Burger King or KFC

Kevin Leonard, Michael Tulip and Dave Nattrass voted for a Burger King or KFC.

Japanese or Korean

David Aitken-Cartner said: "Would love Japan or Korean."

Bagel shop

Chris Hudson said: "A place where I can get fresh bagels."

International

Andrew David Robson said: "A French, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, Greek, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Indian or an Italian restaurant would be really good to have in Hexham. Rather than eating English food all the time, why not try out some meals made in other countries to have in our country?"

Nando's

Emma Potts Watson chose the South African chain Nando's, which specialises in Portuguese flame-grilled peri-peri style chicken.

Wagamama
