John and Kimberley Calton, and Jimmy Laffan – the team behind The Staith House – are setting up a new bistro in Newcastle.
Route promises casual dining with an unfussy seasonal British bistro menu and a good wine list. John says: “We’re going for a slightly different concept, something a little bit more refined than the pub concept at Staith House. There will be a big focus on wines with some really interesting organic and bio-dynamic varieties, and we’ll be using the same great ingredients from across the North East. We’ll also have a cracking Sunday lunch on.” We can’t wait.
