Advantages: Cheap, Widely Available, Cakes are nice

Disadvantages: Dont like the sandwiches or sausage rolls, no nutritional info supplied

Greggs is a bakers that is widely available throughout most towns. We are in a tiny town I mean it is so small and we still have a Greggs the Bakers. We also have smaller bakers too which in my view provide better tasting items then Greggs.

When I go to Greggs I only tend to go in there for the cakes, as I have tried the sausage rolls and the sandwiches and I must say I am not impressed. The Sausages have a cheap taste to them, relating to the meat that they put in them, I have been trying to find out how much the meat content is but after looking at http://www.greggsthebakers.co.uk they offer no ingredients of what is actually in there baked products.

In fact the website is pretty useless it holds no information that is any use to anyone, why can't they just tell me how many calories, fat etc is in what I am eating?

When I go to my local town I get my sausage roll from a family run bakers, as you can tell they are real meaty and taste divine too. Although I don't know the calorie and meat content from that place, I have a clearer idea of what I am eating has more meat inside then a Greggs sausage roll.

What I like about Greggs though is the cakes, I love the Iced Fingers, and the cupcakes are pretty nice too. They are also very cheap. I think an iced finger is about 20-30p ish, I can't remember. They also have deals on cakes like buying 5 for £1 etc.

Also what is a good option are the meal deals, for £2.99 you get any Bloomer Sandwich, any cookie, jam or ring donut and a drink. Which is good value compared to some other places.

The thing with Greggs is, they just heat the food up in the oven so they are not real bakers really, not compared to the local family bakers who are in first thing baking and making those yummy treats.

The staff are all in uniform, always friendly and I always feel I get a quick and efficient service, also the prices are good. Nice and Cheap.

I also think they have lots of choice and the places always seem really clean, the only downside is not knowing the nutritional information of what you are eating and the food does not taste that nice anyway.

I just go there for the cakes!

Summary: Ok if there is nothing else...2/5
