Sainsbury's Local

If you are travelling to Newcastle by train, this is a convenient location. Just buy what you need in an instant.

Convenient location if you first come to Newcastle by train. Just buy what you need in a second.

The store is having renovations so may be reverting back to 5am start some time early in the new year, possibly February, but it is yet to be confirmed.

A great little shop, open from 7am until 11pm, used regularly by locals, visitors and travellers boarding and alighting the metro system, and trains from the train station. You can enter/exit this Sainsbury's from inside the train station concourse or from the main front of the train station. Most urgent essentials, or treats, can be bought here 🙂👍🏽

Big thank you to the store manager and staff member that were working around ~5:30 pm today! I asked if there was a hot water tap somewhere were I could fill up my pot noodle, and with no hesitation, an employee got permission and took my pot noodle to the back and made it up for me with their office kettle. Northern generosity at it's best! So kind.

Well done to the staff who apprehended a shoplifter this morning. I think it was the manager who went above and beyond.

Very good customer service when I was in here last, I picked up a wrong tray of chicken which was more expensive than I wanted, I asked a member of staff, I think she was called Robbi how to delete it off the self service screen, she did that with a smile, then took my item back for me and returned with one I wanted, proper customer service.

great shortcut

great location

Great

Pop in most time to grab a water and some snacks for the train ride. Friendly staff and prices always cheaper than the train prices

Great choice of foods drinks etc for being such a small Sainbury's. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
One star (should be more but not staff/branch fault) was knocked off because of the bags. I went in for a few things before my journey and left my bag with my partner. Plastic bags at the till. I asked for a hessian/jute bag or one of the ones that you fold into itself but they had nothing. It's a plastic bag or nothing! Considering how many 100s of 1000s of people must go in there it's shocking!! Come on Sainbury's sort this out!!

After my time in the Vietnam War, I needed some place to stay as my house had been destroyed by a drunken demolitionist. Thankfully, the helpful Sainsbury’s employees were here to help. They let me stay in their bins and eat whatever people put in there! How kind. However, unfortunately I got 16 diseases from eating things like a plastic wrapper, out of date cheese and a live dog. This brings my review down to 4 stars. However, they are still very kind and it took me 22 years to realise that they’re actually a corner shop, not a hotel.

Sainsburys local has bit of every think you can grab lunch to evening meals to limited ingredients to cook from fresh in very convenient and staff helpful

Very handy shop towards Haymarket end of Northumberland St with a restricted choice of food items but mainly the essentials and most popular items Good choice of breads Friendly staff and security guard on door Tends to be pricier than some places but balanced by convenience in high footfall area
