The owners of Newcastle's popular Hibou Blanc restaurant are set to open a stunning cafe bar on the city's Grey Street.
Work is under way to transform the former Davidson’s jewellers into a new venue called Grey Owl. It will serve coffee and brunch daily and offer an extensive drinks menu featuring cocktails and wine as well as a range of tasty sharing boards and oysters.
Davidson’s, which dated back to 1898, closed its site next to the Theatre Royal three years ago amid tough retail conditions.
