The owners behind Northumberland's newest food and drink venues are celebrating after seeing turnover soar far beyond their expectations due to overwhelming support from locals.
Hummingbird Café Bar in Amble opened its doors in March as the brainchild of couple Chris and Becca Green, with the stylish venue specialising in cocktails and grazing boards. Named after a tattoo shared by Becca and her dad, Hummingbird originally started out as a 20-page cocktail leaflet and a string of pop-up events - and has come on in leaps and bounds ever since after being fully embraced by the people of Northumberland.
As well as their bustling Queen Street bar, Chris and Becca have also created a 200-page cocktail book and a range of "at home" cocktails by the bottle - and the Amble couple have seen their business take off faster than they could ever have dreamed. Chris, formerly a mixologist at Newcastle Quayside's Michelin-starred House of Tides, said: "We are already well on our way to hitting our three-year targets within only ten months."
