Stylish restaurant brand The Ivy is looking for premises in Newcastle and has submitted planning permission for a prime spot on Grey Street. Planning permission has been submitted to Newcastle City Council to convert the current home of Byron – the Grade II-listed 104-108 Grey Street – into The Ivy Newcastle Brasserie.
The planning applications have been made by Troia (UK) Restaurants Limited, which owns and operates a number of restaurants, including the world-famous Ivy in Covent Garden.
At the moment, the closest Ivy brasseries to the North East are in York and Harrogate. www.ivycollection.com
