Major outside summer destination issued major update regarding future
A major part of the Gateshead Quayside will be updated after the current tennants saw a planning proposal confirmed.
By The River Brew Co have operated under the Tyne Bridge since 2018 before closing in September this year.
Over the years the site has hosted street food markets, a restaurant in the Michelin guide and, most recently a huge outdoor site for food and drinks over the summer, known as Summer On The South Side.
The site’s future is no longer in doubt following the closure, as the team behind the riverside area have issued an update on planning permission for the Quayside.
Posted to social media on Wednesday, November 5, the update reads: “Having worked closely with the Local Authority since first activating the site at Hillgate Quay in 2018 we are pleased to be able to secure planning for the sites future.
“Initially brought to life for the Great Exhibition of the North and on a temporary basis the benefits of permanency will bring many more visitors to Gateshead and create a large number of full time jobs for its residents.”
It adds: “The site is truly unique in its positioning and we believe the scheme will benefit and complement the wider ambitions for Gateshead Quays which are hugely exciting.
“Over the years By The River has won accolades from near and far and we aim to build on that with this new heritage. To be able to create something with true legacy is a privilege and we look forward to moving forward with the project.”
