The Assembly Rooms have been a Newcastle landmark for nearly 250 years. A vast barn of a place, I’ve only ever been inside for the odd wedding. The food was nothing to write home about, though the couples seemed happy enough with their big day.
But now the downstairs part of the building has had “a glamorous reincarnation”, and the big black hoardings outside proclaim it as “Newcastle’s Premier Venue”.
