  • I'm at Greggs today. To those of you who live in the UK, the chances are you've been to Greggs at least once in your life so today I've decided to head down there to try their full range of what they have to offer at one of their biggest landmark restaurants. Let's give it a go!

    My old mum fractured her spine, came out of hospital on a zimmer. Mum, said I, where do u want to go, I'll take u anywhere u like. Half an hour later we were parked in a nearby town, bypassing several esteemed eateries en route, and she was inching along the pavement towards Greggs for a steak bake with a steely glint in her eye. I had a coffee. It was gopping. But mum was very happy and had an iced bun too.

      That's lovely, your mum has her priorities right, the Steak Bake would have been amazing after the hospital cuisine, the simple pleasures in life are underrated! Steak Bakes are annoyingly delicious though!

      Never liked Greggs as to me it’s just belly busting low quality filler , however many people swear by them 🤔…Definitely cheap and cheerful not for me though ..I was brought up in N Ireland back in the 1950s a home were my mothers cooking and baking were legendary and half the kids in the street would sneak in at tea time , my mother never refused one of them 🙏…

    I really like Greggs. I’m from the North East of England, the home of Greggs, and we had nothing when I was a kid - back in the 1980’s. As a treat, my family would get me and my brother a sausage roll from either Greggs or Carricks (another local bakery) … probably because they were cheap and cheerful.
    I’m 43, married and a consultant psychiatrist, but having something from Greggs still takes me right back. 😊

      Where I grew up in Manchester in the early 1980's we were close to one of the actual bakeries in Clayton, wherever the actual industrial bakeries were you would always find a clearance shop that sold product that had been baked the day before or had slight issues like smudged icing on the vanilla slices. Everything was 1/3rd the price of the normal shops. Every family in the area used that shop, it was the cheapest place to buy bread and family treats that might not have been affordable for many otherwise. As much as I dislike the current Greggs I'll always have a soft spot for them because of what they were.

    I will always have a soft spot for Greggs, as my nanna and grandpa lived in Gosforth and they used to take me to the original Greggs on Gosforth High Street when I visited them during school holidays (50+ years ago!). Fond memories. Good to hear that the staff were attentive later on (after your initial rather cool encounter). Without wanting to stereotype, I have to say that all of the Gregg's staff I have met (across numerous branches) in the north of England have been absolute gems. Great video, much appreciated as always.

    In 2013, the government brought in the hot pasty tax, which meant that previously exempt baked goods were subject to 20% VAT. Greggs circumvents this by selling them straight from the oven and allowing them to cool. Saving VAT.

    Greetings again from America, Mr. Eats! I’ve never been to Greggs, but I’ve heard of it often from many British youtubes. I probably could not eat much there, as I cannot have milk or eggs. And, yes, I know, that disqualifies probably around 80% of all British foods. I sometimes think that if I look at a map of England for long enough, my body might explode.
    The gentleman asking if you were okay is actually fairly common over here in America, just with some tweaks. Upon approaching a fast food establishment such as Taco Hell - Roadkill Edition - a staff member will frequently meet you halfway and begin jogging/walking along with you. They will ask questions such as, “Is there a voice in your head talking to you right now?”, or “Do you often feel the need to eat paint chips?”, essentially this is a low-key psych evaluation. You’re supposed to fail, of course, and then they let you in. If you pass, they call the police immediately, because you’re obviously there to rob the joint.
    Also, I think it would have been hilarious if the donut was piping hot! Like, too hot to even handle.

    Gary, you get around mate! The story of Greggs as a business turnaround from a small regional baker to as you say the largest food chain in Britain is incredible.
    The reason for your pastry delights being lukewarm is to save them having to charge VAT on hot food, thus making their prices 20% cheaper than rival takeaways offering hot food. I agree a lukewarm sausage roll isn’t a patch on a hot one ❤

    Former Greggs worker here 🙋🏼‍♀️. The pasty tax is to blame for the pasties not being kept hot, so that the VAT increase doesn't get passed to the customer. Is a shame as im sure there are plenty out there who wouldn't mind paying the extra for hot pastys, but then it could price some out altogether. When i first started, sausage rolls were 50p, and they were 4 for £1.50. Steak/chicken bakes, etc, were £1, quickly up to £1.10 but you could then buy 2 for £2. Prices have just shot up!

      I only go to Greggs outlet. 2 pasties £1.40 your not missing much not going to them there are far better places to get pies and pasties at that have more filling in. and less fatty
      Morrisons pasties and pies have nicer pastry that's not greasy and have more filling in and are cheaper 2 pasties £2.50
      Greggs is over hyped its not that good.

    Greggs - it’s exactly what you'd expect, straightforward and reliable.
    I must say, I agree with you Gary about the veggie sausage roll. It is surprisingly delightful, but only when it's hot, fresh, and crispy.
    Keep up the excellent work, Gary. Your quality, honest reviews are always appreciated!

      It's mostly that it's the one of the only places serving food that doesn't cost a million pounds. You're not buying gourmet food, but the price is right. Too many places serve crap at high prices, so it's not even about you getting what you pay for. Signed from a Greggs enjoyer.

    A mega Greggs inside a Primark store! Talk about hitting your target audience! It’s a well known fact that Gregg’s produce is either stone cold or thermonuclear hot - never just the right temperature. Greggs sausage rolls and Yum Yums - the stuff of legends! My mark, 8/10 for what it is…

    • @Mugwump42
      @Mugwump42 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thurston's before it was Greggs was a class above Greggs. It is 20 + years since I tasted fast food pasties, sausage rolls etc due to a severe allergy to onions and mushrooms. When I asked Greggs if their products contained these two ingredients and informed them of my severe allergy, they refused to serve me, as they hadn't a clue to whether they contained them.
