The owner of growing restaurant chain Tomahawk Steakhouse has unveiled plans to have 25 venues around the UK before the end of the year.
Howard Eggleston first launched the popular steak restaurants with the inaugural site five years ago in Potto, North Yorkshire, specialising in supersize Tomahawk steaks, Himalayan salt dry-aged beef and Yorkshire wagyu. Its popularity has led to openings across the North East and further afield under three brands – Rio Brazilian Steakhouse, Tomahawk Steakhouse and Pollo – including bases in Yarm, Newcastle, Jesmond, Ponteland.
The group, which currently has turnover over £35m, is now putting rapid expansion plans into action, starting with the opening of its site in Walkergate, Durham, on the site of the former Chiquito restaurant. Around £300,000 has been invested into the Durham site, creating 30 jobs new jobs at the 110-cover restaurant.
