New restaurant set to open at the Royal William Yard

28th June 2024

A new restaurant is set to open in Plymouth's eye-catching Royal William Yard, bringing a taste of Miami Beach to Royal William Yard.

The News Café is set to be a new arrival to the city, offering everything from coffee to cocktails, early-morning breakfasts to late-night nibbles, and everything in between.

Taking its inspiration from the legendary News Café in Miami beach – which grew from being a newsstand and café in the 1980s into a must-visit destination for everything from brunch to sundowners – its Plymouth namesake plans to bring the same vision to the West Country waterfront. With pastel tones and Art Deco décor, the venue will echo the vibe of Miami’s iconic South Beach.

Situated in a sweet spot; the News Café will overlook the water on two sides and boast a sun-soaked terrace for drinking and dining outdoors by Royal William Yard’s Marina. Based in the Mills Bakery building, inside the News Café will be a bustling bar, a relaxed dining area, and an open kitchen with a large pizza oven at it centre.

Part of a grander vision, the independently owned restaurant is one of two News Café eateries opening this summer, with the other launching in Salisbury. This is the brainchild of local business owner, Mike Turner, who brings 40 years’ retail and marketing experience to this new venture. Mike has a longstanding connection to Plymouth, from his school days right through to establishing multiple successful businesses in the city over the decades – including the Six O’Clock Club professional network.

Generating more than 40 new local jobs, there are a range of employment opportunities available at the News Café. Those keen to begin or further a career in hospitality can apply for management, kitchen, and front of house roles in the coming weeks.
