Newcastle's Thermidor Oyster Bar closed after two years due to financial strain from high costs and low spending.
Newcastle’s Thermidor Oyster Bar & Brasserie has closed after two years, with owners Josh and Jess Gregory attributing the shutdown to unsustainable financial pressures, including high rent, rising costs for labor and ingredients, and declining customer spending due to the cost of living crisis.
They cited the lack of a crucial summer revenue boost and the industry’s high failure rate—80% of new restaurants fail within a year—as key factors.
Similar struggles are affecting other local eateries, like Fratelli Roma, where owner Daniel Kibble cited escalating costs for essentials and interest rates.
With no significant government support and ongoing inflation, more closures are expected unless broader economic conditions improve.
