This festive season, FRED’s on the lower ground floor of Fenwick Newcastle transforms into Barbour at FRED’s — a cosy countryside-inspired retreat wrapped in Barbour’s exclusive Winterberry tartan, designed especially for this season.

Step inside and discover a quintessentially British atmosphere that celebrates comfort, warmth, and the spirit of the great outdoors. Enjoy a special Barbour-inspired menu curated by FRED’s expert team, featuring hearty winter dishes, indulgent desserts, and comforting seasonal drinks — the perfect place to unwind after a day of Christmas shopping at Fenwick.

Inspired by founding family member Fred Fenwick’s passion for French culture and the Belle Époque era, FRED’s combines timeless elegance with a modern twist. Alongside the Barbour takeover, the all-day menu continues to serve signature classics like the Fred’s Club and Caesar Salad, alongside freshly baked viennoiserie, Italian-inspired dishes, and brunch favourites served throughout the day.
