Greggs

At Greggs, they care passionately about making great quality, delicious tasting food that their customers can enjoy as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Check out their menu here. Seventy five years ago, John Gregg started out with one goal, to deliver (by pushbike) fresh eggs and yeast to the families of Newcastle. Ten years later he chained up his bike and opened Greggs of Gosforth. Making, baking and selling fresh bread and tasty treats from his very own shop on Gosforth High Street…there’s still a Greggs there today. Over the years they opened more shops across the country and looked for ways they could make Greggs even better. The menu changed with the nation’s taste - who’d have thought of freshly ground Fairtrade Espresso from Greggs, they added calories to their menu and they provide free wifi – that’s been voted the best on the high-street. Behind the freshly made sandwiches and golden puff pastry sausage rolls they've always been committed to doing the right thing. Way back in the sixties they started with their free ‘pie n peas supper’ for older residents in Gateshead. And today they still have that same commitment, their annual Children’s Cancer Run has raised over £5m for Cancer Research. Every day they provide a healthy breakfast for over 6,000 primary school children with our Breakfast Club programme. All this and so much more from the Greggs Foundation.
