GREGGS is set to launch a champagne bar inside a popular department store before Christmas.
The beloved bakery chain is set to open the posh drinks spot inside Fenwick’s Newcastle store from October 24.
Visitors can indulge in some festive cheer, paired with Greggs’ famous bakes.
Customers can sip on a selection of top-tier Champagnes, with glasses starting at just £10 for a taste of Ca’ di Alte Prosecco, or go all out with a luxurious £75 glass of Louis Roederer Cristal.
Those looking for a fancy treat can splash out on a whole bottle of Cristal for a whopping £425.
This concept follows the success of last year’s Greggs Bistro at Fenwick, which attracted more than 8,000 visitors in just one month.
Diners enjoyed a unique twist on festive fare, featuring the popular festive bake alongside duck fat roasties, smoked pancetta, chestnuts, and sprouts.
This year’s menu, which runs until the end of December, has been crafted by Fenwick’s executive head chef Mark Reid in collaboration with Greggs.
The exclusive menu will only be available at the Fenwick’s Newcastle champagne bar and not chain stores.
Highlights include a steak bake served with a peppercorn aioli for just £4.95, and of course a hearty sausage, bean, and cheese melt with bloody Mary ketchup for £4.50.
Plus, the classic sausage roll has been revamped with a spicy hot honey chilli sauce—perfect for those who like a kick and under a fiver, selling at £4.
And for those with a sweet tooth, the Champagne bar won’t disappoint.
Guests can enjoy signature cocktails inspired by Greggs’ treats.
The bar is also stocked with non-alcoholic options like the refreshing peach Melba cocktail for £7.
The stylish Art Nouveau-style bar will seat just 16 guests at a time, who can summon top-ups by ringing vintage crystal bells.
Reservations are required, and the bar will be open from 11.30AM until the store closes at 7pm.
Hannah Squirrell, Greggs’ customer director said: “While Champagne and Greggs might not be the most immediate food and drink pairing, we’re thrilled to launch the Greggs Champagne Bar at Fenwick.
“We hope everyone who visited us last year—and many more—will enjoy this fun and unique experience, discovering that a chilled glass of Champagne alongside a sausage roll is the hottest ticket in Toon for 2024.”
Leo Fenwick, strategic partnerships director at Fenwick, added: “After the phenomenal success of last year’s Bistro Greggs at Fenwick, we’re proud to partner with Greggs once again to launch the Champagne Bar.
“This pop-up enhances our evolving restaurant offerings, creating a memorable in-store dining experience.”
Greggs doesn’t just offer delicious bakes; it’s also a haven for savvy shoppers looking to enjoy their treats without breaking the bank.
