Greggs
The North Road branch of the Newcastle-founded bakery chain, a North East institution for sandwiches, savouries and coffee on the go.
About Greggs
Greggs on North Road is one of the Durham branches of the bakery chain that started in Newcastle upon Tyne, and it remains a genuine North East institution as much as a national name. The counter turns out the familiar range of sausage rolls, bakes, sandwiches, sweet treats and coffee, all geared towards food to go, with the quick service and long opening hours that make it a dependable stop in the middle of the city.
Durham's independent cafes and bakeries are the real strength of the city's food scene, but Greggs carries genuine local affection across the region and is a reliable, familiar option for a quick bite while shopping or passing through the centre.
