Tapas restaurant brings “Mediterranean culture” to Gateshead Metrocentre with six-figure investment

Following openings in London, Birmingham, Sheffield Bath, Brighton, Liverpool and Essex, Tapas Revolution has today revealed the opening date for its new restaurant in the North East.

Tapas Revolution, known for “exciting” Spanish dining, vino and cervezas from its origins in Madrid/Barcelona,will bring the “taste of Spain’’ to the Metrocentre, marking its 11th venue in Britain.

Diners in the region will also be the first to try Tapas Revolution’s brand-new menu, as the new location will be the first to launch a selection of new dishes, which include plates for little ones, a range of sangrias, Spanish beers and sparkling wine served from the Cava region of Spain.

To celebrate the grand opening, on Saturday November 19, the first 100 diners to join will receive one complimentary dish to try from the main menu. One lucky diner will also receive a £100 voucher to use on their next visit to Tapas Revolution as part of their “Great Tapas Giveaway”.

The menu from Tapas Revolution includes classics such as Tortilla, Croquetas de Jamón, Calamari, Chorizo cooked in Asturian cider and freshly made Churros, as well as Castilian ewe’s milk cheese served with quince jelly, Crispy slow-cooked pork belly with a sweet and spicy sauce, and Crispy fried aubergine with a spiced honey and thyme dressing.

James Picton, managing director of Tapas Revolution, commented: “We have had ambitions to open within the Metrocentre for a while now and with the North East having such a rich historic culture and a diverse food scene, we feel the Tapas Revolution brand, culture and flavours will sit perfectly here.

“It’s so important to us that we take time to search for the right location, and I’m delighted that our new restaurant within the Qube at the Metrocentre fits the bill perfectly.”

“We pride ourselves in creating a menu full of flavours and Mediterranean culture, serving dishes that taste like tapas you experience in Spain, alongside our authentic Spanish hospitality, the relaxed vibe at Tapas Revolution centres around Spain’s culinary culture of sharing, socialising and eating.”

Tapas Revolution in Gateshead will be located in the Upper Yellow Mall of the Qube in the Metrocentre where extensive work is underway. The arrival of Tapas Revolution at the Metrocentre will create 25 new jobs and has had a six figure investment into the restaurant to seat up to 115 diners.
