Greggs

There’s two Gregg’s bakeries in town. These good folks serve up a soft and pretty large bread roll stuffed with crispy bacon, with emphasis on the crispy, and a latte for £2 another £1 gets a long crisp French baguette. The French dry out bacon rind and crush it into a seasoning salt, crafty beggars. Then here at Gregg’s it’s brown or red meaning HP sauce or Heinz tomato ketchup. The original Mr Heinz thought 57 a lucky number, so he used it in his marketing. He never had 57 products in the sense that he began with a few and quickly had over 100. Back to Greggs mega friendly service, not surprisingly very busy and alright latte coffee not great coffee but not at all bad. It’s £2 for pete’s sake and it was tasty. I also bought their hamburger baps in the hope of some sun for a barbecue and a £1.10 for a dozen it was a darn good deal too.

Greggs used to be my favorite bakers. It was always a little more pricey than other bakers on the High Street, but the quality used to make it worth the little extra. I used to love the hot savory food suchs as the sausage rolls, pasties and steak-​bakes. However Greggs in general has taken a nose dive in quality recently. Sausage rolls are now very greasy. Cornedbeef pasties are mostly filled with potato, and the steak bakes are now flat, flakey squares of gravy with a few pathetic slithers of meat. Its a shame that Greggs is cutting the production costs of these products as it is cutting the quality of the end product and is costing them customers.

Greggs is a quick and convenient place to grab a bite to eat! You can get sarnies, pasties, sausage rolls, rolls and baguettes, hot drinks and cold drinks, cakes, crisps and fresh bread.
You can usually find at least one Greggs shop in every high street. They also sell seasonal cakes and goodies, for example Halloween you will find scary looking creepy crawly cupcakes, or at Easter theres your Easter Bunny Buns O. K So they are not actually called this but a good example right?
You can always see what’s being made, you can see the staff out the back making fresh sandwiches, or getting freshly baked sausage rolls out of their big bulky ovens. Another good thing about Greggs is they do have promotions such as their meal deal where you buy a sandwich, drink and something else for a certain price. Bit of an incentive to shop in there!
There is a downside though, the store becomes so busy Queues are usually way outside of the shop itself especially at dinner time/​midday when people are on their breaks and are all looking for a quick, satisfying lunch.

As i work in Newport, Greggs is my favorite place to grab a quick bite in my lunch time. They have a vast selection of freshly prepared sandwhiches from the usual to something a bit different. All there pasties etc are usually pipping hot as they are all fresh from the oven. There range of cakes are second to now with plenty of offers daily. The only downside is that as its so popular that lunchtime you might find people queing outside the door (good job there are a few greggs in Newport). Apart from all this they also offer the usual bakery stuff bread and rolls etc. Soup is available during the winter months and is just the job to warm your cockles.
