Grainger Market

El mejor sitio de Newcastle para comprar comida fresca. La fruta y verdura es mas cara pero de mejor calidad. En la carne puedes encontrar buenas ofertas y buenos productos.

What’s not to love?! This is a lovely historical indoor market in Newcastle offering the very best of local fresh food produce from many independent small businesses in addition to fabrics, jewellery, mobile phone fixing, logo printers and more.
There are numerous butchers and fruit&veg stalls offering fantastic quality food at bargain prices. I tend to visit twice weekly so that my food is always fresh… one of the luxuries of city centre life! How can you turn down 3 packets of raspberries for £1 — Goodbye supermarket giants!
Mouthwatering takeaway options from the likes of The Slice or French Oven Bakery or you can sit in Pumphries Coffee or Olivers Bistro if you fancy soaking up the hustle and bustle of the market. These are just some of my favourites but there are so many to explore and it seems to be flourishing year or year!
If you’re looking for logos or text to be printed on your running shirts ready for competitions then I can personally recommend Logobear. Also there are ample traditional sweet shops including authentic pick n mix which instantly takes me back to my childhood when I used to deliberate carefully selecting my sweets with my 20p allowance!
There really is something for everyone in the Grainger Market and I for one love supporting local businesses. An absolute must for all residents and tourists alike!

My personal favourite place to buy meat, veggies and bread.
Big barn type market in the centre of Newcastle. Numerous stalls that offer all types of different services.
Numerous award winning butchers that offer prime cuts of meat, fantastic mince and healthy plump chickens and eggs!
Wonderful bakery that makes the best breads and pastry I have tried.
Wonderful vegetables and fruit stands where you get can a serious deal on great vegetables.
Cheapest and most authentic pick and mix selection I have ever seen
Fish monger, show repair, tea shop, cafes, clothing and boot sale, cd shops, home repair, clothing alterations … Even a room with a scale in it!
Grainger Market is magical.
A must see, I consider the market a tourist attraction because of how traditional it is. The people in the booths all seem very authentic and very helpful.

A market that is over 100 years old. Some of the stall owners have been family owned for many years. The market consists of a mixed variety of stalls, from butchers to greengrocers, to food on the go. Recently the food offering has a lot more variety. The specialist shops are good too.

I love the Grainger market. You can get wild mushrooms, locally made bread, odd beers, all sorts of unusual ingredients in shops run by nice people. Same smiling faces, quirky street food, cupcakes. You can buy freshly cooked seafood and pizza too! Some days there are vintage clothes. It’s blossomed recently I think.

Newcastle is a busy city full of life and modern buildings towering over beautiful period buidlings, so it was such lovely surprise to stumble upon this little gem! Hidden inconpiciously within a lovely building, next to The Monument, you can find yourself travelling through time in this quant indoor market full of little stalls. I was delightfully surprised with how big and busy the place was and with the stall holders inviting you over for enticing samples, cheap deals and qaulity assurances, you really do feel like you are in an old Victorian marketplace!
Wondering around, there is an abundance of fresh food stalls, delightful bakeries, well-​establised butchers, catch of the day seafood, delicious smelling delicatessens as well as stalls for the retro gamer, the bookworm, the fashionistas, the comic-​art geeks, the animal-​lovers, and the crafters out there, to name a few.
The marketplace itself operates during normal trading hours, has multiple entrances, houses an old Victorian-​style produce weighing scale and is clean, bright and organised. There was no odour from the fish stalls (a strong indication of the freshness), you can request whatever cut of meat you want, and all the fruit and veg are self-​selected at cheaper prices than supermarkets.
It is unfortunate that shopping experiences are no longer like this and with these kind of places dwindling in numbers, Grainger Market is a place to visit, if not for the produce, definitely for the experience!

Doing the tourist bit went in to the market just for a browsing experience.
A vast and disparate group of small traders in a huge city and a complete change from the bustling streets where you could stop and chat and discuss the products on display at length.
The fish stalls were amazing.
The independent jeweller was an inspiration.
The Film shop full of great … stuff
Tourist or local, get yourself down to the market and support this amazing place.

great market. lovely place to visit if you are doing a trip to newcastle, we go for fresh veg when we want to make a nice meal. love it

A really good central market that is clean and welcoming.

Der Grainger Market ist ein Platz, in dem man unglaublich viel entdecken kann. Ein Markt, in dem man einen ganzen Tag verbringen kann. Entspannt Kaffee trinken, dabei den Menschen zusehen, über die verschiedenen Stände zu bummeln und unbedingt bei einem der Metzger das Abendessen mitnehmen. Zu vergleichen höchstens mit einer Kleinmarkthalle in Großstädten, dafür aber mit dem Flair der Vergangenheit. Man taucht in eine andere Welt und Zeit ein und läßt sich am Besten einfach mittreiben.

One of those shopping experiences that don’t seem to exist anymore.
Even if you don’t buy anything just visiting is an experience.

The grainger, market is a great place to sit and watch the world go byolivers café is my favourite, the breakfast is lovely freshly made in front of you, and the staff are very friendly, helpful and attractive. Much better coffee than those chain coffee shops you must try it.

We are in the grainger market and love the grainger market ! Music, shopping, coffee break, childrens entertainment Fab Fab Fab long live independant shops. Keep using butchers, bakers & candlestickmakers

The Grainger Market is an excellent source of budget buys as well as having an abundance of butchers and fruit & veg stalls.
There are several cafes, Greggs, a pet shop, weigh house and many many more stalls.
I love the Grainger Market.
The meat and veg is cheaper than the supermarket with less packagin which alone is a goo eason to shop there.

Grainger Market is close to the centre of Newcastle and is host to a range of stalls and cafes, selling everything from organic food to books and clothing. The Market is good for getting quality produce for a more reasonable price than found in mainstream supermarkets. Staff on stalls are always willing to help.

This is a great place it has loads of different shops from a wonderful coffee place with hundreds of types of beans to a place that sells fab goth boots. There is an outdoor shop which has stuff that is really well priced and the oldest marks and spencers that is left which is really small and sells sale stuff. The butchers have lovely cuts of meat and everyone goes here for the great fruit and vegs
I think that the best thing is the weigh house where you go and get weighed on the old fashioned scales and they discreetly hand you a slip of paper it has a great hardware store. We had to go around for donations of items when doing a charity event once and all the store holders were great Its in a big building which is great so you dont get wet while wandering around a great place for some fantastic bargains

A lovely old place to visit, the Grainger Market is housed in a delightful Victorian building, designed by Richard Grainger who was responsible for the area known as Grainger Town.
It has an atmosphere all of it’s own and is well worth a visit just to look at the building, Situated just off Grey Street the market itself is just brilliant and you can get loads of bargains. There’s lots of fresh friut and veg stalls, butchers and cut price stores of every kind.
It’s a realy pleasant change from the surrounding more up-​market stores all around it. Do go if your’e in the area, you won’t regret it.

At first, I thought Grainger Market got cheap stuff. After I did shop around and take notes of everything. It is dear. It is not like what it seems. It seems like traditional market, as opposed to supermarket. But, they have got bad quality products (not always, but quite often) and expensive products (This also applies to fruits and vegs). The Customer service is terrible. They are not nice and helpful (Some are nice, but mostly not). I used to shop there for a year. After I found out the price is not good value. I never go there anymore. It is also difficult to get parking in city centre. The parking is not free either (unlike in supermarket).

If you’ve never been into the Grainger Market, you must pay it a visit. The architecture is superb and it is a world away from its modern equivalent — the shopping mall. Once you’ve finished admiring the building, do some shopping. The butchers’ shops are a mainstay of the market. Quality items from traditional butchers at good prices. Fruit and veg shoppers are well catered for as well. If you want to treat yourself, go to Pumphreys for your coffee and tea supplies and pick up a bargain at the M&S Penny Bazaar.

If you’re visiting Newcastle as a tourist and you want to pick up some bargins shopping wise, you have to visit the Grainger Market. It’s located just down from Grey’s Monument and Eldon Square Shopping Centre and if you’re not looking for it you might miss the entrance as it’s quite small but the hustle and bustle noise that comes from it is unmissable. It has lots of little shops for you to browse in and it has some excellent prices for fresh produce and cards and stationary. It has some very unique stores that often find home in small markets. I recommend some of the deli’s they do delicious and cheap snacks, excellent if you want to spend your time exploring Newcastle or even shopping!

Developed by Richard Grainger (also responsible for the construction of the Theatre Royal, Grey Street, Grainger St. and Clayton St.) the Grade I Listed Grainger Market is Newcastle’s largest traditional market.
This market fills a large, classical style building in Grainger St. (near to Grey’s Monument) and was the largest covered market in Europe when first built. Covering 38,000 square feet this is still one of the largest market halls in the country. At the time of its opening in 1835 the Evening Chronicle described it as ‘the most beautiful in the world’.
The market has traditionally sold mainly meat and vegetables but there are many other stalls, including a speciality tea/​coffee shop, a deli, various jewellers, craft shops, an opticians, a florist, bookshop, tobacconist, clothes stalls, grocery stores, haberdashers and the unique «Marks & Spencer Original Penny Bazaar», the world’s smallest Marks & Spencer store.
The Fish Market moved to the Grainger Market from the Green Market in January 2007.
The Grainger Market also holds an Arts and Crafts fair on the second Saturday of each month.
Opening Times: Monday/​Wednesday 9am-​5pm
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday 9am-5.30pm
Location: central Newcastle, adjacent to Grainger Street, close to the Monument Metro Station.
The traditional indoor Market has lost some of its popularity over the years as shopping habits have changed, nevertheless it provides a great diversity of goods and an interesting shopping experience.

Grainger Market is a huge indoor market located near Grey’s Monument. I love wandering around and soaking up the colourful, cheerful atmosphere that is so typical of traditional markets. Grainger Market is best for fresh fruit and vegetables but there is also a wide selection of meat and dairy produce. Products are always great value and of a high quality. Grainger Market is also home to stalls selling clothes, fabric and general bric-​à-​brac. The market is open during normal shopping hours.
