There will also be a cocktails such as the Pink Jammie Fizz and a Spiced Caramel Doughnut Old Fashioned, alongside a full drinks menu including soft drinks, wines, Newcstle Brown Ale and Guiness.

The pub will offer a number of twists on its bakery classics including a chicken bake parmo and a steak bake mixed grill.

It also plans to offer guests a ploughman’s platter and a Greggs carvery with all the trimmings on Sundays.

In 2023, the bakery chain opened an 80-cover “fine-dining” restaurant in the same site at Fenwicks.

The steak bake was paired with truffled creamy dauphinoise potatoes, green beans and a serving of almonds, while the Greggs Yum Yum was drizzled in caramel sauce and macadamia brittle – all served in silver cloches by waiters dressed in traditional white shirts, ties and Bistro Greggs aprons.
