Redheads Mac N Cheese from North East at Leeds Festival

Redheads Mac N Cheese, which has become a firm favourite with food lovers in Newcastle after establishing itself at the city’s iconic Grainger Market, has brought its famous cheesy creations to Bramham Park for the festival.

The Newcastle business has become a familiar face at festivals across the country, but Leeds Festival remains one of the biggest dates in its summer calendar.

And festivalgoers have been turning out in their thousands to get their hands on the North East favourite, with queues stretching for hours at the Redheads stand.

The team said the demand this year has been particularly impressive, with one queue lasting nine hours.

“It’s been absolutely mad – we’ve had a queue lasting nine hours!” the Redheads team said.

“This is our sixth year in the main arena and it’s always one of the highlights of our summer. We love coming back and seeing so many familiar faces, especially our regular customers from the North East.

“Some of our Geordie customers even pack their loyalty cards and bring them all the way to Leeds with them, which always makes us smile.

“But it’s not just our hometown crowd anymore. Every year we see more and more people from Yorkshire becoming Redheads regulars, and it’s brilliant to see our Mac n Cheese getting so much love over here.”

For the team, Leeds Festival isn’t just about serving food – it’s also an opportunity to soak up the atmosphere while some of the biggest names in music perform just metres away.

“We absolutely love coming back every year,” they added. “There’s such a great vibe, and we get to watch some incredible acts while we’re serving.

“Not many people can say they’ve been serving Mac n Cheese while Fontaines D.C is performing just a stone’s throw away!”

Redheads has become a staple of Newcastle’s food scene, with its Grainger Market roots helping it build a loyal following across the North East.

For hungry festivalgoers, it seems a trip to Leeds Festival isn’t complete without a taste of the North East’s cheesy favourite.
