A new restaurant will open this week as part of an adjoining hotel’s £2m refurb.

Chicken-based restaurant Social Bird will land in Newcastle on Friday, April 5 on Fenkle Street, just off Westgate Road.

Bosses at the company say their new venue will offer diners something for every occasion, be it coffee, lunch, dinner or cocktails.

The eatery comes as part of a £2m refurb of the city’s Hotel Indigo and replaces its Marco Pierre White Steakhouse.

Specialties on the menu include chicken schnitzels and burgers, and the venue boasts a separate breakfast menu and deli counter with takeout options.
