Matei Baran to open new venture in Waverly Terrace

Chef Matei Baran, who opened his first venture at Stack in Seaburn two years ago, has announced the opening of his new premises in Waverley Terrace; The Social and Kitchen.

It will serve Baran’s take on street food, designed exclusively for the pub diners. Housed in the premises of The Pickled Radish and previous to that a local working men’s club, Posh Street Food has refurbished the venue to represent Chef Matei’s food and drink offerings.

Due to open on September 2, The Social and Kitchen will be serving some opening offers to newcomers to the venue.

Baran said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult two years of trading with Posh Street Food at Seaburn, but we were determined to weather the storm. The Social and Kitchen by Chef Matei Baran is something that we are extremely proud of and want to offer a warm, relaxed atmosphere to the people of Sunderland and surrounding areas.

“You need to watch this space though, as we have another project underway in North Shields, which we will be unveiling very soon.”
