Work on a new venture by Newcastle's Michelin star chef Kenny Atkinson is gathering pace in Newcastle with all the signs pointing to a spring opening.
The House of Tides restaurateur is opening a second restaurant called Solstice with his wife Abbie in the former premises of her acclaimed Violet's Cafe on The Side.
The new sign for the restaurant is now up, alongside a gold plaque on the outside wall and the city food scene is eagerly awaiting its sparkling new addition.
