Our Top 10 Stockport Picks for Delivery and Takeaways During Lockdown
All of us at Stop in Stockport have put together a list of our favourite independent businesses who are offering delivery during the current crisis. From veg boxes to pizza, and vegan treats to wine, our Stockport indies have you sorted.
1 – Pickle Rick’s Pizza
Arguably, one of the best pizza places in Stockport on a standard weekend, Pickle Rick’s offers huge American style pizza at a very reasonable price (£8 for a Margherita). Located in Hazel Grove, these guys really know how to make a solid pizza. Top tip – Pickle Rick’s is incredibly popular so if you want to order on Just Eat or UberEats make sure you get in there early! If it says they are not taking orders, it’s probably because they’ve been inundated so just give it some time and hope they come back online!
2 – Stockport Maker’s Market
Stockport Maker’s Market is now offering an online delivery service, bringing all your favourite artisan goodies to your front door. Ranging from gooey chocolate brownies, to handmade samosas, gourmet cheesecakes and make-your-own pizza kits. Check out their website here to find out more information and when you need to get your orders in by!
3 – WineBoy
WineBoy, residents of Stockport Indoor Market, are now offering delivery of their wide array of organic and natural wines. If you’re looking to open up your palette why not head over to their instagram account @wineboyuk and direct message them about your order!
4 – The Bun and Bones Club
Located in Hazel Grove, this hugely popular burger and wings joint continues to offer delivery in the Stockport area serving top quality burgers, wings, fries and more. We highly recommend the fried halloumi burger with dusted fries; the vegan Groot burger is also incredibly tasty. The Bun and Bones Club is highly sought after and like Pickle Rick’s, you may have to wait to be able to order if there are too many people trying to get their burger fix! Check out their menu here .
5 – Stockport Indoor Market
Stockport Indoor Market traders are now offering a local delivery service for essentials such as meat, eggs, cheese and fruit and veg. Boxes range in different sizes and they have a delivery radius of 3 miles.

5 – The next is a film that takes us back a few years. Yanks, made in 1979, is a film about American soldiers who move to Britain before joining the war effort in mainland Europe. The film starring Richard Gere has multiple filming locations but our favourite is that of the scene in Stockport Market Place.

6 – This next appearance comes from the series Tina and Bobby. The series is about the trials and tribulations of Bobby M more and his wife Tina. Interestingly, Michelle Keegan who plays Tina actually grew up in Stockport which may have contributed to the choice of filming location.

Stockport’s New Pocket Park
Seating, Table Tennis & Cycling
Stockport’s latest addition to its green space is a Parklet. It is a new concept here but is popular in other towns and countries all over the world. Stockport’s Parklet is the first from the Bee Network Parklet Scheme and held its launch event on June 12th.
A Parklet or Pocket Park is a small space in urban areas that adds more seating, flowers, trees and cycle racks in the public realm.
They are called Parklets or Pocket Parks because they are tiny and fit into previously unused space.
The concept is really flexible and can be created in almost any location. We are very lucky to have to have been allocated one and we can only hope they will pop all over our town centre in the near future.
The Parklet is located on Bridgefield Street in Stockport opposite Mango Bean cafe next to Redrock.
There is also a table tennis table within the Parklet that can be used by members of the public. We were made aware that the paddles and ball can be borrowed from Mango Bean across the way.
One incredible feature is the Stockport mural on the wall which features iconic Stockport landmarks in bright colours. It is a great addition considering the expected local grey skies of Stockport.
The park has been funded by Andy Burnham’s Mayors Fund in partnership with Chris Boardman’s cycling initiative. There will be many more popping up all over the Greater Manchester area.
