GRAINGER MARKET
Important news for those needing essential items in the city! Our beloved Grainger Market is open, and as well as stocking all of your essential household items, the Grainger Delivery service is back up and running too. The lovely lot behind our marvellous covered market have been non-stop throughout the lockdown period, and once again, they’re open for everything you might need to keep things ticking at home. Whether it's a fruit box from Hutton & Oliver, 'Everyday Specials' from Oliver & Eden Butcher, a 'Mixed Bakery Selection' from our friends at The French Oven, or exquisite nibbles from Northern Delicious, there really is something for everyone. Did you know Grainger Delivery also has you covered when it comes to cards and gifts, eco-friendly wellness products and a whole host of amazing 'heat and eat' options from some of your favourite foodie spots including Pizza Slice and Dumpling and Bun. Whether you're popping to the many essential retailers on your lunch break, or you're ordering for your Grainger Delivery, you know the drill; mask on, 2m apart and warm Geordie smiles please!

THE HOI POLLOI
The Hoi Polloi has certainly been a welcome addition to the city! And while we've been unable to visit them as much as we'd like, they sure have taken NE1’s barbering experience to the next level! The team just keep on delivering the goods, and their next development is some seriously cool merch. Inspired by the love our city has for football, be sure to feast your eyes on The Hoi Polloi’s very own football shirt! The guys have a few shirts left in stock, and we think this will go down as an iconic bit of Toon kit in years to come!
