The 14-strong group, which operates Tomahawk-branded steakhouses in locations including Yarm, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle, and York, as well as Rio Brazilian Steakhouses and a Pollo Chicken Shop, has secured a new venue in prominent Morpeth location with Bradley Hall.

Howard Eggleston opened the first Tomahawk Steakhouse in Potto, North Yorkshire, in 2017, quickly drawing regular crowds with its Tomahawk steaks, Himalayan salt dry-aged beef and Yorkshire Wagyu. Its success has led to many more openings across the country and a new site in the historic market town of Morpeth; a letting that was led by Bradley Hall.

Owner of the meat connoisseur firm, Howard Eggleston said: “2022 has opened out to be a really exciting time for the expansion of the Tomahawk group and we have been inundated with potential sites all over the UK.

“We are busy daily touring the country meeting with landlords and agents, securing sites, but that doesn’t mean we are anywhere near capacity. The site in Morpeth will be another brilliant edition to our steadily growing business and with four more in the pipeline coming soon, the Tomahawk team are very excited for what the future holds.”

Neil Hart, managing director of Bradley Hall who led the letting said: “We are thrilled to be able to assist with the letting of such a prominent space to a successful hospitality firm that is going from strength to strength across the country. Having Tomahawk at Market Place in Morpeth will be a brilliant addition to the high street and will be a positive addition for locals and visitors alike.”

Tomahawk Steakhouse is scheduled to open its doors on 4 Market Place in Morpeth in late September.
