"It's a soft opening to begin with," Roger said. "Because we have The Beaumont, quite a few people have had an idea of what's happening because they're always asking. It's a pop-up to begin with so we're refurbishing the rest of the building and then we'll open a permanent restaurant."

They will utilise the summer and put tables and chairs outside.

"You can come in just for a drink, or for food and drink. The food is just light bites with pinsa, a type of pizza," Roger added.

He said: "I think this particular location has the best outside seating in Hexham and also you're right on the market square so there's a lot of footfall."
