Love the channel for both of you! A late comment but just incase you were unaware I thought I would advise on the following: In case you wondered the reason why food isn't always hot at Greggs is the fact that they don't call themselves a hot bakery because with hot food they would have to charge tax on it. Therefore if you want your items to be hot such as the sausage rolls / bakes the best time is probably lunchtime or a busy time when demand is there so they'll be heating a fresh batch of bakes etc regularly.

I recommend the "Apple Danish" from Greggs. Greggs is where everybody from office workers and building workers, to school children and shoppers go for a good value midday meal. I also avoid their corned beef bakes, as they give me heartburn. There is massive competition on the High Street for the midday meal trade. Since their are hardly and works canteens left now, and few people make packed lunches any more. My grandparents generation, seem to have been the last ones to think that eating in the street was a terrible thing to do. So just about every supermarket and gas station are doing sandwich based "Meal Deals" now. So Greggs have mainly switched from sandwiches to baguettes and wraps instead.

You should try a coffee at Caffe Nero coffee chain next. I think it's the best. McDonalds coffee is supposedly pretty good also for the price which is only £1 I believe.

In the early days of Greggs opening up the first store in Newcastle Upon Tyne, the food was ok, the sausage rolls, pies and pasties were full and crammed to the crust. Now, things are very different even down to the pastry, which seems to be very rich and buttery. The only thing I buy from there now, is ‘grab food’ in the way of a tuna crunch baguette and a toffee custard donut or a peach melba. And even the peach melba is a little short on peaches compared to years ago.

Choice from Greggs would be a Stottie cake. You can tell you're in the North of England when you see Greggs selling Stotties :-) somewhere around an east west line running through Doncaster. A stottie is a flat bread and if you are a tourist looking to make a sandwich to carry with you you so can't go wrong. Bacon/sausage or ham/pease pudding is well worth a go. Also bear in mind if you can't find something someone suggests, it might be because it's a regional item only sold in certain areas. Like the Stotties. They went from a bike delivery to one shop, Greggs of Gosforth to a national chain. Side fact, The Greggs on Northumberland street in Newcastle is the only shop that I know of that reverses the letters in it's name at Christmas :-) SGGERG. They do it because over the road is a dept store called Fenwicks which has a Christmas window display and when people take pictures, the name Greggs name appears the right way round in the window reflection:-)

as a greggs worker, yes, they are a regional item, mostly wales and the southwest stores sell them, there are many regional items, the north and scotland have quite a lot of different menu items compared to wales and the south
@babyballerina20002 жыл бұрын
Yeah, lots of regional items. In the north east Greggs sell stotties and stottie sandwiches. Very disappointed when I moved down south and found they're not sold here.

I'm from Texas but was born & raised in England. Back then, Gregs used to be called Thurstons. I remember it well. Their cornish pasties and sausage rolls were my favorite.

Greggs - tried once and not been in there again, except once for an emergency sandwich. Maybe it’s the afternoon version of a doner kebab: only eat when plastered. I can see why it may have been recommended - hot, cheap comfort food. Pizza chains - Pizza Hut cheap and cheerful and so has lots of kids running about, except in the Oxford Street branch. There’s a technique to filling the salad bowl- build a medieval wall of cucumber standing up around on its edge to make a bigger bowl! Pizza Express - better chain. Local pizza shops are not always better. The fancier they are, the more plants they have outside.

When you visit York you should visit Cooplands or Thomas the Baker, they are kind of like Gregg's but they are more local chains and the quality is MUCH Better!

I think you worked Greggs out. It's not the best food, in fact far from it- but it's cheap and they are ubiquitous- you can find a Greggs anywhere and for grabbing a quick breakfast or lunch for very little expenditure they are extremely handy.

To be honest as you say Greggs is a typical high street bakery chain so anything you get will be just ok, they’re nothing outstanding about any of their items when compared to specialist or fancy boutique bakeries or eateries. You could try the other filled pastries like the sausage, bean and cheese melt, beef melt or chicken melt. Glad you guys are enjoying your holiday.

best things from greggs are steak bakes, sausage and bean melt, chicken bakes are alright, sausage rolls, and the sandwiches/baguettes, occasionally they do limited edition pasties which are usually good as well, everything else is hit and miss really, at least for me anyway When you travel up north (not sure if they are in the south to be honest), the pound bakery I would say is better than greggs, we have a few in liverpool and would definitely go there for sausage rolls and pasties over greggs In terms of coffee, costa and cafe Nero are far better than starbucks

I'm totally baffled at what people see in Greggs? Virtually every high street baker has better warm savouries and a good local bakery will always trump Gregg's ' mass produced rubbish.

Agreed. We had a wonderful family-run bakery which made a wider range of vastly superior products, but it went to the wall after a branch of Greggs opened in our town.

@TheKruxed2 жыл бұрын
I'm not a fan of Greggs but I'm glad you mention/consider price, its something most channels that react to foods forget about, if somethings cheap yet acceptable then it increases its worth, not least of all that this is UK fast food which is warm/hot, we are used to things being cold and miserable like us lol which is probably why a cheap chain like Greggs is so popular

Recently visited the UK and family from there told us about Gregg's. We loved it. My son could live on the bacon buddy. The thing I liked about the donuts were they weren't crazy cloyingly sweet. Everything I got from Greggs was great so my video would have been a gushing, glowing review. LOL.

UK corned beef is finely ground mush packed into tin. It was a war time staple as it lasts for ages. I used to like it in stuffed jacket potatoes. US corned beef is a brined and slow cooked cut of meat i believe. Both are very different.

Steak Bake every time. Where I live, we call the Sausage Rolls ‘kiddies dummies’ - you would say ‘kiddies soothers’ because you see a lot of toddlers in buggies (strollers) with a Gregg’s Sausage Roll in their hands. They are given to the child to shut them up from mithering their mother and keep them happy. They probably also have a cookie, gingerbread man or cupcake for after, to keep them content for a lot longer.

Sausage and bean melt, chicken bake and sausage rolls can’t go wrong. Yum yums are fantastic from Greggs! The perfect not too sweet treat. Pizza yes they do look like from school! That crispy French bread crunch can’t beat it. Their breakfast sausage or bacon , even both on a bread roll or baguette with ketchup/ brown sauce yum they are to die for!

I rarely buy Greggs baked goods because they are so fattening! But their bacon rolls and lunch baguettes are amazing, especially the chilli chicken with Jalapeno baguettes. The coffee is good too, it scratches your Costa itch without making you need to wee all the time. They are perfect for when you're on the road and slip in to the services.
