£150k investment in revamp of No. 1 Whitehall Leeds restaurant The Riverside

Owners of the newly rebranded ‘The Riverside’ have invested £150k in the revamp of the No. 1 Whitehall Riverside restaurant in Leeds.

Previously called The Roast Cafe, the restaurant has extended its lease and landlord NFU Mutual has recently concluded a £150k improvement programme of the building’s reception area delivering an improved arrival experience for visitors and existing occupiers.

David Hidderley, from NFU Mutual, commented: “I am delighted to have concluded the lease extension with The Riverside. This represents further commitment to our existing and future occupiers in an on-site facility which is widely used and valued.”

Matthew Firth, manager of The Riverside, said, “Owing to greater demand for high quality food and drink on site, we have extended our lease in the building. The newly refurbished The Riverside is the perfect spot for breakfast in hurry, a morning meeting or a lunch with colleagues.

“We can also host a variety of events from BBQ’s by the river, drinks events with a DJ or four course seated meals.”

Eamon Fox from Knight Frank, joint letting agent with JLL, concluded: “Recent lettings and lease extensions show the continuing expectations of occupiers for the highest quality buildings to deliver their goals. With further interest, we expect the building to be fully let in the very near future.”
