UK bakery chain rivalling Greggs launches nostalgic new menu with old-school treats
Bakery79’s limited-time range includes retro baguettes, sweet doughnuts and summer drinks designed to evoke late-1970s food trends.
Bakery79 launched its new "Summer of 79" range, a limited-time menu designed to deliver a "serious dose of nostalgia" through retro sweets, classic sandwich fillings, and old-school drinks.
Founded in 2025, Bakery79 has rapidly expanded across England and Scotland by taking over former Greggs sites at Park Garage Group forecourts, now operating 15 stores nationwide.
Fans can order retro lunch staples including Cheese and Pineapple, Coronation Chicken, and Ham and Heinz Sandwich Filling, plus a Chicken Kiev Baguette inspired by 1970s dinner parties.
Customers can purchase doughnuts inspired by iconic confectionery favourites such as Parma Violets, Jelly Beans, and Drumsticks on the limited-edition menu.
The bakery chain has also introduced new summer drinks including a Colada-inspired cooler, Watermelon Lemonade, and Pineapple Lemonade to complement the nostalgic food range.
