A former Newcastle tea room that shut its doors more than two years ago is set to reopen under new ownership.
The Teahouse on Eldon Place, Newcastle, has been closed since 2020 after falling into administration - but next month it will be brought back to life by the Northumberland Restaurant Company. The venue was better known as the Quilliam Brothers’ Teahouse before it was sold in 2019 when its founders decided to explore new opportunities abroad.
But now the Northumberland Restaurant Company will reopen the venue under the new name of Claremont Tea House following the takeover of the site, which is part of Newcastle University. The group also recently acquired the DotBagel outlets in Newcastle under the Kennedy and Rhind banner and is co-owner of two other hospitality businesses – Lovage in Jesmond and Novellos in Washington.
