A 'reputable' North East burger business could join forces with a new gaming venue in Northumberland.
Red October Games and The Tavern opened last month at the Old Picture House in Mickley, Stocksfield, and its owners said they have seen a huge amount of support so far.
Tyla Fearon, one of three directors, explained The Tavern is their own bar, while Red October Games forms the gaming side of the business.
There is also a retail shop full of trading cards, miniatures, and roleplaying books, and a free-to-use gaming arena.

He said business has been 'amazing' since it hosted its official opening on August 2.
"We've had so much support from the local community as well as from a lot of gamers. It's reinforced that we're doing the right thing, opening where we are, and we've had consistently increasing numbers at events, alongside weekly events we do," Tyla said.
He added that they were planning upcoming Christmas events and selling mystery bundles and boxes from Red October Games, which would be the ideal gift for fans of Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer and Yu-Gi-Oh!, among others.
"We're hopefully going to get the kitchen sorted out in the near future; we're just waiting on the finalisation of the plans," Tyla said.
It's hoped that a 'very reputable' North East burger company will soon begin to supply food.
"He's going to provide food, not just for events but for anyone wishing to come in. That's going to help deliver to a wider audience, which is a huge push he wants to do, because he's got a huge demand for his business. His burgers are fantastic," Tyla said.
The Tavern will be redecorated in the near future in keeping with a 'fantasy theme'.
More gaming events are planned to be held after Christmas, such as weekly leagues and learn-to-play leagues.
"On the bar side, we're starting a pub quiz from this Friday (September 26), which will be once a month at the end of every month. On Saturdays for the next month, we're doing £3 a pint for all of our handpulled ales."
Red October Games and The Tavern have separate Facebook pages, which you can follow for updates.
