New Greggs store opens in Handsworth, Birmingham

The shop will stock freshly prepared Greggs favourites, such as the on-the-go-retailer’s popular Sausage Roll, Steak Bake and delicious vegan alternatives, and more.

The store will also stock a range of over ice drinks including Cloudy Lemonade and Iced Mocha, which are only available in limited shops across the UK.

With the festive season upon us, Greggs has launched its new Christmas menu including the popular Festive Bake, Vegan Festive Bake with a new and improved recipe, Christmas Lunch Baguette and Festive Flatbread.

To give customers a seasonal pickup throughout the colder months, Greggs has also announced a host of new hot drinks including Gingerbread Latte (also available over ice) and Gingerbread Flat White, alongside a Mint Mocha and Mint Hot Chocolate.

Customers can also take advantage of Greggs’ deals throughout the day, including its famed breakfast combinations, offering a breakfast roll or baguette alongside a Fairtrade orange juice or hot drink - served until 11am every day.

Those looking for a bite to eat in the evening can enjoy hot food such as Southern Fried Chicken Goujons, Potato Wedges and a variety of pizza slices including Margherita, Pepperoni, Spicy Mexican Chicken, Spicy Veg and Pepperoni Hot Shot. After 4pm, customers can pick up any pizza slice with any drink from just £2.85 instead of the usual £3.50 – now that’s more tasty for your money!
