British bakery chain Greggs is welcoming people into The Golden Flake Tavern, a limited-time pub concept serving exclusive beers inspired by its best menu items.
The Golden Flake Tavern follows the success of the Champagne Bar Greggs opened for a limited time in 2024, and the fine dining Bistro Greggs pop-up in 2023. For five months, adults can visit the pop-up pub to experience the latest from Greggs and Fenwick, this time with a focus on beer and comfort food. When it comes to brews, two were developed with Full Circle Brew Co: the Pink Jammie Pale Ale and the Gosforth 1939 Stottie Lager, and for cocktail lovers, there's the Spiced Caramel Doughnut Old Fashioned. As far as food, standard pub fare is elevated with options like the Chicken Bake Parmo and a Ploughman’s platter with sausage roll slices.
