Did You Know...?

The Best Newcastle Brands
- Greggs - The largest bakery chain in the United Kingdom, and the go-to for a quick sausage roll before you head back to work. The first Greggs opened in 1951 in Newcastle and has since become a staple on the British high street. Their meal deals are pretty awesome too!
- Noveltea - Combine the UK's two favourite past times; drinking tea and drinking alcohol. I think we're onto something! These two German-born Newcastle students were fascinated by the Brit's passion for tea and alcohol didn't know why no one had fused them together. So they did it themselves with Noveltea.
- Geordie Gifts - A retailer that's passionate about their hometown, Geordie Gifts make handmade gifts and cards with an added Geordie twist. They made their humble beginnings on Facebook alone before setting up camp in local markets, and then finally opening an online shop and permanent store in Grainger Market.
