Great little shop in the bustling Newcastle city centre market 'The granger Market'…read more They have all the little bits I need for baking my bread and all the oils i'll ever need to dip them in. The owners are passionate and dedicated foodies and will always off you some advice.

800th review, and pleased to give it to "mmm...." Silly name, but very fitting!…read more I'm a massive foodie, and I love to cook. I have a huge recipe collection and that includes several that very unusual ingredients. I file those recipes away in my head, thinking "if you can ever find amchur powder/palm sugar/tamarind paste/quail eggs/ancho chile powder/etc, you'll have to buy it and make this recipe!" Having just moved to Newcastle, I have already been impressed by how many ethnic ingredients and spices are just in your average Tesco, but Mmm... blows them all away! I think I spent 30 minutes in here, just scanning the shelves, trying to memorize what I saw so that I could come back when I needed a specialty ingredient. They have everything! For such a small shop, the selection is truly impressive. Lentils/grains/beans, hard-to-find spices, and my very favorite - a Mexican/Latin section with lots of different chile powders, chipotle chiles in adobo, and even Mexican cheese like queso fresco! And fresh corn tortillas! I thought I'd never ever find those things in Newcastle, and was well impressed. They also have olive oils and vinegars, some in bottles on the shelf and others to be tasted from large dispensers. You can fill an empty bottle of oil/vinegar then bring it back for a refill when it's empty and get a discounted price. Oh lord what else - hot sauces, preserves, loads of unusual condiments, beautiful dried pastas, various flours.... and yes, quail eggs! As they say on their website "Don't ask if we stock something, ask us where it is!" Right in the centre of Grainger Market, you will find this small but perfect foodie paradise. There's not a recipe in the world you can't make when you have access to everything that Mmm...has to offer! I'll probably be in here once a week.

This place has gone right down hill, they never take discounts off items that are discounted so…read morecheck your bills, there prices have gone through the roof, all that and louie Armstrong on security.!! I won't be going back !

Morrison's in the Killingworth Centre is a good-sized Supermarket offering every day groceries plus…read moremagazines, books, clothes and some Electronics and entertainment items. There is a good Deli here too, with a wide variety of take away meals, cheeses, meats and an in-house bakery offering freshly baked bread and delicious cakes. Morrison's also has a great selection of "free from" foods with gluten, dairy and wheat free products. The staff are friendly, there is a good in-house Café to eat at, and the store supports the local community well through a notice board and fund raising projects. The only thing stopping me giving this Morrison's 5 stars is the fact that I've regularly found it lacking in stock. Every day items often seem to be out of stock and not replenished quickly. That apart, it's my local Supermarket of choice and rarely disappoints.

Tesco Durham is a HUUUUGE store, the staff are very friendly and the shelves are generally well…read morestocked. There is always a good variety of all products - a good choice of brands with a range of prices to suit every budget. They also have a very good clothing section that often has a sale on. The atmosphere in Tesco is always bustling, even at 3 in the morning near Christmas and New Year. Although most of the staff are very friendly and will drop everything to help you look for a product but some of the staff that work on the electrical counter are a little to be desired. They are very unwilling to negotiate a refund/exchange even when you bring the product back within a week brand new!

I was amazed how big this store is, they must make a fortune!…read more The staff I have been served by dont usually speak to you at all unless they have or talk amongst themselves, so thats disappointing. Loads of extras in this store unlike small Tesco stores. The food variety is not as big as it should be though, electricals are quite expensive and can be got cheaper elsewhere.

Hurrah somewhere near my parent in laws house that sells decent cheap food and veg!…read more Since I was last in Newcastle this store has been expanded and is all shiny and new. This new and improved store is so much nicer inside and makes a great and cheaper alternative for your weekly shop. Top tip: Lidl has started selling fresh bread and pastries and they are A-MAZING.

This is a great place to go to if you are looking for a large selection of asian sweet(barfi, gulab…read morejamin, ras malai etc.) I would say its literaly one of the best asian mithai shops in North East. There is a large variety of other products. Bombay mix, nuts, pistachos, peanuts,etc. If you want to try real delicious indian desserts (especially those with a sweet tooth) I recommend to visit this place, you'll become hooked, guranteed,lol. Prices varies but are reasonable.

Tesco Express at Trinity Gardens is in a good location, it's off a side street from Quayside and a…read moreshort walk away from many of the city's hotels - including the Hilton, Inside by Melia and The Vermont, this makes it a good location for tourists to head to grab some essentials to take back to their room, while also being close enough to the city, locals and commuters can also find it handy. It is a little hidden on a side street, although I had no problem finding the store with Apple Maps on my phone. It's pretty much your typical Tesco Express - the layout felt familiar even though I have never visited this store before, I instantly knew where everything was. I could find the small number of items I came in for. There is also a Costa Express coffee machine at the front of the store. The staff seemed friendly enough, and the store was clear of clutter making it easy to get around. Prices are a little inflated - but again it's what you pay for in a "convenience" store. 4*

Aah my local Tesco express-feeding my late night cravings and denting my bank balance! Slightly…read moremore expensive than the bigger stores but you are paying for the convenience and I love the fact it is open until 11pm every night. All the usual selections you would expect from a local convenience store. The fruit and veg took a hit when they shuffled things around last year so there seems to be a focus on less healthy options including ready meals,sweets and chocolates. Not somewhere where you would do a full weekly shop but for those items you've forgotten or last minute grabs it's ideal. The layout of the store isn't great with narrow aisles and often there are cages to be unloaded blocking the way. Similarly there are only two self service tills with the main tills not often manned until a massive queue forms. Staff are hit and miss....some are polite but others see it as a huge hassle that you might not want to use self service! Overall it does the job!!
