Redheads Mac ‘N’ Cheese is heading to the STACK Sunderland container village.
The business, named after owner Jamie Pagett’s ginger hair, has had a successful location in Newcastle’s Grainger Market since 2019 as well as being a regular at the Quayside Market, having an outlet at Newcastle STACK before its closure, and offering a delivery service.
Having trained as a chef, Jamie was trying to balance the long hours with having a family and came up with the idea of a business around mac and cheese in 2016.
“I spent some time in the USA and I absolutely loved eating it when I was there, it’s just so popular,” he said. “I have such a passion for street food and food in general it just seemed like a great idea.”
Visitors to the new outlet at Seaburn will be able to enjoy mac and cheese in a whole host of different forms, from original with garlic breadcrumbs and extra cheese to sticky rib, Mexican and a Caprese version topped with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and Mozzarella. Diners will also be able to enjoy a whole range of loaded fries and dishes such as a chicken burger mac and cheese.
“Mac and cheese is a great dish all the year round,” said Jamie. “It’s really comforting in winter but add in some quirky toppings and flavours and it’s a great summer dish too. We can’t wait for visitors to STACK Seaburn to try them for themselves.”
