It started in Durham.
The story keeps growing.
Every table has its own story. The friends catching up, the family celebrating, the evening that lasts a little longer than planned. There’s room for yours at Tia’s.
Food brings us to the table. People make the evening.
Tia’s began in Durham in 1996. Our intimate cantina on Claypath became the starting point for a story built around Mexican food, colourful drinks and a welcoming atmosphere.
We want a visit to feel easy: settle in, choose something you love and enjoy the people you’re with. Whether it’s your first visit or your familiar favourite, make yourself at home.
Our first chapter: Durham
A small cantina with plenty of character. Our original Durham restaurant brings a cosy, colourful setting to Claypath.
A new chapter: Newcastle
Thirty years on, our story expands to The Gate. A larger restaurant and bar brings Tia’s to Newcastle with more space for food, cocktails and lively evenings.
