As an English dude, I'd say Greggs is the perfect place to just pop into if you're walking around town for a quick snack. Not a full meal, just a sausage roll or a pizza slice. Bottle of ribena to wash it down. I usually do this on the way to the cinema to watch a new movie

[@alskjlskaj]

I agree, even for workers too. Greggs fuels the working industry and actually has reasonable prices. Their coffee and bake deal kept me going on so many rough days at work. Pretty much most of the other fast eat places cost so much.

You can have a bad Greggs, you can have a really good Greggs, the funny thing is that it's entirely up to you which one you have. If you're in a massive rush, maybe avoid greggs so that you aren't disappointed, but if you've got time to spare, all you have to do is wait around for them to bring hot ones out. Best tip I can give, ask the server if what you're wanting is hot, they will check for you. Another tip, if you're after a sandwich and its not there, ask them to make you one. Unlike the pasties and such that come frozen, the sandwiches are actually made fresh in the back.

YES! The sausage, bean and cheese melt is one of the best imo

[@vcka]

i like the taste but its just too salty for me @@RealGriff86

[@The_Chew]

A tip: keep the food in the bag while you eat it and hold it by the bag. This keeps it warmer, stops you from getting grease on your hands and keeps the food clean.

[@alexterry9906]

As someone who used to work at Greggs, you HAVE to try a Sausage, Bean and Cheese melt! It’s sounds weird but it is so good!

I love greggs, But for me its least favourite thing in greggs, after hasbrowns 🥶😀

[@solemnmodz]

I used to work at Greggs and I abused the discount so much that I got bored of Greggs 🤣 I’m back on it now though hahah

[@Qwertyuiop-p2s5f]

As an American from CA who eats mexican food on a daily basis this sounds delicious.

[@Keane50]

I genuinely have no idea who you are and just stumbled across this video in my recommended videos. This is so wholesome and it’s great to see someone outside of the UK discovering Greggs for the first time and absolutely loving it. Subscribed!

“Save just a little bit of everything for your gf to try” then proceeds eating all the pizza leaving the crust 😂

If you're in England and it's cold and/or raining, you're tired and hungry go to Greggs. Nothing better than a steak bake, cheese and onion bake and a tea or coffee. Pure fire bro 🔥 👌🏻 🙌 👏 . Crazy thing is It's not expensive either. For me it's pure comfort food too man, hits the spot every time.

[@captaincluster316]

Probably worth another visit if you have time. Get a chicken bake, yum yum, cheese and bacon wrap, vegan sausage roll and sausage bean and cheese melt.

[@DonHbankz]

You know food

[@bigt9374]

Vegan sausage roll ?

Stake bake is classic.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@Inquisitor_Vexyeah but chicken is better than the cheese and onion surely

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek fair shout. Maybe he was worried about becoming too full? I’m still quite partial to a cheese and onion though.

[@RealtalkManc]

You need to travel to the north of England and eat in a traditional bakery with real meat pies and real sausage rolls - the family run local bakers blow greggs out of the water !!

That's funny what you say. As a kid growing up when we used to go to Sheffield city centre to see the Christmas Lights switched on, the thing that excited me the most every year was getting a sausage roll from Greggs.

Aww Ben I’m so happy you thoroughly enjoyed greggs, it actually started here in Tyneside up north in 1951 where I’m from, it is so delicious and convenient, and yes I agree, perfect for cold strolls with a nice coffee👌🏼🍂 Thankyou for such a lovely review, especially saying it’s worth a plane ride over just for greggs🤣🤣🤣❤️

the thing i love about greggs pizza is its not trying to hard to be a pizza its just trying to be good its more of a soft pillowy bread than a normal pizza base its so good it absorbs all of that sauce and cheese

[@IamBATMAN2024]

It’s terrible pizza tbh. It’s not worth the price either! I can get a full frozen pizza for less

The reason bakeries are so popular here is because they open at like 6am. Its really quick and easy to eat a hot meal for cheap before work or school. Same for lunch break lol.

[@ZER0value]

Also, on the subject of cheese in the steak bake, they used to do a steak and cheese roll (similar to the sausage roll size/form/price wise but it had steak and i believe stilton cheese inside) and it was probably the best thing greggs made for a while. If you're about in the UK for Christmas, make sure to check out the Festive bake, it's like a chicken bake on crack

[@MrKazukstan]

Thanks for the reminder that festive bakes will be back soon 🎉

I've been enjoying eating the festive bakes over the last couple of weeks. EARLY ACCESS BITCHES haha. But to be honest i can't stand stilton but the stake and stilton roll was on point

[@Helmaron1538]

With regards to Greggs opening abroad, they apparently opened in Belgium 15 years ago but decided to close them down to concentrate on building the UK sales. However, they are now considering doing a trial opening abroad. I think it's just in the planning stages at the moment and die for the popularity of Spain with young British tourists and older expat Brits living there that, in my opinion may be the first place for a trial. If you think Koreans would love it perhaps you could write to their head office and suggest it.

[@Lulabellexd]

I'm not usually into mukbang videos but I love yours. I'm English so it's fun watching an American/Korean? person trying our food out. I love the Greggs sausage rolls - they are the best! Lemme explain what Greggs is - it's basically a commercialized bakery

[@RhamanaChan]

The funniest thing is I spotted this video while I was eating a ham and egg sandwich from Greggs haha. Their cold sandwiches are fantastic as well, I'm so glad you enjoyed what you had! Totally need to get a Festive Bake closer to Christmas, they sell out so fast at my local lol.

Aw maaaan, this is the first video ive watched of yours. So rad you like Gregg's! It's definitely a gem here in the UK. Live in Scotland myself and the amount of money I've spent on Gregg's the past few months is diabolical 😅😂 you should definitely try out the southern fried bbq chicken wrap they do (heated) and the tandoori wrap (cold). Also the sausage, cheese and bean melt from the hot pastry counter! Most of their stuff is fucking insane 🫠😍

They did do a steak and cheese one! It was in a sausage roll shape though and was a melty blue cheese, so good.

During winter, last year at least, they had Yum Yums in chunks heated up with a hot caramel sauce. Honestly so good even if was very messy. They did the same with cookies, but because it was new, the guy making it wasn’t too sure, messed it up and then just gave it us for free which was very kind of them.

I actually don't understand the stereotype of British food being bad. Of course our food is not in the same league as Indian, Italian or Chinese cuisine but for the climate that we have and the fact that we use few spices I think our cuisine punches well above its weight.

ExPat now living in Miami. My wife is a total convert to Greggs. I think she looks forward to visiting Greggs more than anything else when we go back to the UK. I don't get why sausage rolls and steak bakes are not a thing in the states. They are totally missing out.
