Greggs the Boozer

[karatekid]

Apparently Greggs are opening a pub in Newcastle serving a couple of exclusive ales alongside the regular stuff and plating up their pasties and desserts as pub grub. Inside Fenwick shopping centre apparently. Worth a shout if your up that way.

I'd struggle to think of anything less appealing.

[Bosscat]

I think I would give that a miss thanks ...

[ClaretDiver]

I shall be visiting on our next trip into Newcastle, just for the novelty factor….

[Tribesmen]

Again this thing about pies in the UK .
For the life of me why do people buy something to eat in Burnley then walk around the town centre eating it .
Knives , forks , tables and chairs is it that difficult?

Wetherspoons Bakery perhaps...? Where they force cheap out of date pies and pastries on you while you are there

Hardly unique to the UK? Here in Germany, it's very normal to buy a Bratwurst and wander round the town with it. Often washed down with a bottle of ale.

Every morning I walk from my home in Lincoln and arrive in Greggs (2 km ) later for an amazing bacon bap brown sauce ( no spread)plus regular cappuccino for £2-95 - wonderful breakfast and can sit in to eat it and then walk a further 5 km get some shopping and bus home - great exercise doing around 5 miles a day - I am 81 next month

that's great Dave, but I really must pull you up on your sauce selection. BROWN sauce with BACON...! seriously, its ketchup with bacon and brown sauce for sausages surely...! (spread optional, but I prefer a good spread of real butter too)

[Dyched]

Ketchup?!?

What are you? 3?

not hard to understand surely...

[DAVETHEVICAR]

“Spread” is probably a sort of margarine but not necessary with hp sauce

[Dark Cloud]

Never been in a Gregg's and won't be starting!

[ElectroClaret]

Ketchup belongs on burgers, people.
HP all the way for bacon.

Best value fresh sandwiches on any high street or services and I include M&S. Their "healthy" range is genuinely decent if a bit limited.

Good on you Dark Cloud,I take you are a pound bakery fan then.

[Goalkeeper]

The "pub" is a rented space in a department store and is there until January. It's also £6.50 a pint. You can get a pie with Sunday roast trimmings.

Proper bacon from the local butchers and just enjoy it without ruining it by adding sauce.

I used to know a guy who would put mayo on a bacon butty

[Dark Cloud]

Absolutely not!

[Foshiznik]

I thought it was UK law that brown sauce is for breakfast baps and ketchup was for hotdogs

[Clovius Boofus]

It should be. Might as well slop vinegar, sugar and salt on your bacon butty.

[Tribesmen]

I know a guy who puts just pepper on his chips , never seen that anywhere else .

[No Ney Never]

Brown sauce, otherwise known as Branston without the lumps, why anyone would ruin a decent breakfast sandwich with that muck is beyond me.

Yeah lovely innit!!!
