'World's first' Greggs champagne bar opens with fizz and luxury sausage rolls

Food fans can now enjoy a beloved sausage roll alongside a glass of fizz as the very first champagne bar has opened its doors.

There's nothing like a glass of champagne when it's time to celebrate or a Greggs , and now you can enjoy both in the same place thanks to a new pop-up at Fenwick department store in Northumberland Street, Newcastle.

An area near the entrance of the Fenwick Food Hall has been transformed into a dazzling, luxury bar where you can enjoy top-quality fizz from Perrier-Jouët to Bollinger or Cristal and get Greggs pastries served on a plate with a twist.

The bar, which is said to be the first of its kind in the , opened last week and will be available to enjoy until New Year's Eve. A spokesperson for Greggs said: "Inspired by 1920s Paris wine bars and paired with champagne from and Italy – now's your chance to sip and snack your way through a boujee twist on our iconic menu."

The fancy bar, which has a chic blue backdrop, is said to be "an experience of a lifetime, complete with bubbles, bakes and bliss," Greggs added. Guests can ring vintage, crystal bells for a top-up of their tipple.
