Greggs set to replace former Peterborough pub The Ploughman
A new Greggs shop is set to open in place of a former pub in Peterborough.
Plans have been submitted to convert the former Ploughman pub in Werrington into the city’s latest Greggs.
The building at the Werrington centre has sat vacant and run down since it was closed in 2024.
The Ploughman pub served the Werrington community from 1982 until early 2024, when it closed following a legal battle between former landlord Andy Simmonds and previous owners of the building Melbourne Leisure Holdings.
In November, plans to convert the building into a smaller sports bar and three retail units. were approved by the city council.
Plans have now come forward for one of these smaller units to become a Greggs.
Greggs already has main locations in the city in Bridge Street, Long Causeway, Queensgate, Padholme Road East, Serpentine Green, Bretton Centre, Ortongate Shopping Centre as well a number of location inside petrol stations.
Peterborough City Council will now consider the application.
