Mr Bs

Mr B's is an Italian-leaning delivery and takeaway operator on the lower end of Newgate Street, the main shopping street that runs from Bishop Auckland's Market Place down towards the railway and on into Cockton Hill. The shop runs an unusually long trading day for a Bishop Auckland takeaway — from late morning through to late evening seven days a week — which gives it a useful position covering both the daytime lunch trade and the more typical evening pizza-and-kebab market. The menu structure is the standard north-east independent format, with pizzas built to order, kebab and wrap options and the side-and-drink range, rather than a more narrowly Italian repertoire. Online review presence is thinner than the longer-established neighbouring shops, with the listings on the main directories carrying basic information rather than a deep review history, which suggests a shop that does more counter and phone trade than aggregator-platform delivery. The Newgate Street position puts Mr B's within a short walk of the Kingsway Arcade and the cluster of independent shops at the southern end of town — a useful collection option for shoppers heading back to the car parks and for residents on the streets that run off Newgate towards Cockton Hill Road.
