NORTHUMBERLAND - RESTAURANT & TAKEAWAY

Newsham is an area of Blyth located directly north of New Delaval. It grew significantly when Newsham Colliery was established in 1860, after which pit cottage terraces, local brick making and links by railway were developed. This property is adjacent to the mini roundabout in the centre of Newsham and is a two-storey detached property of brick and colour rendered elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof line with sizeable single storey trade and ancillary area extensions to rear. It briefly comprises:

The Willow Tree Inn was fully renovated and refurbished into a full service restaurant with additional ‘takeaway’ facilities during the lockdown in 2020/21 and has been rebranded ‘Scarletts’. Whilst the fully equipped restaurant has not yet opened for trade, the takeaway side of the business is increasing daily and offers a mix of foods from Tapas to Burgers. Although only into the first year of trading the vendors have built up a profitable takeaway business and with the refurbished restaurant ready to go an experienced operator could make this a profitable destination venue. The vendors have other business interests and cannot give their full time and attention to further develop Scarletts which currently operate on limited opening times.
