we're American and only ate Greggs for 24 hours

- Wherever we travel, we tend to find places we like to eat… and eat them A LOT. Usually it’s a little local place where they sell amazing food, and other times it’s Greggs in the middle of the UK 😅
Our day started in Tynemouth where we had our spankin breakfast of some lattes, brekkie sandwiches, and a bangin raspberry muffin. We then got to walk along the beach and soak in a little Vitamin D while the sun was out 🌞😎
We then headed over to Downtown NewCastle where we were able to visit the beautiful Quay market which had ANY food you could possibly want. Of course, we had to pass and head up to Greggs from lunch where we got our beautiful Steak Bakes, a sausage roll, and a cup of fruit 🍇
We ended the day about 3 hours South of Newcastle where we stopped at a Greggs that was… not rated the highest among the other Greggs and ended up having to warm our meals up on our own. 🏕

ABOUT US:
Hey! We are Kyle and Madie, two 20-something year old kids who live to travel. We have been together since 2016 and graduated college in December of 2021. We left August 27, 2022 to travel the world and travel on a budget of $60 a day as a couple. Follow along with us to see some epic places and see if we are able to stay on budget. Cheers! :)
This guys got 10k views for doing something I’ve done everyday for the last 7 years 😂
Dude and dudette 😘
@@kyleandmadie❤
😂😂
That’s how life works unfortunately
Life is a cruel mistress beanbag 😂 @@beanbag9696
You pronounce quay as if you say key, so it’s technically say keyside. The custard slices are amazing
I almost lost my shit when he said Qway not Key, love it 😍❤
Kwayside, Tynesmooth and Noocastle
As someone from the UK. This had me laughing my head off.
Why..?
You're in the "TOON" the land of the "GEORDIES"!!! Home of Newcastle United--- St.James Park. The greats Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan and Peter Beardsley played for "The Magpies"!!!
I think you need your own show on the history channel with the amount of knowledge you have on the UK 😂 we love it!!!
The best football team in the world
@@Tom_murray89 a lot of great players.... Andy Cole, Chris Waddle, Ginola, Craig Bellamy,Imre Varadi, Ferdinand, Ben Arfa and many others. Great memories!!!
There actually was the first game of the season happening while we were there!
@@kyleandmadie They beat Villa 5-1 at home. Got robbed against Pool last game. Nunez poked a goal three minutes into stoppage time. Need to get three points at the beach this week against the Seagulls!!!
Steak bakes are a national treasure
Haha I love it!
Omg I get 2 steak baked every time I’ve gone for the last 20 years
Steak bakes are S tier - Sausage, bean and cheese with a sausage roll on the side is the only way to go.
TIP FOR VISITING THE U.K.:
NEVER forget to say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’, people will think you’re rude if you don’t say these especially when ordering food.
I think this goes for everywhere in the world, not just the UK haha
@@kyleandmadieyou haven’t traveled that much then.
@@PaulHipToBeSquareAllen I mean I guess 30 countries isn’t that much 🤷🏽♀️
Also saying "can I get" is seen as rude and bad grammar, even in a low class establishment like Gregg's.
@@sandersson2813is it bollocks
Who would have thought visiting newcastle to eat Greggs could be turned into a travel vlog.
haha right?
Greggs is a national treasure and I love seeing people from other countries trying it and just being amazed
When you’re buying food from the Greggs in the petrol stations.
You’ll usually have to pay services prices, so it’ll usually cost 10-20% more than a regular Greggs.
Discovering the Greggs cheese and onion pasty was one of the greatest things to have ever happened to me in life. 😊
Potato pasty with a bit of onion and cheese you mean?
this is a big statement!
I love it too!
Great video on Newcastle Upon Tyne. There is a television program I watch on PBS in the states called Vera. It's a British crime drama and is shot all over the northeast of England. The area is also known as Northumbria. The pies you got at Greggs are traditional in mining areas of the British Isles. That's where Cornish Pasties come from. Tin miners in Cornwall would have them for their meal while at work. The scenery and history of the U.K. is splendid.
Well thank you British isles for some really yummy food!!! And thank you to our friend Dan for showing us Gregg’s in the first place 😁😁
Greggs sausage rolls are the UK's most popular sausage roll.........you gotta have either brown sauce or tomato ketchup on a breakfast roll....... by the way, it's pronounced as if it were spelt keyside. You'll find this everywhere you go in the UK, with place names sounding nothing like the way they are spelt.... The cake you described as a Bavarian Cream is known as a vanilla slice here.
I'm pretty sure Greggs do sell a Bavarian Slice as well as a Vanilla Slice. Everyone - in Britain anyway - knows what a Vanilla Slice is: the stiff custard between puff pastry. But in the dim and distant past I've had a Bavarian Slice from Greggs - which is two puff pastry pieces with stiffly whipped cream between them and a spread of jam on the bottom slice and fondant icing.
They're just second rate custard slices, which should really be much larger and have multiple layers of pastry. I don't know when the 'vanilla slice' thing happened but it's much like calling perry 'pear cider'. Either way, while their audience was annoyed they shrank and renamed their custard slices but kept the same price, it's a bit easier to eat more smaller ones without ending up with custard all over the place :D
Obviously not where you go for good... *checks notes* baking of any kind, but it's reliably base level that shouldn't give you too many problems and it's fairly cheap.
When I worked for the Council in Bradford, Yorkshire, we used to have Bavarian slices for lunch. They are more elaborate than vanilla slices. Beautiful!
I’ve been watching your UK travel vids, and just wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed seeing your perspectives on things that I take for granted here, and I always look forward to your new vids :)
Also you guys are an adorable couple!
Awe thank you so much!!! We know exactly how you feel with hearing new perspectives on things. When someone comes to where we live for the first time and go “this is so cool!” Or “you’re so lucky you live here” we’re like what???? But it’s new and exciting to them, just like Gregg’s is new and exciting to us 😂 thanks for coming along on our journey with us ❤️
@@kyleandmadie Haha for sure! In fact, I haven't had Gregg's for a few months... gonna pay it a visit tomorrow now 😄
Happy travelling, and I look forward to the next video!
Cheers! Enjoy your Gregg’s 😂😁
@@kyleandmadie NEW Vids NOW !!!
We’re trying 🥲
Custard Slices! Top choice! Defo 11/10😊
I miss Greggs corned beef pasties. Got one every day when I still lived in the UK . Now I make them myself. If you want to surf then go to Cornwall
Tynemooth hahaha, its mouth, Tynes-Mouth. Newcastle born and bred, glad you enjoyed it here. weathers abit shit but the place is nice :)
Britain’s petrol might be twice the cost of US, but Americans drive on twice the distance as Brits per year on average (14,263 miles compared to 7,400 miles). This is due to the differing size between the two countries. Americans often have to travel huge distances between towns or on their work commute, whereas Britain is closer connected. So because of that I’d estimate that both Americans and Brits spend a similar amount on petrol.
I pull my custards apart to eat....the jam half first....then the best bit with the icing!👌🏻😋
Sounds great!
Really enjoyed this video! It was lovely to see my birthplace Tynemouth and our beautiful beaches... ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also it's pronounced mouth not mooth
It's pronounced "Key" side not Kway side
Haha thank you! We found that out AFTER filming unfortunately 🥲
Geordie is another language hehe
@@ploppyploppy6554 that’s just how it’s pronounced. Nothing to do with the area.
@@ploppyploppy6554Haddawayandshite, man! It's geet easy for any gadge to reckon!
@@ploppyploppy6554it’s pronounced key in Australia too
New channel binge when i need to sleep. Hope youre proud of yourselves
thank you!
We liked your foodie review guys...l wish l could travel, your so lucky exploring the world. Cheers
Thanks so much!!! We hope that you can travel through our videos and we are able to show you a little bit of the world ❤️ thanks for hangin around!!
In reference to surfing, if you're ever in Gloucester, every high tide there's a tidal wave on the river Severn. It's (I think) the 3rd biggest river bore (tidal wave) in the world. Due to the natural geography and the way the water moves around the country, the tide builds up and then surges back up the river. The wave can travel around 30 miles up the river (10 meter elevation), it's one of the places where people have set the record for longest distance surfed on a single wave.
It's not exactly a surfers paradise like Maui or Bondi or The Cape, but it's one of only a few places in the world where you can surf a single wave for that long. On peak days it attracts quite a crowd, lots of surfers, canoeists, spectators, and it's part of the local culture. Pubs are open early in the morning serving breakfast, police direct traffic and ignore minor infractions like double parking. It's something surfers can add to their list of experiences.
And it's great to see you enjoy Blighty. BTW Quayside is pronounced 'Key' side,lol
Was looking for this 😂
I don’t think it’s too hard to find in this comment section lol
9:24 THE crystal bar stickers are nuts
Haha - have mercy on this food, I want to try it too. After your movies, I run to the kitchen and wonder what to eat, you make such a taste.
I'm glad we can help your hunger 😂 don't ever watch our videos hungry!!!! always have a snack on hand
@@kyleandmadie
Great vlog! Love you guys!
I was once in Newcastle with my colleagues, though totally unplanned. ( the plane we were on had to do an emergency landing in Newcastle ) . no passengers, only flight crew and us, airline staff.
I recognized the city center and the area under the high bridge in your video 😊.
Oh wow what a way to end up in a city 🫠 hopefully you were able to enjoy your time there 😁
@@kyleandmadie Yes, we did. We spent a whole afternoon, working and talking in a big cafe next to this bridge which moves up ( I saw the bridge in your video as well ).
BTW, currently Diesel is in Germany +/- 1.75€ per liter!
Have fun with that 🤞
🥲 we had no idea gas was this expensive until we got here!!! I believe we got it for €1.83 the other day in Belgium maybe 😂
We live in Newcastle , Quayside market is great , love that you pronounced it kwayside and not keyside :) And we all love Greggs round here , Iceland even have frozen Greggs like Steak bakes etc , my favourie .
You mean kway side….😂
Personal favourite Greggs at the moment is the Vegan Mexican Bake
The quayside is only half the size it used to be, I used to work there on a Sunday on the fruit n veg stall at the entrance and it used to go right up to the law courts.
To Kyle and Madie
I hope you're enjoying the British and English culture.
thank you so much!!!
Had no idea that there was surfing on the east coast, get down the Gower, or if you have time down to Cornwall.
Ah, my neck of the woods. Hope you enjoyed it.
The best!
Quay so sweet pronounced Key in UK! oh and Jelly is Jam here! Great Video Nice Couple!
Thanks! 😃
Greggs is more of a morning thing as far as I'm aware.
Food at petrol/gas stations is always more expensive.
It's not great food but it's decent if you just need a quick bite while you're busy.
LOL! You actually went all the way to Newcastle for Gregg's and didn't have a ham and peas pudding stottie, when they don't sell them anywhere else coz it's the local delicacy.
Oh dang!
Kway side!! I nearly fell off my chair.
Be careful
When you're on the kwayside don't forget you must never jump a kwayway - you always have to join a kwayway at the back. The British love to kwayway.
Tynesmooth ! Classic US pronunciations throughout the video too.
I didn't know Newcastle had so much to offer! the food market looked amazing! (I shouldn't watch these videos when feeling hungry!)
It's so good!
We have so many nice places in the NE
@@heatherboardman7004 agree and so many morre nice places out side of London which many people dont get to see.
Greggs was actually founded in Newcastle and is a local company. They have one of their main factories and distribution points in Gosforth (just outside Newcastle).
Their national Headquarters is also based in the region.
They said that at some point.
Greggs is basically lips and arsehole in pastry
I thought it was the Toon (Newcastle) from the screen shot alone! Bingo Bongo!
Woohoo!
Service stations/lay bys across the country always charge more no matter the store - so your expensive meal from Greggs is only because of where you purchased it
This was randomly recommended to me and I clicked on it because I recognized the location in the thumbnail and then I definitely recognized the first image in the intro since I grew up in Tynemouth.
awesome!
In England it is in the rules that for any breakfast sandwich you have that contains bacon, you must have 'HP Sauce' on it. 🙂 or as a compromise, ketchup.
Good to know!
Haha good effort! Glad you enjoyed your time in the North East 😁
thank you :)
Hey thanks for visiting my city. If you'd drove a few miles north you'd have great surfing at Druridge Bay. Shame I didn't see this video earlier. I would have recommended Milligans rather than Greggs. But Greggs has the fame, Milligans has the flavour.
Greggs pizza is the greatest!! 🍕
oh no!!!! We should have tried it 😭
Love a Greggs but the heartburn is phenomenal after it
Quay is pronounced key, so you were walking by the keyside :)
Thanks!
You guys are the cutest! I'm glad you enjoyed Greggs as much as we do 😆
Newcastle nightlife is prob the best in the UK imo. Great people too, even if you do have trouble understand what half of them say
Do they not have those custard slices things (that you had at the end) in the USA? And as you found out, theyre a pain to eat but worth it when you figure out a way 🤣
No we don’t! And yes, a pain for sure 😂
Quay side 😂 it’s pronounced like you’d say Key … great vlog though… check out Whitby and York, they’re great places to visit
Thanks for the tips!
Its a fitting place to visit the birth place of Greggs in Gosforth in Newcastle . Fun fact .
Thought that was Sophie Skelton from Outlander for a second!
I can kind of see it!
It's probably been mentioned in the comments, but quay in England is pronounced 'key' so it's key-side, not kway-side. :)
I was just thinking, I bet you regret doing Greggs all day with all those food stalls when Kyle said that. Oh well, you will just need to go back to Newcastle - for the other foods AND the waves!
yes!!
kway side lol so close.... think its key side ( quayside )
but ya never know i might of always said it wrong
Top tip: Quayside is basically pronounced "keyside"
Greggs is just sustenance really, grab something on the road for a few quid to make sure you don't die. It's not good food.
a US gallon is much smaller than a UK gallon. US gallon 3.8L UK gallon 4.5L
the UK also taxes fuel, the US has like a $37 Billion fuel subsidy(2020)
the vast majority of Americans don't know that "gas" aka petrol is subsidised.
I love visiting Newcastle...Beautiful part of the country! (I know not everyone agrees) Unspoiled and overlooked in recent times but has everything. It isn't the Costa Del Whatever...and the weather can be a bit shit (UK weather can be a bit shit). Newcastle was a massive city during the Industrial revolution. It has History and a great atmosphere!
Never been there my entire life. Get embarrassed when so many foreigners have tbh I really should go at some point
@DavidL1986 you will love it! I visit with my English friends (I'm american) and the accent can be a bit wild at first. The people are lovely, the city and areas around it are amazing 👍
@@AutoAlligator yeh I really should get up there, northern ppl are generally viewed as being more friendly. It’s just right at the top of the country… but I know saying that to an American, that’s one State for you 😂
@@AutoAlligator also all the students / university go there.. so it’s good for parties too!
@DavidL1986 you can drive for an hour in England and the change in accents can be amazing...I love it!
Student budget ,as a student ,time is valuable,no cooking or dishwashing ,Greggs is best alternative and time saving
Iceland sell a lot of their slices frozen. Only helps if you get deliveries or leave near one of course but handy to know.
should get the bcaon and sausgae roll with coffee, only £3.40
Dont forget the US gallon is smaller, but still cheaper than UK
If you want some good beaches go down south to devon and cornwall or even weymouth beach is nice
That’s what we’ve heard!
Kyle and Maddie eating like Scottish people hahahah all love from the tartan wankers
Kway side 😂😂
that's how we would pronounce it in the states... okay!! We did learn after we filmed it that it was the wrong way to pronounce it and were instantly embarrassed 😅
Kway side massive
Gregg’s are the BEST.
Newcastle is literally the best city in the UK hands down, if youve never been you cant even argue
It's a hole
I ate 4 sausage rolls yesterday, no regrets
Now that’s what we are talking about!!!! No regrets my friend
Loved the video , perhaps the uk isn't so bad after all 😉
Not jelly,jam
Maddie where are you from that you pronounce van like vyan? Not trying to take the piss just curious as I'm new here.
That's a nice looking 'qway side'😅😅
Heck yeah it is!
The U.K. is in Europe. You were getting the ferry to mainland Europe
Jelly is jam in the UK. Jello is jelly in the UK. $75 for a 3 hour drive? Are you sure it's that much?
yeah its very expensive :(
@@kyleandmadie How many miles did you travel?
That can’t be right
Gregs make good sandwichs not just pastries
sausage rolls (in fact everything from greggs) are not fried! they are baked in an oven .. greggs is a bakery 🫶🏽
Thanks love!!
As someone from newvastle im glad u enjoyed newcastle south shields beach which is only 20mins in the car was voted best beach in the country last year
Also i did find funny the way u pronounced Tyne mouth 😂 and quaysjde its pronounced like keyside but anyways good video your one of the fes youtubers who have acrually bothered to come to newcastle most wont leave london
At the end when you're eating the custard slice, i swear this guy looks like Bradley cooper or am i tripping?
He actually gets that a lot from random people 😂
9:08 sorry but it isn't fried food... it's baked. And for someone that has had American and British food the Sausage roll is nothing like a corn dog lol 😂, corn dogs can be hard and not that nice of a flavour, grainy, whereas Sausage rolls are warm and soft on the inside with a nice buttery crunch of pastry on the outside. If you're from the US and come to the UK you will know what I mean. 😀
remember the USA gallon is smaller than the UK gallon
custard squares are the best thing in the world.
Hope you go to Whitby
Uk and Us gallons are different uk is 160 fl Oz and Us is less
Yes home to the charvaa big up
Quay is pronounced KEY!
Urg Greggs for 1 hour makes me feel nauseous lol. Wrights Pies is the one.
Quay side is pronounced Key side in british English
Detoxed from greggs 😂 love it !! ...
Tip:
Some motorway services, have Greggs in them.
their prices in the motorway services are much higher than normal greggs shops
We’ve noticed that!
down town new castle
How could you go to Gregg's in Newcastle and not have an Empire Biscuit or Stottie cake epic fail.
Also quayside is pronounced Key side
Tynemouth Tyne Mouth (mouth of the river Tyne)
Also there is so many good Fish and chip places at the coast feel like you missed out having Greggs
okay
you should try nandos!
new sub :D
greggs is kinda just a mid bakery to us btw, all of the usual greggs items are cheaper and better in a bakery.
Tyne... Mooth?
Are you sure you're not a Geordie? 😆
Not completely sure tbh
@@kyleandmadie gave it away when you said kway-side though 😃
jeez I must stop going to the greggs drive through, need to lose my weight :)
He said the sausage roll was fried hahahaha
You live and you learn I guess
