Hide has finally opened and it’s a vibe: here’s an exclusive look inside

THE VIBE

Heaton’s dining scene is having a moment, and Hide is here to bring something new to the table. Open seven days a week, serving food Monday – Saturday, this contemporary new restaurant feels like a cosy retreat from the hustle and bustle of Chillingham Road – perfect for escaping the dark winter days and nights.

With space for 28 diners, a spacious bar and a private dining room, Hide’s stylish interior draws inspiration from its sister venue, Nest. As soon as you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the beautiful décor, which features a statement ceiling covered with tree branches, mood lighting and stunning décor that creates a welcoming vibe.

The attention to detail is second to none, from the high-quality glassware and cutlery to the beautiful plates. The illuminated bar area and comfy, chic seating enhance the relaxed dining experience, made even better by the friendly, top-notch service.

À la carte – December’s menu

Start your evening by indulging in the luxury of oysters with 3 for £10 or go all out with 6 for £18.

There’s a range of starters to choose from. From the rich depth of roe deer tartar to the velvety smoothness of a wild mushroom parfait, there’s something for every palate. Fancy something a little different? Try the beef fat crumpet topped with black garlic or the perfectly balanced mulled wine poached pear – perfect for veggies.

Let’s move on to the mains. The confit turkey leg ballotine brings our favourite festive flavours with its chestnut and apricot stuffing. Our eyes are the the wild halibut with smoked eel sauce and Jerusalem artichoke. If you’re plant-based Hide have got you covered with the pumpkin and pine nut pithivier. 

Desserts are the cherry on top of this gourmet journey. From the creamy Seville orange posset to the rich and indulgent dark chocolate torte, finish your evening off with something sweet.
