A Geordie and a Mackem are in Greggs, the Mackem puts two steak bakes in his pockets on the rob, the Geordie saw this and says to the lady behind the counter, " pass me two steak bakes pet, and I'll show you some magic ", the girl hands over the steak bakes and The Geordie proceeds to scoff them at full speed. When he'd finished, the lady behind the counter said " howay!, thats not magic ", the Geordie says, " check the Makems pockets! ". Much love from the UK X

The sausage roll, steak bake, chicken bake, cheese and onion bake would be my go to, and for sweets, the yum yums 😄 Also, if you are able to get the pasties warm or hot freshly out of the oven, it tastes even better!
The Sausage, Cheese and Baked Bean bake is quite epic, especially when warm. Goes nicely with a sausage roll as well. That's always my combo!

My wife loves the Jammy Heart Biscuits, my daughter loves the sausage rolls. As for doughnuts, my favourite is to find a little fresh doughnut stall/shop that makes them to order. Fresh cooked with a little sugar is awesome. Also, I'd suggest trying a decent all butter or clotted cream Shortbread (not Shortcake, that's different). This is not actually bread, but a kind of biscuit. Two varieties I'd suggest is plain with sugar and what's called "Millionaire's Shortbread", which is shortbread topped with caramel and chocolate.

The thing about Greggs is that it's basically the bakery equivalent of fast food, with all the compromises that entails.
Great video! As a meat-eater, the Vegan sausage roll from Greggs is pretty good. Other options you have to try when you next visit: Steak Bake and the Yum Yums are incredible. At Christmas they have a limited item called a festive bake which is also delicious - chicken breast pieces, sage and onion stuffing, bacon and a creamy sage and cranberry sauce. Superb in the cold weather!
I recommend the "Apple Danish" from Greggs. Greggs is where everybody from office workers and building workers, to school children and shoppers go for a good value midday meal. I also avoid their corned beef bakes, as they give me heartburn. There is massive competition on the High Street for the midday meal trade. Since their are hardly and works canteens left now, and few people make packed lunches any more. My grandparents generation, seem to have been the last ones to think that eating in the street was a terrible thing to do. So just about every supermarket and gas station are doing sandwich based "Meal Deals" now. So Greggs have mainly switched from sandwiches to baguettes and wraps instead.
Greggs sausage rolls are fantastic! Great value, great pastry, ideal for a light lunch.
the best thing at greggs in my opinion is the caramel custard donut 😍 id never go for any other donut except the yum yums omg those are great too
You got pizza at school? Wow. Lucky you. Surprised you didn't try the famous Greggs vegan sausage roll. Traditional sausage rolls were more like the Greggs ones just filled with sausage meat. But in recent years they've become much bigger and fancier with other added meats and ingredients like the ones you had in Cornwall. You're right about Starbucks coffee. It's like dishwater. You should try a coffee at Caffe Nero coffee chain next. I think it's the best. McDonalds coffee is supposedly pretty good also for the price which is only £1 I believe. You'll have to let us know if you agree.
I’m from the UK and lived in California for the past 14 years. When I do go back first thing I get is the steak bake. Other items I crave are kebab and chips, pork sandwiches, carvery dinners, fish and chips (orange chips), Indian food, and pubs lol

The cheese and bacon turnover is a life changer! Also the Sausage bean and cheese melt is really good.. however if you don't like baked beans it won't be your thing. Chicken bake is ok too and steak bake is good. I would say any of these. Defo the turnover though. I would not recommend their vegan sausage rolls but their vegan steak bakes and other vegan items such as vegan sausage bean and cheese melt are lovely.
Randomly clicked on this video and was surprised to see my home town! Hope you enjoyed Wells! But yeah the context of greggs is just that is super cheap and everywhere so you won’t get the best stuff ever but it’s reliable and sates a craving.

Love the channel for both of you! A late comment but just incase you were unaware I thought I would advise on the following: In case you wondered the reason why food isn't always hot at Greggs is the fact that they don't call themselves a hot bakery because with hot food they would have to charge tax on it. Therefore if you want your items to be hot such as the sausage rolls / bakes the best time is probably lunchtime or a busy time when demand is there so they'll be heating a fresh batch of bakes etc regularly.
In the early days of Greggs opening up the first store in Newcastle Upon Tyne, the food was ok, the sausage rolls, pies and pasties were full and crammed to the crust. Now, things are very different even down to the pastry, which seems to be very rich and buttery. The only thing I buy from there now, is ‘grab food’ in the way of a tuna crunch baguette and a toffee custard donut or a peach melba. And even the peach melba is a little short on peaches compared to years ago.
Try a breakfast baguette with a latte. I love the sausage bean and cheese melt, but I am in my 40s, lived in the UK all my life and tried the chicken bake for the first time last week! Its now my favourite!
New sub from the UK. I am not vegan, but the vegan sausage rolls are stunning! My fave donut too! Only just found you, but will binge watch 🤗🤗🤗
Hey, I just discovered your channel folks. Great to see different opinins and some good cuts ! Come over to Poland sometime :)
I haven’t bought any foods from Greggs in a long time, but if I was out and about, in the middle of nowhere, and I’m hungry, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Sausage roll, or a Crusty roll with a tasty filling, and a nice cup of tea.
The sandwiches are pretty good, the ham & egg salad one is my fave 😋👍🏻
I’m sure others have suggested them but I’d recommend the Sausage & Bean Melt, the Cheese & Onion pasty and the Beef & Vegetable pasty (which used to be called a Cornish pasty until they had to rename it as it’s made in Newcastle). If they are still doing the sweet mince pies all year round, I’d recommend them too (they did them all year when I worked there but that was a long time ago so they may have changed).
Sausage roll is the best, but I do like a steak bake too Sweet treats the caramel donut, custard slice and éclair would be my picks

That crispy French bread crunch can’t beat it. Their breakfast sausage or bacon , even both on a bread roll or baguette with ketchup/ brown sauce yum they are to die for!
The best pasty from Greggs is the sausage cheese and bean melt. Best sandwich is the mexican chicken baguette. Also, the peach melba tart and strawberry tart are amazing. And the vanilla slices.
I like greggs southern fried chicken goujons, spicy potato wedges and definitely their sausage rolls. 🇬🇧

Got to get Steak bakes and eat them warm. Those and the sausage rolls are what Greggs are all about. Glad you're enjoying your travels here, enjoy and be well. Cheers from Scotland 🍻❤ Edit - Best thing Greggs ever made was their caramel and pecan Greggsnuts. I would buy a box every Friday for the office whilst getting my bacon and sausage roll and coffee. One day they were no more, discontinued, I was advised to email the company which I did when I got in the office. Here's what I emailed lol - Good morning, It is with bewilderment and sadness this morning that I find myself writing to you. Having popped into your store in Glenrothes for my morning coffee and breakfast roll, I could not see on display any of your magnificent Caramel & Pecan Greggsnuts. Enquiring to staff as to whether they were late being delivered and would they be in later, you cannot imagine my astonishment as I was informed this combination of nuts, sugar and heaven is no longer being made. Can you imagine if Ferrari were to stop competing in F1 or if Microsoft were to stop making the Xbox, unthinkable isn't it? This was your David, your Sistine Chapel and to allow us its taste and then no more is tantamount to torture and is surely a breach of the European Convention on Human Rights. The lovely staff members in store advised me to contact you through the website so I ask, implore and beg you to bring back this divine creation, and if you cannot, then please send me the ingredients and cooking instructions so that I can at least try (for sole eating purposes only). Yours pleadingly Paul Dryburgh They emailed back apologising for it's removal with an attached voucher to try their other treats. Fair play Greggs.
krispy kreme donuts are just an overload of sugar, what I love about greggs is they're more balanced you get that sugar hit from the jam and icing but you don't feel sickly afterwards.

Some stores sell them, some don’t.
The sausage and bean bake, tuna crunch baguette and their yum yums are my favourite 😍😍
last time i was in a greggs i liked the salad boxes, they worth a go for when you out and about for a snack
You guys missed out on the steak bake and the cheese and bacon turnovers

Totally forgot about their cheese & bacon turnover! That’s my second option if they are out of steak bakes.

We need to try those next
I've never actually seen corned beef bakes in Greggs and I was in there today. Maybe it varies by what part of the country. Really want one of those doughnuts now. :)

as a greggs worker, yes, they are a regional item, mostly wales and the southwest stores sell them, there are many regional items, the north and scotland have quite a lot of different menu items compared to wales and the south

Yeah, lots of regional items. In the north east Greggs sell stotties and stottie sandwiches. Very disappointed when I moved down south and found they're not sold here.

bad reviews online they should stop selling them
Steak bake, sausage rolls (meat or vegetarian) and coffee are the only items I buy from Greggs... Not that the rest is bad, I just get stuck in a groove when I find something I like! Really enjoying seeing you in Britain!!
Steak and Kidney pie is my fav at gregs nice video thanks
Oh the cheese and onion pasty, and the sausage, bean & cheese pasty is also good. You gotta try the signature steak bake as well
Just came across this, in my opinion greggs is the best bakery in the UK by far! fair enough its cheap food but isnt that what everyone wants? but its good food thou, n its not as cheaply made as you may think it is. But anyway, im glad you enjoyed your experience, n you get an instant sub from me n i hope you enjoy/enjoy your experience in england, n stay safe😊💯
I'm not a fan of Greggs but I'm glad you mention/consider price, its something most channels that react to foods forget about, if somethings cheap yet acceptable then it increases its worth, not least of all that this is UK fast food which is warm/hot, we are used to things being cold and miserable like us lol which is probably why a cheap chain like Greggs is so popular
Which cruel bastards recommended greggs!?

‘They’ said that “we all recommended that they try Gregg’s….” - not me! But I’m thinking that they were getting a taste of our brutal and sarcastic sense of humour 😉 thinking it would be funny to watch them taste testing factory produced fodder in the hope they thought they would be eating proper “home made” bakery goods… funny but not funny - we are soooo cruel! (🤣) (trying hard not to laugh)…

The vegan sausage roll is sooo good, they do a vegan cheese and bean melt too which is nice 😊

I had a vegan saus roll tasted like cardboard.
Steak bakes are great and the yum yums for a sweet treat 😋
The garlic dip is a GAME CHANGER. Get it with a bake of your choice
