Camerons has acquired the Eye on the Tyne on the Quayside in Newcastle from Greene King.
The deal, completed yesterday, includes the purchase of the lease from Greene King, plus the transfer of all current staff. Camerons said the outlet would not close and would continue to trade in its current form for the foreseeable future.
Separately Camerons has partnered with barbecue concept Longhorns at The Dun Cow in Sunderland. Longhorns currently operates from two pubs in Newcastle.
Commenting on the Eye on the Tyne Camerons director Chris Soley said: “We know what an important social hub the Quayside has always been for the people of Newcastle, and we have been chasing an outlet down there for some time. There are some really good operators on the Quayside, and I fully believe we can run the Eye on the Tyne to further enhance the consumer experience in this area. We inherit a really good team of people and are going to run the pub exactly as it is until we really understand what our customers want.”
