Northumberland's first Michelin-starred restaurant is set to close its doors for good.
Hjem will host one final night of celebration on New Year's Eve, marking the end of six years.
The restaurant will be closing to make way for the team’s next venture, Freyja, due to open in 2026.
Alex Nietosvuori, head chef and co-founder of Hjem, said: "We wanted our final night at Hjem to feel like a true celebration – not just of what we’ve achieved, but of the people who have been part of it.
"Every dish, every song, every glass raised will be a thank you to our guests and team.
"It’s less of a farewell and more of a full-hearted send-off before we turn the page and begin the next story at Freyja."
Hjem’s Last Hurrah will take place on New Year’s Eve and will replace the usual tasting menu for a night of celebration.
Guests will be able to move freely throughout the restaurant, bar, and garden (weather permitting), enjoying food from the grill and seafood bar, sweet treats, with the front of house team keeping the drinks flowing with bespoke cocktails, Champagne and fine wines.
Drink masterclasses will run throughout the evening.
From 11pm, live DJs will take over before fireworks light up the Northumberland sky to welcome 2026.
Tickets include Champagne on arrival and at midnight, all food, beverages and masterclasses.
Ally Thompson-Nietosvuori, restaurant manager and co-founder of Hjem, said: "Hjem has always been about more than exquisite food.
"It’s been about warmth, generosity, and the sense of belonging that comes from gathering around a table.
"This New Year’s Eve, we’ll celebrate that spirit one last time – with laughter, music and a bit of magic.
"It will be an evening to remember, and a beautiful way to close the doors on a place that has meant so much to us all."
The team’s next venture, Freyja, is set to open in 2026 on the Close House Estate near Wylam.
It will feature a purpose-built restaurant and guest rooms, offering an 'expanded' dining experience blending Northumbrian ingredients with Nordic technique and design.
Tickets for Hjem’s Last Hurrah are available at restauranthjem.co.uk.
