An animal rights group claim that their protest at a Michelin Star restaurant was a success - despite sitting in the bar instead of the restaurant.
Nine members of Animal Rebellion entered House of Tides in Newcastle when it opened at around 6pm on Saturday evening. The fine dining restaurant, run by chef Kenny Atkinson, is located on the Quayside.
The group aimed to occupy tables in the venue which has been reserved for diners. They sat at tables with mock menus outlining the group's demands for a plant-based future.
