Greggs and Fenwick have teamed up to open a fine-dining festive pop-up inside the department store’s Newcastle flagship.
Bistro Greggs, which runs throughout December, will serve “bespoke iterations of [the brand’s] favourite menu items” in a “Parisian-inspired” setting.
The à la carte menu, created in collaboration with Fenwick’s executive chef Mark Reid, includes a Greggs Benedict – the food chain’s classic sausage, bean and cheese melt “reimagined” with smoked ham, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce; and a festive bake served alongside duck-fat roasties, smoked pancetta, chestnuts and sprouts.

The pop-up will also serve a high tea for two, offering a three-tier sharing brunch with a posh twist on the sausage roll specialist’s “iconic bakes and sweet treats”.
Bistro Greggs draws design inspiration from the traditional bistros of Saint-Germain in France and features white-clothed tables, velvet banquette seating and marble countertops.
Customer director Hannah Squirrell said: “The launch of Bistro Greggs marks a watershed moment as we take our first step with Fenwick into classic French-inspired fine dining.
“Showcasing popular favourites across our menu, we’ve created an accessible menu featuring eloquent dishes with a Parisian twist, elevated through Fenwick’s gastronomic excellence and expertise.”
