Inside Greggs first pub, the Golden Flake in Newcastle – with all its quirky trimmings
TOVer, there was a Hanking for a cold pint beer with a glazed jam like a donut? No, I too.
However, in the Golden Flake, the pub, which is apparently opened by Greggs, the unstoppable oven chain, everything is possible.
The interesting Pop-up in Fenwick’s store in Newcastle is a kind of place that could be designed by Willy Wonka-if he bought some booker because he retired from confectionery trade.
Pink Jammie Pale Ale, who is definitely one of the signature beers, was brewed in honor of the famous donuts of Greggs, although it was very strange for some customers – even though it was fair, how much you’ve noticed how much Cloying sweetness.
There is a more basic brewing on the pumps next to Jammie – Gosforth 1939 Stottie Lager has a strong clue of Stottie Cake (a flat bread black for those who have never enjoyed at all), another legendary geordie subtlety.
However, most customers came for The Food, a noble version of a simple fee in the 2,600 stores of GregGS throughout England.
GregGS’s popular paste, a covered egg on top, a side order and a steak of a grilled tomato in a mixed grill (£ 12.50) I ordered. The arrival of a sauce boat was confusing – was he accidentally brought to the wrong table?
When it is guaranteed by the smiling server, I wonder when I poured sauce on a fried egg for the last time. Conclusion: Never, but do not hit until you try. If this had come from Heston Blumenthal’s test kitchen, we would probably even greet him as.
The next meal was sausage roll and mash. This was not the “sick sausage roll ğı that Gazza said in Tyne in the post-world cup interpretation of Sis-no. You knew it was a posh, because it was diagonally cut twice and supported vertically to the mash, a scattering of dried sage leaves along the sauce developed.
These leaves were doing a heavy lifting because the cost of this dish is £ 9, 20 meters away from Greggs without Fancy in a paper bag for the same sausage roll compared to £ 1,50 £.
But was the price carved? Absolutely no – tables, Golden Flake sunny sunny week at 11:00 in the morning began to fill the doors.
Ryan and Lesley Coutts were spent the day of an appointment, the Ryan Stottie Lager and Lesley enjoyed a orchard with a fruit gate. What about pink jammi tried? Ryan gave an involuntary chill and confirmed that the bar staff is happy to give examples of those who are briefly curious.
The selection of the young parents shook his head to Gran Mary Youern, 84 years old, working in one of the first stores of Greggs in Washington, Tyne and Wear.
32 -year -old Ryan said: “Greggs is proud of such an institution in the North East and Nana’s relationship with her.
“Shares were offered years ago, but he decided on a bonus of £ 1,000, which took him and his grandfather to Italy on a wonderful holiday.
“Considering what happened since then, stocks could have been a better option, but they were happy.
“They also get 50 percent discount from Gregs for Life for Life, so you can’t complain about it.”
31 -year -old Lesley said, “Golden stamp is really beautiful, the decor reminds me of a little light museum, it’s very interesting.”
Toby Jugs shaking his head to his Toby Jugs collection by grinning from a high shelf: “And a little strange.”
Pat Grainger enjoyed his dinner the day after the Grangewood Care House in Shiney Row, near Sunderland. He said: “There was a sharing plate between our four people and it was very nice, especially the sausage rolls, you cannot defeat a Greggs and they made it beautiful.”
72 -year -old Malcolm Harrison and his wife, the youngest daughters, were celebrating Stacey’s 40th birthday.
Malcolm said: “We’re doing a family party tonight, but it looked like a beautiful place for a bite this day, just sausage rolls and fish goujons and a drink.
“People in the North East are proud of Greggs, not just a national concern, now it’s an international brand. We are proud of our sausage rolls in this region of the world.”
65 -year -old Ian Hall and 69 -year -old wife Jean, there were beginners. Mr. Hall said: ”We always come to the town on Tuesday and heard a lot about this place, so we wanted to try.
“Greggs seems to be growing, and I really love the ways of making your own pubs.”
Gold Flake will remain open until February next year and will operate like the other Newcastle Pub that hosts Quiz Nights on Tuesday evening.
On Sundays, it serves as a “traditional” market karmvery, but at the center of all decorations – cauliflower cheese, frying potatoes and Yorkshire puddings – Steak Oven, Chicken Oven or Cheese and onion Oven.
Kieran McBride, Fenwick’s store director, Independent: “It was very overwhelming in terms of response. Our third collaborations with Greggs, but this is the biggest cooperation so far.
“Both Fenwick’s and Greggs are famous names in the North East and we are happy to work very well together.”
