I really want to like Greggs. Everyone else I know thinks its the best thing since sliced bread, but I always find myself really let down when I finish my pasty.
Price wise, you can't really beat them, with a pasty not costing more than a squid and the same for the bakery. I just personally find the pasties too greasy and weirdly sickly and yet again, the same can be said for the bakery products.
This particular one on Gloucester Road is handy if you are on a long walk but otherwise I think the bakery in Somerfields would be a better bet. I would however recommend the 'Jammy Stars/Hearts' they are really amazing, especially dipped into hot coffee. Mmmmmmmm (and a darn sight cheaper than the ones in Costas...they never notice if you sneek a couple in and pretend you bought it at the counter!).
Be warned that this Greggs gets really busy at lunchtime and by the time the rush is over there is only the rubbish Corned beef (what is that by the way?!) pasties left and a couple of soggy sausage rolls. read more
