A seafront restaurant is set to open overlooking the beach at Seaburn following a £250,000 investment.
Ben Wall and Neil Bassett, who have overseen Sunderland’s Mexico 70, Holmeside Coffee and The Ship Isis, were last year picked as preferred tenants for the Bay Shelter on Seaburn’s Lower Promenade. The entrepreneurs are now days away from launching the resulting high-end seafood eaterie, North, which will also create 10 new jobs.
The restaurant will have a “soft” launch this weekend before its official public opening on January 4, when it will unveil its full menu. North will serve seafood dishes, natural wines and craft beers and is set to be the city’s only dedicated seafood restaurant, following its six-figure restoration.
