly combine the influence of tradition and heritage of Bourgogne wines with the richness of the Californian way of life. Au Bon Climat meaning ‘a well-exposed vineyard’ has often been listed on Robert Parker’s ‘Best Winery of the Year’.

A modern Barolo that looks to temperature controlled fermentation and modern vinification techniques to produce a light, elegant red that bursts with bright fruit character and a subtle hint of the 42 months it sees aged in oak casks.

Barolo comes from the Nebbiolo grape in the small commune of Barolo in the heart of Piedmont and shows great aging potential.

interview Tom Kerridge

Looking sharp The knives are out for Tom Kerridge. Literally. His fame has brought him the chef’s ultimate accolade, a kitchenware range. But these are not just any knives, he tells Josh Sims.

Tom Kerridge - double Michelin-starred chef, weight loss maestro and star of ‘Food and Drink’ and ‘Bake-Off: Creme de la Creme’ - is making a name for himself. And it isn’t always easy. “The power of the media is not something I understand or fully appreciate - you don’t until you say something stupid on Twitter or in front of an audience,” he laughs.

But he’s getting used to the Kerridge brand being more of a household one - and certainly his affability and genuine chumminess, in a business populated by egomaniacs, is set to keep him on the path to culinary stardom. And his cooking of course. “I’m lucky,” says Kerridge, now 43. “I like people and, well, a lot of chefs don’t, or people make them feel uncomfortable.” Indeed, he is now launching what might be regarded as a benchmark in chef status - his own kitchenware line, including pots, pans and some serious knives.

“When your profile rises you get offered a lot of opportunities, but I never wanted to just stick my name on something. That wouldn’t fit with the ethos of my business,” he explains. “I didn’t want to produce knives that say ‘these are good for you at home, but they’re not what I would use at work’. So, yes, the knives are expensive. But they’re also beautiful, hand-made working tools, with the credibility of being used in a professional environment.”

They’re also made in Britain - all of his new products are.

It’s an example, he says, of how he is learning to use his growing reputation to what he regards as good ends.

Similarly, he sees what some might consider an invasion of privacy - the press charting his weight loss, over 10 stones

shifted in two years - more as a chance to inspire others struggling to drop the pounds. “For me the kitchenware range is an opportunity to embrace the British manufacturing that a lot of people think isn’t there anymore, when it is,” he says.

Perhaps Kerridge might be said to have also slowly been doing the same for another struggling British institution, the pub. It was he who, having served his apprenticeship in various prestigious kitchens, decided to open a restaurant

98

interview Tom Kerridge

That kind of self-discipline no doubt helps to explain Kerridge’s upwards trajectory. And yet, refreshingly, he does not rush to claim the glory for his success. He credits his wife, the sculptor Beth Cullen, with whom he had a son this year (“and yes he’s already on solids, he’s already on the black pudding,” notes Kerridge), with getting The Hand and Flowers off the ground. “It wasn’t easy either - it puts a lot of pressure on your relationship when all your time and money is being poured into something uncertain, but that pressure also creates an amazing bond,” he says.

And, like the forgotten makers of his new all-British knives, it’s his all-British suppliers - with whom he’s developed a rare and mutual sense of loyalty - who are the real unsung heroes, he says. “It’s the producers that really do all the hard work. We’re just the last 10 percent of the produce’s journey, getting it on the plate,” Kerridge suggests, a line that would seem disingenuous from many of his fellow chefs, but feels real from him.

“You know,” he adds, “it’s just such a great experience working with food. It’s not a rock and roll lifestyle. It’s not all about making a lot of money. And I love it. And I’m just a bloke from Gloucester. If I wasn’t doing this i’d probably be driving a van.”

in a pub in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. It was, he concedes, a risky move, but The Hand and Flowers would become the first pub to win two Michelin stars.

“The food scene is changing massively, and pubs are at the forefront of that now,” he argues. “Back then they were perceived as serving only awful, deep-fried food. But often that’s not the case anymore. And pubs as places to eat work precisely because they are accessible. A lot of chefs work in amazing establishments serving a clientele that they’re not part of. And I always wanted to work in a place that I’d want to be in if I wasn’t cooking. That’s true for a lot of people. They want great food but not the pressure of worrying which fork to use.

“Besides,” he adds, “pubs today have to evolve. The old boozer can’t exist as a business model anymore. Pubs have to get savvy. That might not mean serving food but they certainly can’t survive just on pints of beer. Although a pint of beer is incredibly important...

Kerridge says that despite not touching the liquor himself.

He’s teetotal, a decision born of his weight loss but one which suits his personality. He is, as he puts it, “not a dial person but a switch person. It’s all or nothing with me. I’m in an industry surrounded by alcohol and knew I was enjoying too much of it. I was turning 40, made some assessments of my life and stopped.”

take comfort This recipe for meltingly good slow-cooked beef uses featherblade or chuck steak - the butchers at Blagdon meat counter in Fenwick Food Hall will make sure you get the best cut.

Slow-cooked shoulder of beef with dumplings serves 4

Ingredients

Method

1tbls olive oil

Season the meat quite heavily with salt and milled pepper

1.2kg beef featherblade or chuck steak in 1 piece, trimmed of fat

Colour the beef well in olive oil in a cast iron pot over a medium heat, about 20 – 25 minutes. Remove from the pot and add the onion, carrot and celery. Sauté slowly until they turn a deep caramel colour (about 20 minutes). Add the garlic, crushed pepper and bouquet garni.

Salt and milled black pepper 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 small carrot, thinly sliced

Add the beer and vinegar, bringing to a boil, scraping the base of the pan to release any caramelised residue sticking to the base. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and return the beef to the pot followed by the beef stock. Add the gingerbread cubes, bring to a simmer and cover the pot before transfering to the oven at 135°c.

1 celery stick, thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced 1 bouquet garni, 1 thyme sprig, a bay leaf and a few parsley stalks, tied together with butchers’ string A large pinch crushed black pepper

Braise for around 3 hours until the meat is very tender (turning once or twice during cooking). Strain the liquid, pressing down hard to extract all of the flavour. Simmer to reduce to sauce consistency. Cut the beef into thick slices and keep warm until the dumplings are ready.

2 btls (330ml) wheat beer 1tbls red wine vinegar 2tbls Dijon mustard 360ml beef stock

Pour the hot sauce over the beef and surround with dumplings. Serve with glazed root vegetables and scatter the parsley leaves.

15g gingerbread, diced 1tbls flat leaf parsley

For the dumplings 200g suet

Pre-heat the oven to 200°c. Mix the suet, flour, salt and pepper. Gently stir in just enough water to bring the mixture together. Ensure that you don’t overwork the dough.

250g self raising flour Iced water

Heat the beef stock and pour into a small, shallow ovenproof dish. With wet hands gently roll 4 dumplings and drop into the beef stock.

Pinch of salt Black pepper 200ml beef stock

Place into the oven and bake until golden and well risen (about 10 minutes).

interview Terry Laybourne Terry Laybourne, owner of 21 Hospitality Group, is a food legend in the North-East where he brought the region’s first Michelin star to his 21 Queen Street restaurant in the eighties.

Since then he has quietly been at the forefront of a dining revolution in the city – so he was the natural choice as consultant for the revitalisation of Fenwick Food Hall.

When I started cooking in Newcastle it was the era of the Saturday night dinner dance.

People predominantly only dined out on a Saturday evening or to celebrate a special occasion. The dining scene pretty much revolved around hotel dining rooms - each with similar lengthy menus, written in French, serving poorly executed classic French dishes. There was a smattering of Italian and Asian restaurants but ultimately French cuisine had a stranglehold on the city. People were less adventurous in terms of what they ate in a restaurant and what they cooked at home - food wasn’t quite so important to people then as it is now.

restaurant. It was a trend that lightened food and emphasised the need to eat more healthily. It brought with it much more respect for freshness of ingredients as dishes were less crafted and less garnished – the ingredient was left exposed so it really had to be good enough.

On our doorstep we have access to great growers, farmers and artisans.

They bring a seasonality and a spontaneity to the way we cook. As society became more affluent and transport routes more efficient, products became available at all times throughout the year and people lost touch with the importance of seasonality. Thankfully we’ve grown up and out of this phase and reverted back to the seasonal calendar.

Local produce brings an added element of freshness and is of course favourable but beware there’s some poor local products too. It isn’t all great.

I have watched food trends come and go.

Nouvelle Cuisine broke the stranglehold of the French classics and to an extent liberated chefs - no longer locked away behind closed doors, they became the face of a

interview Terry Laybourne

The Food Hall brings together a food community.

It’s a hub for good food and a lovely environment in which to spend a lazy hour or two surrounded by like-minded people. It acts as a multi-purpose venue, offering customers both a retail and a dining experience with an added social aspect. Frankly, it’s a nice place to hang out and simply have a browse.

I think we brought something unique with Ko Sai. We created something that has the feel of an authentic noodle bar but offers a lot more. The open-kitchen provides an engaging and fun environment and the idea of the menu is to give diners the opportunity to mix and match dishes, so that they can share and savour a whole load of Asian flavours in just one sitting.

A restaurant within a department store is a very different thing these days.

It’s a product of how we live our lives today - we demand higher standards. We want what we want when we want it – if we want to eat lunch at 4.30pm we can.

Nowadays, a restaurant within a department store not only provides its customers with food and drink, but also a previously unrecognisable level of service and a welcoming environment.

I’d like people to come here and think what a lovely place to hang out.

I’d like people to think of the Food Hall the way they do their favourite coffee shop – what a great place to hang out by yourself, catch up with friends or to do a spot of business.

The Food Hall is a sociable place for people to spend time surrounded by a great choice of produce and great cooking.

In my mind it’s not just a Food Hall - it’s a destination.

My Food Hall shopping basket usually includes items I can’t buy anywhere else.

If you looked in my shopping basket you’d most likely find Montgomery’s Cheddar and Iberico Ham from the Deli Counter plus a bottle of Italian red from the wine shop. If it was a Friday you might find a couple of steaks from Blagdon Farm Shop, if I was short on time that day perhaps a Rafi’s Spice Mix and if I’d over indulged the day before probably a cold pressed juice from Naked Deli.

Every customer is different.

Some customers are adventurous and strive to eat something different every time they visit, equally there are those who like what they like. Familiarity is an important thing to have within a menu as customers buy into it.

They’re comforted by the fact they can eat the same thing each time they visit and know exactly how it will be. It’s important to satisfy both groups by grasping the right balance between stability and variation.

A real food treat would be grazing through the Food Hall.

I’d love to have the time to just have a lazy Saturday in the Food Hall. I’d start at Fuego with a chilled glass of Albarino before moving on to Ko Sai for Asian tapas. I’d then head to Saltwater for a glass of fizz and a plate of shellfish before finishing with something sweet at Mason + Rye. To me that would be a real treat.

Attention to detail is shown in the design and choice.

The designers have done an incredibly good job in providing something that looks great and is ergonomically sound. The look and feel of the Food Hall is terrific and the infinite variety of products is first class. The Food Hall gives customers the opportunity to purchase regional and international produce hard to find anywhere else in Newcastle, as well as to eat in restaurants that offer an exceptionally sociable experience.

Elsewhere in the store I buy.

The odd piece of clothing but being a chef the majority of my purchases are made in either the Food Hall or the cook shop.

Saltwater is a place in which chefs and fishmongers work in harmony.

It’s somewhere to while away an hour or two in selfindulgence - eating oysters, lobsters or a piece of fresh fish chosen from the counter. But, equally, it’s a place you can buy the latest catch. Our chefs and fishmongers work side by side in an open kitchen to create a dynamic customer experience. We wanted Saltwater to do more than just cook and sell fish – we also wanted it to be somewhere that customers can learn about how to treat and cook fish.

The Food Hall is a sociable place for people to spend time surrounded by a great choice of produce and great cooking

Our story

The Fenwick timeline In 1882 an ambitious young shop assistant, John James Fenwick, began a retail empire when he took over a doctor’s house in a residential area of Newcastle upon Tyne. It cost him £181 and 4 shillings to convert 5 Northumberland Street house into a shop – a tidy sum in those days.

JJ, as he was known, described himself as a Mantle Maker and Furrier. Together with two assistants he sold mantles, silk goods, dresses, fabrics and trimmings. Sales were healthy. The business grew. Within three years he had purchased 37/38 Northumberland Street and when Fred Fenwick, his eldest son, joined the business in 1890, number 40 was acquired. Today the flagship Fenwick store remains on this exact same site.

Determined to expand, the Fenwick family looked beyond the North East. In 1891 JJ Fenwick bought 63 New Bond Street, which is still part of the London site. Like the Newcastle store it specialised in exclusive tailoring for ladies, and over the next decade the two shops gained a reputation as exciting places to visit, full of the newest ideas and styles.

Fenwick’s masterstroke, however, was to embrace a new retailing concept emerging in Paris – the department store.

Fred Fenwick went to Paris to train in the art of retail and was particularly inspired by what he saw at Le Bon Marché, generally regarded as the first ever department store.

Until this point all retail was based on the concept of specialist merchants – drapers, ironmongers, butchers and bakers – so the idea of combining different kinds of goods in clearly defined departments, all under the same roof, was groundbreaking. The business never looked back.
