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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Thank you Gary! Another honest and balanced review!

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

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 😁

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 👍.

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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 . 😁

Got my cup of Yorkshire at the ready for this ☕️

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.

Glad I've found your channel Gary. Breath of fresh air to KZfaq reviewers.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Great to have Greggs review! Not sure how far north you need to go before. Square Sausage becomes a breakfast option. Highly recommended on your next visit to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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 ♥️

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 🎉

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

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

Never heard of Greggs. Will be spending time in the UK over the coming year. Very useful review!

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.

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

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 ❤

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😂😂

Another cracking review mate,I'm with you on the taste/flavour of the veggie and vegan bakes,they are my go to on a visit to Greggs and I'm a hardened meat eater.Value for money and definitely has its place.

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

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

There’ll always be a need for Greggs - cheap, tasty and there’s always one nearby. Good honest review - we can’t always be scoffing celeb chef food - love that you are prepared to declare that there’s some decent food to be had there - I love their coffee as well. Great review as usual 👍

A brilliant review Gary, I will defiantly have to try out their Vegetarian options, I have heard some people prefer them to the meat products, I'm with you on their caramel doughnut and their other flavours.

the veggie sos roll is actually vegan..

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......😎😎😎

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

Enjoy your videos a lot 😊keep it up

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’ve never understood the fuss about Greggs..no meat in the pies or bakes often cold no flavours to the food.. sandwiches lacking filling as well

Another great review Gary! I'm not a big lover of Greggs myself. We have had one opened a couple of months back in my home town which is proving popular, but I always frequent our local bakery which does great pastries, bread and rolls and cakes as well. They do also sell a lot of hot sausage rolls every day as well. They are also very reasonable selling giant crusty rolls for 50 pence each! Am a big fan of their chicken and mushroom pasty lol.

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 😊

Hello! 😊 This is going to be fun....🎉

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

Great video Gary can’t go wrong with a greggs! Cheap and cheerful!

Great review Gary. My sister and I were born in Manchester. We now live in Australia and are returning to UK at Christmas. The first thing my sister wants is a Gregg’s cheese and onion pie ! 🤪

I had never had a Greggs despite all the hype until a few months ago. Decided to give it a go and got 2 sausage rolls. Needless to say the weren't great so I probably will never be back.

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 🤣🤣🤣

Amazing clear review of the snatch grab eat run Greggs, excellent for a speedy budget snack when you are in a rush. No mitchelin stars here but they don’t pretend to have one Loved the steak slices in the day lol

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

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

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!

Love the reviews Gary, for me, can't beat Greggs value, corned beef bake is elite 👌

Bravo for trying Gregg's Gary. We have a few in Yorkshire. One unsung company similar to Gregg's is Cooplands which are all over North & East Yorkshire (head office in Scarborough). Might be worth a try if you're ever up this way again, although not all branches have cafés.

As a vegetarian, I love their veggie sausage rolls, sausage and bean pasties. We buy our Greggs products from Iceland and, finish cooking at home. That way, they are hot to eat.

Nooooo! Gary don't do it! Leave our beloved Greggs alone. We know its not five star, hell it isn't even two star food but its comfort food and i can't imagine a world without Greggs.
