🥪🍩😊 THERE’S A GREGGS DRIVE THRU IN SOUTHAMPTON 🥪🍩😊

Wow, couldn’t believe it when I saw it, so we had to try it!

It’s on Brownhill Way, just across from the Lidl depot.

It’s a bigger menu as far as I can see with a larger range of hot food, now including things like chicken strips and fish finger sandwiches!

Have you tried it, what did you think?

🎄For our 5th year running our annual and very popular charity Christmas tree collection with Piper Tree Services is back!

💪 Last year we collected over 500 trees across Southampton and Portsmouth and the surrounding areas and this year we want to smash that to help even more children in our local hospitals through the magic of music therapy. With help from MJC Tree Surgeons Ltd and Valley Tree Care , we know we can smash the £3400 raised last year which funded 136 music therapy sessions for children in hospitals across Hampshire!

💌 Book early to avoid disappointment! Please fill in the form below to book your slot. https://georgesrockstars.beaconforms.com/form/ab073b91

🔴 Southampton postcodes will be collected on 3rd AND 4th Jan (SO1-19, SO30-32, SO50-53)
🔵 Portsmouth postcodes will be collected on 4th AND 5th Jan (PO1-PO17)

Please note, to collect as many trees as possible we cannot give time slots or specify which of the two days the tree will be collected. Please leave your tree out visible to the roadside for one of our teams to collect for your postcode collection dates and it will be collected when our teams are passing the area. We collect until late so please be patient.

Huge thanks to Southampton City Council for promoting our collection and charity!
