A popular New York style brasserie has opened its second site in a unique building on Gosforth High Street, thanks to legal support from leading law firm Mincoffs Solicitors.
Babucho Gosforth recently opened in the converted United Reformed Church, a listed building which was previously home to Barluga.
Keith Ravenhill, associate solicitor in Mincoffs’ real estate team, assisted with the lease of the building, while licensing and gaming partner Matt Foster liaised with Robby Scott, managing director at Babucho, and Peter Hodgson, managing director at Dakota House of Design.
Mincoffs’ support involved submitting a variation to change the layout of the premises and the successful result allowed the team to deliver a more food-oriented style concept than the space had previously, with booth seating downstairs and the addition of private dining rooms.
“We have worked with Mincoffs since our inception and they not only have a deep understanding of the leisure sector, but also of our individual business,” said Robby.
“Their advice was invaluable in the launch of our most recent Gosforth site and we look forward to working with them as we continue with our future growth plans.”
Mincoffs Solicitors has worked with the operators of Babucho for over 10 years, assisting with the continuous development of the Quayside site.
“The former church is an amazing venue with plenty of character and we were delighted to work with Robby to help bring Babucho in Gosforth to realisation,” said Matt.
“We have been involved in this project since its inception and it is fantastic to see the team’s hard work pay off with the restaurant open and busy with customers.
“Babucho is a brilliant addition to Gosforth High Street and we wish them all the best in the future.”
