Throwback to 2000 ☕🏆

Twenty-six years ago, our Stuart Archer appeared in the Newcastle Journal with the Coffy Johnny Trophy — the special silver coffee pot we commissioned right here in Blaydon.

We created it to mark the centenary of the famous Tyneside character Coffy Johnny, and it was awarded to the first local lad from Blaydon or Winlaton to finish the race. It was a proud moment for us, especially as we were celebrating our own 250th anniversary at the time.

Even though we no longer present the trophy, we’re still very fond of this piece of our history and the strong connection it gave us to the Blaydon Race — one of the North East’s great traditions.
Tomorrow night, as runners line up once again along the Scotswood Road, we’ll be cheering them all on from Blaydon. Best of luck to every single one of you, especially those running for Blaydon and Winlaton.

Here’s to good running and strong coffee afterwards.

Today we are proud to announce that we have been included on the Newcastle & Gateshead Monopoly board.

We are over the moon to be amongst all the icons of our region immortalised in this version of the game.

Keep an eye on our shop shelves for your Christmas present.

We know you may be missing your Pumphreys fix from one of the many coffee shops in the north east we supply which have unfortunately had to close their doors.

Please feel free to place an order with us online and we’ll deliver as soon as we can.

Fingers crossed we can all ride this out and get back to business as usual. Stay safe everyone!
