Newcastle Restaurant Week returns in January with over 100 sites involved

Scheduled for Monday 13th – Sunday 19th January, the much-loved event offers diners the chance to eat at some of the city’s best restaurants for £15, £20 or £25 per person.

With over 100 venues confirmed for this January, it is the perfect time to explore Newcastle’s vibrant restaurant scene.

Last year’s two NE1 Restaurant Weeks in January and August generated over £2.2 million for participating restaurants and delivered a vital boost to the hospitality sector during traditionally quiet periods of the year.

Newcastle’s restaurant scene continues to flourish, and some of the city’s newcomers were among the first to sign up for NE1’s January event; DOOD, Cilantro, Sunshine Restaurant, Fred’s and EL& N at Fenwick will all join the line-up, alongside some of the original participants including 21, Blackfriars, and The Broad Chare.

Newcomer, DOOD, occupies one of the finest locations on Newcastle’s Quayside. Part of the highly successful and celebrity-favoured Khai Khai and Dabbawal family, the new restaurant has already attracted a hue fanbase.

Commenting on January’s event and what it means for the city, Rachel Barlow, Head of Marketing and Events at NE1 said:

“NE1’s Newcastle Restaurant Week is a key date in people’s diaries, a chance to get together with friends, family and work colleagues, and a great way to dine out on a budget. For businesses, the event is a lifeline in what would otherwise be a slow month after the Christmas and New Year festivities.

“Restaurant Week creates a real buzz in Newcastle, bringing more than 60,000 people into the city, filling restaurants, guaranteeing working hours for restaurant staff, and encouraging diners to try new foods and restaurants.

“The event also boosts business for other leisure and hospitality venues and public transport operators. Browse all the menus and book early at your favourite restaurant to avoid disappointment.”
