The owners of popular pan Asian restaurant Geisha are set to roll out the brand across the UK after securing “significant” investment.
Geisha Restaurant’s colourful Japanese garden theme - with flowers, botanical murals and lanterns hanging from the ceiling - is almost as well known as its food and cocktails, making it one of the region’s most Instagrammable venues. Over the last two years the Jesmond site has welcomed regular visitors as well as tourists and celebrities, including the likes of Newcastle United defender Kieran Tripper, Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby and Love Island’s Lillie Haynes.
After securing investment, the company has now revealed plans to expand is Jesmond base, while also taking the firm’s famed dim sum – and decor – outside of the region. Owner John-Paul Gardner has revealed the first images of the next two restaurants, as well as a first look at how the Jesmond extension will look.
