This December, family-owned department store Fenwick is collaborating with leading food-on-the-go retailer Greggs on a one-of-a-kind pop-up at Fenwick Newcastle. This is set to be one of the hottest new restaurant openings this Christmas.
Launching on Friday 1 December and running to New Year’s Eve, Bistro Greggs will be an all-day dining destination, from 9am to 8pm serving breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes from a Parisian-inspired space on the department store’s first floor. Guests will access through a pergola, a playful nod to the Greggs’ signature lattice pastry design. Available to book in advance, with tables set aside for walk-ins. Bistro Greggs will offer a fine dining experience, with dishes served under silver cloches by waiters in Bistro Greggs aprons and traditional white shirts and ties.
The brands, both founded in the North East, have a combined heritage of 225 years, are teaming up for the first time to open a French-style restaurant, Bistro Greggs. The restaurant will serve bespoke iterations of Greggs favourite menu items, paired with Fenwick Food Hall wines and a signature cocktail created by award-winning bar, Mother Mercy at Fenwick Newcastle – The Pink Jammie Fizz inspired by Greggs’ hard-to-resist iconic Pink Jammie doughnut.
The indulgent menu, specially created by Fenwick Executive Head Chef, Mark Reid, in collaboration with Greggs, will see interpretations of their much-loved menu items enhanced through Fenwick culinary flair and gastronomic excellence. If you think you know the iconic Greggs Festive Bake? Think again. The lunch menu at Bistro Greggs sees it served a-la-carte with duck-fat roasties, smoked pancetta, chestnuts and sprouts, while a real Greggs favourite, the Steak Bake, is taken to new culinary heights by being accompanied by truffled dauphinoise potatoes, green beans and almonds.
