The North East bakery chain has teamed up with OpenTable to open its doors for couples to enjoy a unique dining experience in its shops for the very first time.

Under the plans, selected shops will be transformed into restaurants designed for romance, complete with mood lighting and music, roses, candelabras and white linen tablecloths.

Instead of ordering at the till, diners will be waited on at their own tables in the retailer’s first ‘fine dining’ experience, while classical music plays in the background.

The menu will be made entirely from Greggs’ food given a special Valentine’s twist.

The menu includes:

Starter: A composition of canapés - seasoned pork and puff pastry slider, steak & blue cheese en croute, katsu tortilla wrap, Mexican chicken chipotle spoon, béchamel toasted honey cured ham square and tomato gazpacho
