Take a look at Greggs' first ever Newcastle drive-thru as it opens to great excitement

We're already massive fans of Geordie bakers Greggs but now the Newcastle company has gone and upped the ante with the first drive-thru in its birthplace.

We know there are loads of you out there you have been counting down the days to the opening of the Greggs drive-thru ever since we broke the news that it was happening.

Earlier this week we revealed its official opening date - Thursday, July 11 - and we got in a day early to give you the FIRST look at the new restaurant.

The Drive-Thru is located off the A1056 Sandy Lane, North Gosforth – just down the road from where Greggs opened its first shop - and is the bakers' fourth in the UK.

You'll be able to enjoy a range of hot and cold sandwiches, freshly prepared throughout the day, as well as soups and freshly baked savouries including normal and vegan sausage rolls!

Breakfast will be served until 11am, featuring traditional classics such as bacon rolls, fresh fruit and a full range of freshly ground, Fairtrade coffee.

The Balanced Choice range includes a selection of sandwiches, pasta salads, soups, drinks, porridge and fruit - all for fewer than 400 calories.

A few items, such as Fresh Cream Cakes, will be available in the shop only.

Customers will be able to order both cold and hot drinks both in shop and going through the Drive Thru, which will be open 6am – 9pm Monday – Saturday and 7am – 7pm on Sundays.
