People going here need to understand that it's not a regular Greggs shop - it's an Outlet, where they sell off multipacks of seconds and surplus stock that is past its Best Before at bargain basement prices, and it's brilliant at that. Complaining that they don't do hot food or sell individual pastries is like complaining that the fishmonger doesn't sell toiletries- that's not what it's for.
There's some amazing bargains to be had (2 Belgian buns for 60p! 2 vegetable bakes for 75p! 4 vegan sausage rolls for £1.70) and it's fantastic value.
The quality does vary (the vegan sausage rolls I bought last week were still super fresh even after 4 days in the fridge at home, but even if they had gone soggy, which they hadn't, a few minutes in the George Foreman would have easily fixed that. However, the Belgian buns i bought this morning were a little on the stale side, but they were still delicious, and at that price I wouldn't expect perfect goods.)
Yes, some of the staff can be a bit surly, but that doesn't bother me - I'm there for the cheap pastries, not for the ambience! And, to be fair to them, they must get so cheesed off with people coming in and moaning don't do individual sausage rolls all the time.
Plus, they give a big chunk of the profits to charity - what's not to like?
Always have or bake the food we requested
Food still tastes very fresh despite being day old. Great prices too. I usually go Saturday morning and they always have what I am looking for. Love that they save the food from being wasted at other stores. Staff are always very nice
