#flashbackfriday: Gregory & Gregory

This week we were tickled by the re-brand of Greggs as hipster-foodie outlet “Gregory & Gregory.”

But pastry fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Greggs were just pranking foodies at gourmet festival, Syon’s Park Foodie Festival. Promoting their new summer menu, the chain recorded customers reactions to being told their posh snack was in fact, Greggs.

Foodies Festival is a three-day event attended amongst some of the biggest names in the business including Michelin-starred chefs from the UK’s top gourmet restaurants and TV chefs. Gregory and Gregory were bebuting new menu items such as a feta and beetroot dip salad with a roast vegetable grain, an oriental chicken sticky rice salad and their first ever vegan addition – a Mexican bean wrap.

When told he was in fact eating Greggs, one surprised festivalgoer said: “You wouldn’t normally find me in a Greggs but I think what they’ve done with these new salads is brilliant. I’ll certainly be popping in there for lunch in future.”
