Reviewing the UK'S BIGGEST GREGGS! You Won't Like Me Saying This! 

My old mum fractured her spine, came out of hospital on a zimmer. Mum, said I, where do u want to go, I'll take u anywhere u like. Half an hour later we were parked in a nearby town, bypassing several esteemed eateries en route, and she was inching along the pavement towards Greggs for a steak bake with a steely glint in her eye. I had a coffee. It was gopping. But mum was very happy and had an iced bun too.

I buy pastries, sausage rolls etc from a local bakery who has 2 shops in town. The quality is far superior to Greggs and their prices are very reasonable. Support your local businesses !

I really like Greggs. I’m from the North East of England, the home of Greggs, and we had nothing when I was a kid - back in the 1980’s. As a treat, my family would get me and my brother a sausage roll from either Greggs or Carricks (another local bakery) … probably because they were cheap and cheerful. I’m 43, married and a consultant psychiatrist, but having something from Greggs still takes me right back. 😊 Great video, Gary.

I bet the people serving were thinking “Crikey, this bloke really likes his Greggs”.

You tell it how it is Gary, that's why we love you

You could review the process of paint drying and I'd still watch it. You're such a pleasant, wholesome person - I'm so chuffed I found you a week ago! The only time I'd go to Greggs is for a cheap and sort-of-cheerful decaff coffee.

We buy their products frozen from iceland.All decent stuff and 10% off for us pensioners on Tuesdays.

You are as honest as the day is long gary 👍👍

In 2013, the government brought in the hot pasty tax, which meant that previously exempt baked goods were subject to 20% VAT. Greggs circumvents this by selling them straight from the oven and allowing them to cool. Saving VAT.

I love Greggs vegan sausage rolls, they're the best non meat ones you can get. Glad you enjoyed it. Iceland sell packs of them frozen 😃 Nice varied review again 👍

I have just stumbled on your videos Gary and I am now an avid fan , keep up the good work 👍 👌

I will always have a soft spot for Greggs, as my nanna and grandpa lived in Gosforth and they used to take me to the original Greggs on Gosforth High Street when I visited them during school holidays (50+ years ago!). Fond memories. Good to hear that the staff were attentive later on (after your initial rather cool encounter). Without wanting to stereotype, I have to say that all of the Gregg's staff I have met (across numerous branches) in the north of England have been absolute gems. Great video, much appreciated as always.

Lucky you got a table at Gregg's. Usually, you have to book months in advance

Matt from Food Review Club ain’t gonna be buying any new watches when Gary has gained all his followers 😂😂😂😂

Worked on cruise ships so stopped at a few UK ports and had an opportunity to visit a Greggs. Being South African, I'm used to pies so it wasn't something that surprised me. Agree with you that it serves a purpose and I'd recommend it to others looking for cheap eats.

Great review Gary, certainly wasn’t expecting to see you giving it a go in Greggs! 😊x

We didn't expect a Greggs review on Gary Eats but as always...... you gave it a go!

Last xmas, as a bit of fun, Greggs had a posh pop up restaurant in Fenwick's department store in Newcastle "Bistro Greggs". Menu included Steak Bake with Truffled Dauphinoise Potatoes, Green Beans & Almonds. Spicy Veg Curry Bake, Saffron Pilau Rice, Kachumber. Best of all The Greggs Benedict :- Sausage, Bean & Cheese Melt, Smoked Ham, Poached Cackle bean Eggs & Sauce Hollandaise.

Thank you Gary….another brilliant review…..thoroughly enjoyed watching it

At 61 yrs old, I've honestly never been to Greggs, and now I live in Thailand, I likely never will. I can see they fill an important place in the market especially as finances get tighter, and watching you eat those pastries made me feel hungry. Great video. +1 sub.

Gregg's pastry gives me heartburn, so I avoid at all costs

You are the most down to earth and honest food reviewer I've ever come across on RU-vid Gary. Keep up the good work mate!!

It's mad how all the fans in the background seem to keep their cool when young Gary's filming, honestly.

A Gary Eats video and the Spain France match coming up ,great way to spend an afternoon. Hope that everyone has a great day.

Greggs cheese pizza slice and vegan sausage roll are the travelling vegetarians best friend. The one in London Bridge Station is great.

I love the steak bakes and when they are served piping hot I would give them an 8 everytime. All their products are good value and the shops near me are always busy.Another great revue and a very interesting venue.

Your reviews are diverse Garry, but always entertaining. Brilliant!

A very good evening Gary! You seem to be working harder than ever! Loving the reviews as always. Cheers and thanks again for the positivity!

None of the Greggs in Birmingham that I use are restaurants, they are cafés and some don’t have seating. They are cheap and sometimes not very cheerful but you know what to expect before you get there! You are right, they serve a purpose and make a fortune doing it.

Great review again Gary love how diverse they all are with a fair scoring system

Big fans from NZ here Gary, thanks for the mention! Hope you make it down here one day for a food tour!

Food is not kept warm as they would then have to charge VAT. [Also extra health checks.] I worked there for 28 years and while things may not be top end [and not meant to be] they are tasty, do the job and Greggs takes food safety very seriously. If you want to bake your own get them in Iceland!

Thank you Gary! Another honest and balanced review!

Not been to Greggs and still haven't been to Nando's either, you make me feel as if I have had a sheltered life. Well done on the 100k subscribers. Fantastic achievement. Keep them coming.

Full speed ahead for 200k subscribers - well done, Gary! I've never been to Greggs, and I've lived in the UK

I'm so old I remember when Greggs pasties were 50p.

I remember going into bakeries in the 80s and 90s, and everything was bigger and better than what Greggs serves up today.

Having left the UK in 1968, I have never seen or been to a Greggs. I travel back to the UK occasionally and try to find things that still exist when I lived their permanently. I do remember Harry Ramsdens in my hometown, no longer there, sadly. My sister, who lives in Preston, does buy from Greggs, next trip I'll try them. As always, Gary, a useful and informative revue. Don't forget the Gaviscon, lol.

Greggs is a guilty pleasure of mine i must admit. I went in for a sausage roll last week and ended up buying 2 chicken bakes , slice of pizza, another bake , and a doughnut. Another good video , having my tea watching this . 😁

Can't believe you rated the vegan sausage roll high 😲 I've tried it myself and the texture alone was enough to send me running! All the best Gary!

You are so funny when you preferred the veggie sausage roll to the standard one so unexpected! 😮

Canadian here and was amazed to see Gregg's in Primark! Glad to see a Greggs review. Keep up the good work!

Gary, you get around mate! The story of Greggs as a business turnaround from a small regional baker to as you say the largest food chain in Britain is incredible. The reason for your pastry delights being lukewarm is to save them having to charge VAT on hot food, thus making their prices 20% cheaper than rival takeaways offering hot food. I agree a lukewarm sausage roll isn’t a patch on a hot one ❤

Love the variety of your videos for all walks of life brilliant again 👍

Got my cup of Yorkshire at the ready for this ☕️

Having left the uk 15 years ago, been back numerous times on holiday, I’ve never been to Gregg’s! Always fabulous quality from you as per usual!

Great video as always Gary you always manage to amuse yet be nice and fair. Good value food for the price. No Greggs in Ireland but my husband reminded me we were in Greggs in Manchester airport. Looking forward to the next one great work as always from the camera man. Sharon from Dublin

Another great and honest review - reaffirms why I've not been to Greggs for years! i wouldn't mind trying one of those vegan slices though , had a vegan burger by mistake at a BBQ once and it was fantastic 😁

I am really not a vegatarian but it is great to see how you show that there also can be differances between veggie and meat food!

Greetings again from America, Mr. Eats! I’ve never been to Greggs, but I’ve heard of it often from many British youtubes. I probably could not eat much there, as I cannot have milk or eggs. And, yes, I know, that disqualifies probably around 80% of all British foods. I sometimes think that if I look at a map of England for long enough, my body might explode. The gentleman asking if you were okay is actually fairly common over here in America, just with some tweaks. Upon approaching a fast food establishment such as Taco Hell - Roadkill Edition - a staff member will frequently meet you halfway and begin jogging/walking along with you. They will ask questions such as, “Is there a voice in your head talking to you right now?”, or “Do you often feel the need to eat paint chips?”, essentially this is a low-key psych evaluation. You’re supposed to fail, of course, and then they let you in. If you pass, they call the police immediately, because you’re obviously there to rob the joint. Also, I think it would have been hilarious if the donut was piping hot! Like, too hot to even handle.

Heya Gary! Late Congrats on 100K!!!! 🎊🍾🎊 I love the type of things that Greggs have, but they don't have them here. The only decent sausage roll is one I have to make myself.

Great vid Gary, i know Greggs has it's haters but for convenience and price you cant beat it. From my experience some staff are moody but some are the life and soul of the party! You are putting out loads of content... i think you both deserve Gary Eats on Holiday!

I can see why they said they ran out of bacon. The head scarf explains everything.

Glad I've found your channel Gary. Breath of fresh air to RU-vid reviewers.

I'm 35. When I was a kid a sausage roll was 25p. I feel like Greggs has increased it's prices well above the rate of inflation. Obviously still popular but for me, it's also lost it's roots since the days of a ham and pease stottie, meat and potato slice or a rainbow square cake.

Before I retired, I worked as a teacher in a centre for teenagers who were 'school-refusers' (some refused to go to school ... for some the schools refused to have them! Many of them relied on Greggs for their 'hot meal' of the day. It was a popular choice because of the price... on occasion I was known to grab a Baked Bean and Cheese Bake... Haute Cuisine?...Of course not, but it was filling, cheap and not unpalatable!

Good review gary , when we come back to the uk on holiday i will give Greggs a body swerve

Another great video Gary. I'm definitely going to try the vegan range tomorrow at my local Greggs. Appreciate your honesty, warmth and friendly demeanor. Top bloke 👍.

We had Brunch at The Queen's Hotel in Cheltenham today. Had smoked salmon & scrambled eggs. Best scrambled eggs have ever tasted. Good value too! Highly recommended.

54 seconds ago!? Blimey let's goooo...Gary, you're a top bloke.

I think you nailed this review, Gary. I'm from the North East and know Greggs well, they serve a purpose and when you are hungry and in a hurry, they are spot on. Top value for money (if only they brought back the ham and pease pudding stottie)

At least we all see that lady in the middle really appreciates everything Gregg's do for us.

The Greggs Sausage Roll is also known " Greggs Dummy" if you see the young Mums in town their kids normally have one in the buggy to keep them quite lol. Someone may of said this before but to many comments to check! Good to see you are doing this type of review. Keep up the good work!

I miss the 90's Greggs, where the women would shout out "TWENTY IN!" and declare your wealth to everyone in 100 meters.

Some fantastic recent videos, Gary. You and the cameraman put so much time and effort into polished products. Any plans to try out Bocca Di Lupo (perhaps followed by an ice cream over at gelupo across the road)? Keep up the great work guys - always looking forward to what’s in store!

gary was happy to see this pop up today i have been in hospital since friday. I had a gallstone stuck. So they said was sick and kind of out of it for a bit they took it out yesterday and i got to come home today. Great video lots of nice stuff. We don t have that over here. But we do hace a couple of fine bakeries in my town. Your looking good today in your jumper now i have to look back and see if i missed videos over the last few days. Thanks for taking us with you x

Former Greggs worker here 🙋🏼‍♀️. The pasty tax is to blame for the pasties not being kept hot, so that the VAT increase doesn't get passed to the customer. Is a shame as im sure there are plenty out there who wouldn't mind paying the extra for hot pastys, but then it could price some out altogether. When i first started, sausage rolls were 50p, and they were 4 for £1.50. Steak/chicken bakes, etc, were £1, quickly up to £1.10 but you could then buy 2 for £2. Prices have just shot up!

I have to say that greggs is the the kind of place if you are hungry it fills the spot.i hate to come over as a spoilsport but greggs food is not very healthy.so its no surprise to me to see the pizza swimming in grease 🤢.thank you Gary for your review.positivity peace and love ♥️

I really love that you keep it real with the "everyday eats" Gary n son. We have never been to a Greggs but will try tomorrow with my boy. Mexican bobbyjobber and a donut in the post for my tummy!

Things I like about mcdonalds now is that you can add ingredients to your burger, even if its just extra pickles etc, this will force them to make a new burger from scratch so it isnt sitting out for 10+ minutes. Unfortunately you cant do that with greggs, you always have the option of asking them to give your food a quick blast in the microwave

Greggs isn’t as nice as it was…..but I wouldn’t turn my nose up 😂

Nice review! I had 4 Gregg's sausage rolls for lunch today and boy were they tasty... They went down nicely. I've never seen a proper Gregg's sit-down restaurant like this..

the veggie sos roll is actually vegan..

I must admit that I’ve never tried any of their “veggie “ range BUT Gary you have inspired me to “give it a go” next time 😊

Greggs serves a very useful purpose for many people. It doesn't need some vlogger reviewing it just to make money.

I’m vegetarian and I love their veggie sausage rolls and their vegan bakes. They definitely have more taste Another great review Gary 😊

When you’re near a branch cooplands is a must in my opinion better than Greggs!

A Greggs sausage roll with a cup of tea hits the spot. :) Great honest review Gary. We know what we are getting, and we are not expecting michelin star quality but its nice to have a Greggs every once in a while. Loving your channel

Glad to see you are experimenting with captions. Opens up a world of possibilities including, possibly a conversion guide from pound sterling to American dollars? Good on you sir, all the best

They have got a drive through in Irlam near Manchester. In a future life, when I am a fat Northerner that would be my ultimate dream to live nearby 🤣🤣🤣

A mega Greggs inside a Primark store! Talk about hitting your target audience! It’s a well known fact that Gregg’s produce is either stone cold or thermonuclear hot - never just the right temperature. Greggs sausage rolls and Yum Yums - the stuff of legends! My mark, 8/10 for what it is…

I go to Greggs if I’m working on site around the Battersea area and I always have a tea a steak bake and a Belgian bun , it’s not high end but it serves a purpose and it’s value for money , my sons girlfriend is vegan and she highly rates all of their vegan range , great review as usual my friend 👍

Great Review again Gary. Have to say, way back when I lived in London on many building sites in the London, I was never disappointed with anything I got from Greggs. Only wish they made the same breakfast rolls back then. Showing my age now😂😂

Hello! 😊 This is going to be fun....🎉

Trouble with greggs is there's nothing healthy. I'm not saying it's not nice food, its just not healthy.

Gary what a great review I love your channel because you give all places a go as that is the hat makes your channel was step above the rest

This brings back memories. Back in the early seventies my mother would take us to a Cole’s Supermarket Cafeteria for lunch during the school holidays. The waitresses and cooks wore branded caps and aprons. The food was always delicious and it was hard to pick but I usually had the flakiest (and hot) sausage roll. The only problem was the pain mum would go through having to ask Dad for the money which he often, conveniently, forgot to give her when dropping us off. It was relatively affordable and a real treat on mums shopping outing and remembered fondly. She is such a dear.

Greggs - it’s exactly what you'd expect, straightforward and reliable. I must say, I agree with you Gary about the veggie sausage roll. It is surprisingly delightful, but only when it's hot, fresh, and crispy. Keep up the excellent work, Gary. Your quality, honest reviews are always appreciated!

I can honestly say we hate Greggs with a passion , living in the North we have so many artisan bakers we're spoilt for choice when it comes to quality. We have family living on the Jurassic Coast who love the better climate and vistas but have one major dislike and that's the fact all they can find are Greggs and they miss their artisan pies and pasties so much we run them a supply down twice a year 🤣 Yes they have cornered a market but that's because 90% of the British peasants seem to have a love affair with cheap and nasty food.....I like this because it makes my club more exclusive 🤣 Great vlog my friend and await the hates 😁

Another great and honest review as we all know we are going to get. Greggs does the job like all the chain restaurants you know what you are getting. Personally I try and support the family owned places.

Gary, I am 100% with you on the vegan sausage rolls. I got them in a too good to go bag and scoffed at the prospect of trying one, my famous last words were "no wonder they don't sell as they're tasteless!". Well... After heating it up and eating it, it comfortably topped the OG sausage roll. Never ever saw that one coming. Bravo, Greggs! Keep up the brilliant content, when you come up to Scotland please visit Clark's bakery in Dundee. I have a suspicion you'll love it!

I'm the one person who has never been to Greggs. I also hate football and have never seen Love Island, Big Brother, GOT etc......😎😎😎

THE GREGGS CARAMEL DONUT, THE BEST DONUT TO EXIST

Well, you’ve convinced me Gary….I’m going to have to try the Mexican vegan slice! I never go to Greggs but will definitely try it soon 😊 Always look forward to your reviews Gary 🎉

Don’t think I’ve ever had anything from Greggs hotter than room temperature… but it does a job, great video Gary!

The heir to the Greggs bakery chain has had his jail term for sexually abusing young boys cut by five years. Colin Gregg was jailed for 13 and a half years in March for indecently assaulting four boys aged between 10 and 14 over three decades. The 76-year-old, from Newcastle, lost a bid to have his convictions overturned at London's Court of Appeal. But senior judges said his prison term, imposed at Newcastle Crown Court, was too long and should be reduced. The original trial heard Gregg, who helped build up the family business and was also a social worker and teacher, was a "predatory paedophile" who abused his position of trust. Swimming pool Trial judge Robin Mairs described him as "charismatic, inspiring teacher and mentor" who used those attributes to groom young boys. The assaults began in 1963 and continued over a period of almost 30 years, during which Gregg was a teacher. He abused one child in a swimming pool and others were molested in a gym, his study or a car. Sasha Wass QC, representing him at the Appeal Court, argued his sentence was excessive in light of the fact his offending was not in the most serious category. Lord Justice Davis, sitting with Mrs Justice Nicola Davies and Judge Nicholas Dean QC, said the appeal against sentence must be allowed. He said: "Having reflected upon the matter, the view of this court is that a total sentence of eight-and-a-half years is appropriate for this offending and for this offender." I don’t go to Greggs

Our local Greggs must be different to this. Everything is piping hot, almost molten!

Always nice to find a sit-in Greggs. Great to see them doing so well.

Greggs has been great service to the hard up citizens of this country. It has got great competition with Wenzels, a favorite with builders early mornings as they serve coffee too.

I never thought I’d see a man of your calibre in this establishment !?
