TGI Fridays launches new concept in Newcastle with two more set to open


American diner-style chain, TGI Fridays has revealed its new concept restaurant, the first of its kind during the brand’s 30-year history.

The new-style restaurant has just opened in Newcastle’s Eldon Square and offers a more premium, exciting experience for guests, including live music and DJs.

The restaurant is open for breakfast for a variety of occasions. Options on the breakfast menu include classics like American pancakes, chicken creole hash and the Jack Daniel’s American breakfast. The lunch menu aims to offer value, variety and quick service for those ‘on the go’.

Two more new-concept Fridays will be opening in the UK between now and February.

Karen Forrester, TGI Fridays UK CEO, said, “Newcastle loves Fridays and Fridays loves Newcastle – which is why we have chosen the city as the first place in the UK to try our brand new concept restaurant, which features an even better Fridays experience plus fantastic new food and drink.

“These new restaurants will retain the heritage of Fridays but mix it with new offerings for all times of the day and night whether that is breakfast, a relaxed meeting over coffee, or an indulgent, celebratory, evening meal with live entertainment. We are so excited to open our doors at Eldon Square, unleashing even more Fridays fun to the local area.”
