Further developments within Metrocentre’s food and drink portfolio include:

• Tomahawk Steakhouse, the North East based, premium steakhouse renowned for high-quality cuts and a unique dining atmosphere, is currently fitting out its new restaurant on Upper Yellow Mall, set to open before the end of the year.

• ASK Italian, Nando’s and Wagamama have invested in significant refurbishments to enhance their dining experience at Metrocentre’s Qube. ASK Italian has completed a full refit to refresh its contemporary Italian dining experience, while Nando’s has also completed a refit, ensuring a vibrant and welcoming environment for its customers. Wagamama has finished a refurbishment of its 6,000 sq ft restaurant creating a warm environment for diners to enjoy nourishing Asian soul food.
• Meanwhile, Greggs is fitting out its new large store format in upper Town Square, opening in December to cater to the high footfall at Metrocentre.

Noah Knapton, Asset Manager at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, Asset Managers of Metrocentre, commented: “Quality F&B is critical for the shopping centre of the future, appealing to different visit intentions, so Metrocentre’s strategy focuses just as much on introducing new and exciting options as it does on working with existing operators to create the best experience possible. These new openings, refurbishments, and upsizes are a testament to the centre’s appeal as a prime destination for both established and emerging food and drink operators.”

Howard Eggleston, Founder of Tomahawk Steakhouse, added: “Our team is working hard to create a warm, inviting space that reflects everything special about Tomahawk. With Metrocentre’s vibrant atmosphere and high footfall, it’s the perfect location to introduce our signature ‘Steak on a Stone’ experience, where diners can cook each bite exactly to their liking for a truly memorable meal.”

With a diverse selection of restaurants, cafes and takeaway options, Metrocentre’s expanding food and drink portfolio continues to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences with over 60 options to choose from.
