Greggs bakery

[under the ivy]

Steak bake and a caramel custard doughnut for me, ta!

I like their mexican chicken sandwich if I don’t fancy a pasty. Although if you’re northern, it’s all about Cooplands bakery!

I do like Greggs for a cheap lunch. I like their coffee, it's drinkable unlike a lot of other machine coffee. I like their cheese toasties, baguettes, sausage rolls and yum yums. Oh and chocolate muffins. I don't like their doughnuts, I find them very oily tasting.
My favourite bakery is Simmons, they have the most amazing jam doughnuts, and do a great pastrami in focaccia sandwich. Wenzels is a close second, they have the most incredible cronut type things and giant fondant fancies. My husband loves the vegan patties.

Wenzels iced Donuts are delicious. I also prefer their sausage rolls to Greggs, but you can't beat a Greggs Yum yum

In terms of hot food, I don't eat pork so I'm a huge fan of their vegan sausage rolls.I've tried their wedges and chicken strips too which are actually pretty cheap for a warm lunch. Also chicken bake is up there with one of my favourite things ever

The omlette baguette cheered me up the other morning but I really think they should offer a meat free sausage at breakfast!

Cold stuff: I like their sandwiches, tuna crunch baguette & Mexican oval bite.

Sweet: I love their yum yums and doughnuts.

What do you find good and bad at Greggs?

I used to be a bit snobby about them when I was younger. Thought they were chavvy etc. But they're a massive convenience for work and I tend to use them a fair bit.

I find all the baguette sandwiches decent. Any other sandwich though isn't great, the bread just isn't that nice.

The sausage rolls are pretty nice. Good flavour

Pizzas are diabolical

Didn't think much of the vegan sausage roll after all the hype but apparently they've changed the recepie now

I've not ventured much into their sweet stuff so don't really know if it's any good. Willing to give it a shot though. Think I've had the doughnuts in the past and don't remember them being too bad.

Omg stop I love the cheese and tomato pizza obviously not the finest Italian cuisine but it tastes of childhood

I've never been in a Greggs or tried any of their food as their nearest one to me is miles away and I don't drive. I've always felt so left out over that!

 

[Pumpkin Spice]

Can't eat any of their stuff now due to food intolerance but I miss chicken bakes!

 

[orlyb1310]

I miss the cheese and chutney toastie they used to do

I wish they'd bring back the London cheesecake

I've heard Aldi do them but I don't have an Aldi anywhere near me

 

[moimoi]

Haven’t forgiven them for stop doing ham and pease pudding stotties (if you’re from the North East you know! )

They still have them in the one near me! They are pretty easy to make too, I recommend using this coconut for the topping

 

[Gossngiggles]

If I’m going to Greggs I’ll get a cheese and onion bake and a yum yum. I miss the cheese and ham bake they used to sell.
I prefer Cooplands or Thomas the Baker.

As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, they're often lukewarm and just don't seem to taste right.

I really like the cheese pizza, reminds me of school dinners but in a good way
Cheese and onion, cornish are good
Wedges are nicer than dominos and only a quid!

Tbf you're right they're rarely hot but I don't mind a bit of cold pizza

I prefer Poundbakery & Sayers

 

[orlyb1310]

Pound Bakery vegan sausage rolls and even the cheese and onion pasties are actually nicer imo and better value for money but I'm always closer to a Greggs when I fancy them

 

[Warpaint]

I imagine pound bakery makes a pretty good killing as well. Always seems busy when I walk past it
