SSP, the travel concession operator, has opened a second Cabin bar at Newcastle International Airport.
The first Cabin opened at Waterloo Station in 2012 and a third is set for Stansted Airport later this spring.
Gill Caleary, commercial director at Newcastle International Airport, said; “We are investing £14 million with our business partners, so far we’ve opened a number of new facilities including the Aspire Lounge, Flying Hippo and Beer House. They’ve all been given a very warm welcome by North East passengers and have been very busy over the summer and festive periods. We’re delighted SSP have opened The Cabin and look forward to their next developments.”
Simon Smith, CEO UK and Ireland at SSP said: “Cabin is a brand that works well at any travel location looking to offer customers the chance to relax and watch the world go by in an environment that allows them a moment’s escape from the stress of modern life. Sales have risen steadily at London Waterloo, where the brand was launched in 2012. Today the Waterloo bar is a popular choice for a pre-theatre dinner or a business lunch as well as with commuters. We expect Cabin to be equally well received by passengers at Newcastle and at Stansted, where the third outlet will open in the Spring.”
The bar will serve Champagne from Lanson, Peroni and wine from Corney & Barrow. It will include a Chablis from Domaine Millet, an Argentinian Malbec by Bodega Ruca Malen, and Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moins 2002 vintage champagne.
On the food menu, passengers can enjoy small bites including salted cod croquettes or Cabin pate, as well as larger dishes such as Mezze, charcuterie and cheeses from specialist retailer Pong.
The bar is designed around an island bar with the décor designed to reflect the elegance of travel in a bygone era.
