Terry Laybourne to open Newcastle pub
Chef and restaurateur Terry Laybourne's company, 21 Hospitality Group, is to open a pub in Newcastle.
The pub called the Broad Chare, is located on Newcastle's Quayside and is being developed in partnership with nearby Live Theatre.
Former Michelin-starred chef Laybourne already operates Italian restaurant Caffe Vivo within Live Theatre's complex.
Laybourne's Cafe 21 sous chef Chris Eagle will be head chef at the pub.
The pub is set to open in early May. The menu will focus on English, seasonal dishes with food such as crackling, pork pies and Scotch eggs of offer in the bar and a more sophisticated menu in the site's dining room with "straighforward not over-designed food."
The Broad Chare will also have a big focus on craft beer and real ales and the business is working with Wylam Brewery to develop a bespoke ale.
