Once just the title of a Catherine Cookson novel, The Black Candle is now the name of
00:04
the borough's newest coffee house and bar. Based on Dean Road in Westdorf Village, it
00:09
is the brainchild of John Scroggins who wanted his newest business venture to give a nod
00:13
to his hometown of South Shields. The venue will be open 7 days a week and will serve
00:17
a mixture of locally sourced food and drinks. The local theme has been strong throughout
00:21
the process of opening The Black Candle, with the entire venue constructed using companies
00:26
and tradesmen from throughout the North East.
00:28
It is hard to miss the nods to the borough's heritage, with Bob Olley's timber tram painting
00:32
impossible to miss as you walk into the venue. You can treat yourself to a pint of Sir William
00:36
Fox lager and Catherine Cookson herself features on the back of the drinks menu.
00:40
The Black Candle is now officially open, so head along and give it a try.
