00:00We're thrilled to bring back Anyone's Newcastle Restaurant Week this January.

00:03It's always a culinary highlight for so many across the year.

00:07We've run it two times across the year and this year we have over 114 restaurants involved

00:12and that number continues to grow year on year.

00:15Anyone's Newcastle Restaurant Week is an event which happens twice a year and it allows us

00:20to come out into some of the best city restaurants and dine at a discounted rate.

00:24It's always such a popular time for many.

00:26It's a great excuse just after Christmas if you haven't managed to catch up with

00:29friends or family and a great time to get out as colleagues in the office as well to

00:34explore some of the city's best restaurants.

00:36It's something we always as a team look forward to putting on.

00:39Everybody's excited about it, whether it's restaurants like here in Millow and Carter

00:42or also diners who are always straight in the group chats ready to book their favourite

00:47restaurants.

00:49Restaurant Week has a huge economic impact for the hospitality businesses in the city

00:53centre.

00:54Last year there was over two million economic impact from the two events that we put on

00:58but it's not just the economic impact in the venues themselves.

01:01People come in on public transport, they may stay and enjoy a show or enjoy a glass of

01:05wine prior or afterwards.

01:07So it does just bring a huge boost for the area beyond those initial restaurants that

01:12do get involved.

01:14Restaurant Week was an initiative which we started back in 2011 where we had 13 restaurants

01:18in the city who thought this was a brilliant idea and it turns two of hopefully the quietest

01:22times of the year into two of the busiest and since then it has grown in strength and

01:27numbers and reputation.

01:29This year January's Restaurant Week is 13th to the 19th of January so the Monday right

01:33the way through to the Sunday so whether you want to enjoy a quick lunch or a relaxing

01:37evening meal or maybe both, it gives you plenty of opportunities to do that.

01:41You can see all the venues who are involved on our website getintonewcastle.co.uk and

01:47all of them are listed on there as well as all their menus so you can be a little bit

01:50choosy and find your favourite or maybe try one of the new venues.

01:53We've got over five new venues in the city centre this year and we're really excited

01:57to allow them to have their first experience.
