Andrew Constantinou, owner of George’s Great British Kitchen, added:
“George’s Great British Kitchen is all about changing the way people enjoy and think of British food whist adding a unique twist to quintessentially British dishes. The positivity with which our intu Victoria restaurant in Nottingham has been received, inspired us to share it with the people of Newcastle.
We aim to create a restaurant that ‘wows’ and celebrates our country in a fun, properly British way with hints of the seaside, beach huts and candyfloss. We want our customers to talk about how much they loved it for weeks on end after their visit!
To us a kitchen is much more than just a word. It’s a place that’s all about freshly prepared food, get-togethers and good times. We took the essence of family cooking and made it fun and unique with national award winning fish and chips, succulent charcoal grills, British tapas and more! Just some of the unique items you’ll be able to enjoy are our halloumi and home smoked aubergine and tahini burger, teriyaki salmon cake & mushy pea fritter with banana chili salsa and wasabi mayo, and for dessert, our caramelised candyfloss brule or retro arctic roll and a modern day ‘Vim Tonic’.”
