And the first 100 diners through the door will be able to get their hands on a free tapas dish each, 20% off their next visit, and be entered into a draw to win one of five £100 gift vouchers.

There’ll also be a Balearic DJ-cum-entertainer performing for diners on the opening day.

The arrival of the chain’s eleventh UK store in the North East comes after a six-figure investment and has already created 25 new jobs. Some vacancies are still available for wait staff.

James Picton, managing director of Tapas Revolution, told The Northern Echo: “We are delighted to be opening our doors to the people of the North East in our Metrocentre restaurant, this Saturday.

“The response and excitement that we have already received prior to the opening to our venue on Saturday is absolutely amazing.”
