A leisure company is expanding its popular pan Asian restaurant brand The Muddler around the North East.
Newcastle based Danieli Group opened the doors to The Muddler on Newcastle’s Grey Street in 2018, offering dim sum, Asian style tapas and more substantial dishes alongside an extensive cocktail list. Its popularity led to the company – which also owns Stack Seaburn and Yolo Ponteland and Yolo Townhouse in Newcastle – doubling the size of the restaurant, having spent months turning people away because all tables were fully booked.
Now the company is looking to transform the former Kalinka bar and nightclub at the corner of Exchange Square in Middlesbrough into a second site. If approved, the venue – in part of Commerce House – will become a 100 seater pan-Asian restaurant and cocktail bar with a private dining area in the domed space on the top floor.
