| PAFood lovers can order from 15 Greggs-inspired twists on pub classics, including chicken bake Parmo, steak bake mixed grill, sausage roll and mash and a Greggs ploughman’s platter.
For dessert, options include a yum yum bread and butter pudding and a pink jammie trifle made from doughnut pieces in jelly, topped with jam, custard and cream.
The pub’s Sunday carvery will put Greggs bakes at the centre of the roast. Diners can choose between a steak bake, chicken bake or cheese and onion bake, with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese on the side.
A weekly quiz night will run every Tuesday from October 7, with tickets priced at £5 for teams of up to six people.
It is the latest collaboration between Greggs and Fenwick after Bistro Greggs in 2023 and the Greggs Champagne Bar in 2024, which drew 8,000 visitors.
Hannah Squirrell, customer director at Greggs, said: "Following the reaction and success of our previous collaborations with Fenwick, Bistro by Greggs in 2023 and the Greggs Champagne Bar last year, we’re thrilled to be launching our third landmark venture together.
"The Golden Flake Tavern brings a fresh twist to the traditional British pub experience and we hope everyone who joined us before, along with many new faces, will come along to enjoy this unique Greggs experience.

| PAGreggs’ share price has slumped to levels last seen during the pandemic in 2020.
With a price-to-earnings ratio of around 11, the stock looks cheap by market standards, and some investors say they have been buying in steadily this year.
The recent drop has not come out of nowhere. A shock profits warning in the summer shook confidence and raised doubts about the company’s management.
Greggs blamed the hot weather for weaker sales, but critics argue the business should have been better prepared.
Analysts say the new pub venture could provide a short-term boost to sales and help restore confidence in Greggs’ growth story after a difficult summer.
