Description
>> All deliveries Friday (1pm – 6pm). <<
Since March, the Magic Hat team have voluntarily sourced, packed and delivered over 10,000 free food parcels, not only helping those who have been directly affected by COVID-19 but saving over 23 tonnes of food from landfill. With our normal cafe and market operations on hold, we are determined to carry on saving surplus, so we are launching our very own home delivery service to help support our work in the community;
-
Magic Hampers are filled with surplus surprises. You never know what’s coming! We don’t see these as an alternative to a shop but an added bonus, a weekend treat or a present for a loved one.
-
Each week we will fill a small crate with items which may include bread, fresh fruit/veg, confectionary, grains, tins, drinks and flowers – and deliver them to your doorstep.
-
Add optional additional items to your box like t-shirts, preserves, juice and tote bags. New products are added weekly!
-
The boxes are made up at the end of the week after we have distributed to organisations supporting people in need. They are made up of surplus produce that would otherwise be wasted, these boxes in no way jeopardise the contents of boxes delivered to organisations.
-
Every box that is sold will fund food parcels to be delivered to organisations supporting vulnerable people in Newcastle and Gateshead during the crisis.
This is a brand new offering, so we’re offering these boxes at £10 including free delivery. We would greatly appreciate some brief feedback to help us develop and improve the service.

Magic hampers are amazing! You never know what you’re going to get but I’ve never been disappointed. Chocolate, scones, pies, bacon, fruit, veggies, tea bags, drinks, flowers … all sorts and for only a tenner. This is a wonderful service and I can’t recommend them enough. Oh, and they’re delivered by smiling, friendly folk by bikes, including in the rain! Thank you.

I’ve had 2 of these hampers so far and have been so pleased with them. They contain a good mix of items, lovely flowers plus some things that need using fairly quickly (such as fresh bakery items), some things that need using within a few days (fresh fruit and veg) and things which are fine for a while (tinned items, tea bags), they also have a good mix of items useful for meals/every day and nice treats. We’ve been self-isolating as I am high risk and so can’t go to the shops, I can’t even tell you how pleased I was with the M&S doughnuts in one of the hampers, they made my week! Of course it’s a big bonus that buying a hamper helps The Magic Hat Cafe to help those who need it.
