'Greggs'.

Healthy? There is one of my short walk to University and every morning i go past, it is always tempting to grab a sandwich or sausage roll. Obviously the pastry isn't going to be the best quality but what about the rest?

Mmmm steak bakes. :cool:

Liked them a few years back, but now....

....eugh.

sausage rolls...mmmmm

good for a lunch now and again

psd99 · 1 Sep 2009 at 20:53

not good

pasties are full of bad fats
and I bet the quality of the meat is poor at best

Good only if you aren't able to eat anything else

Used to love them when I worked 60 hours+ a week in a sales job and had no time to make my own lunches. Made me fatter though, I think!

I certainly wouldn't consider it the healthy option.

Tuna crunch on brown is pretty damn good I have to say.

Anything breddy isn't gonna be great for you, but if it's free of dressing (mayo etc) then it shouldn't be too bad really.

Ham & Cheese bake omnomnom.

Don't, don't don't buy a sausage roll from there if you like a sausage roll to actually have sausage meat in the middle. They have some sort of slimy, pale pink gooey stuff in the centre and the 'pastry' is a tasteless mass of something foul! Urghhhhhhh!

Who cares about them being healthy? The Sausage Rolls, from the shop in Newcastle anyway, are nice (not as nice as Wright's though) and that's all that should matter. After all, it's not like you're living on them is it.

I have a weakness for their frenchbread pizza thingy even though i know it is the most awful rubbish.

Yeah, Adsa/Tesco's rolls are just full of ****..

Have to say the pork stuffing bagget from greggs is amasing! Worth a try when its winter..

I love Greggs, but they are far from healthy.

elroberto · 1 Sep 2009 at 21:03

Steakbakes are good, as is the Chargrill chicken ovalbite roll.

setter · 1 Sep 2009 at 21:03

I think theyre brilliant, pity we dont have them over here, i recently spent a week working in birmingham and i ate from greggs at lunch everyday.

ryujinjakka · 1 Sep 2009 at 21:03

Pretty much sums it up. They used to be a great bakery. Although, the exception is their chicken and mango sandwich. Yum!

greggs is awesome, but i've had to forego their treats for a healthier lifestyle, one favourite was buying the mdeal of a sausage roll and soup, then dipping the roll into tomato soup, and if you got it right (and weren't afraid of burning your mouth apart, use the sausage roll as a rudamentary straw ;D

steve-h · 1 Sep 2009 at 21:27

their chicken sandwiches are lovely, I used to eat 2-3 everyday when I went to college
