Please clear up a simple argument for me

1. Is Greggs a bakery?
2. Do they bake their own produce?

That is all. Thanks

dymetrie · 28 Jun 2006 at 12:16

penski · 28 Jun 2006 at 12:18

Yes and yes.

Pasties et cetera are prepared offsite and shipped, frozen to site where they are baked.

Thanks Gilly, I'll be going to greggs for lunch now

Scott Salisbury · 28 Jun 2006 at 12:19

Yep, the one we have you can actually see them baking the food. And the smell of the food too, its clearly a bakery from the smell.

Mmm I'm hungry damn it.

The brother of the guy who owns Greggs taught me at school, strangely enough he was called Mr Gregg.

Oh and to answer, yes and yes

Blimey, it's really not. It's indescribably bad in comparison with the local independant places around here.

You only need to sell baked products to be called a bakery, so they are

Larger Greggs stores actually duct air from the bakery to the street to entice people in.

greggs = crap. any greggs ive ever been to have always had empty shelfs and queues out the door. The food isnt that nice when you do manage to get some.

There's a guy in our office delusional about certain things.

He claims Greggs isn't a bakery. He claims none of their produce is baked onsite. He claims that to be classed as a bakery bread and cakes need to be baked onsite.
