Blacks Corner – a speciality delicatessen, concept eatery and wine bar – is a new addition for this year.

The company, which is also celebrating its first anniversary since opening in East Boldon, is offering customers any one of its flatbreads and a cheese board (for one) for only £10 per person.

Chris Lowden, who runs Blacks Corner with his friend Jonathan Dryden, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Restaurant Week.

“It gives us an opportunity to showcase some of our fantastic artisan food to new customers, while also giving our regular visitors a great deal on our flatbreads and cheese boards.
