Coppers of Gosforth is renowned among the locals in the area. Whether it be the friendly service, reliable good-quality produce, or a smashing selection of beers and wines, it is a corner shop rightly held in high esteem.
But could it be better still? Yes, was the emphatic answer of owner Andrew Cossey.
During the lockdown period when the shop was forced to close, Andrew was busy expanding and building onto his beloved corner shop. He said, “When you stop, you go backwards. When you keep on pushing you can get more and create something special.”
Enter, Hop Secret. A charming, cosy venue built into the back of the shop, it oozes character and a welcoming atmosphere.
