I'm an essential worker and the Greggs at my home station has opened up. I've been getting heavily back into bean/cheese/sausage melts. I'm sorry for your loss.

Harry Ramsdens and going to the one in Blackpool is one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Wasnt clear if you had to wait to be seated or not, portion size was tiny and the menu was far too elaborate for a chippy. I still remember grudging £8.10 for a tiny bit of fish and chips. You had to pay extra for tartare sauce too. gently caress that - should be as standard as salt and vinegar

I always looked at the one in Euston while waiting for the train back to Manchester and invariably went to the Burger King instead.

Are you American? What British chippy do you go to where that's the default?

I ate at the OG one in Yorkshire as a kid around 40 years ago and it was incredibly average then.

This place sounds legit. Who doesn't love a good/any sausage roll

i've only been to the UK a handful of times and although I fully recognize that Greggs is basically the equivalent of Dunkin' (née Donuts)... they make a cream-filled apple danish thingie that is stupid good and I will go out of my way to get one whenever I'm near

Caramel Custard Doughnut is still the best dessert option. Fight me

Oh man I've not had a custard doughnut for so long. Do love the simplicity of a yumyum though.

Vegan sausage roll supremacy

It just doesn't have a vegan alternative to the grease of a regular, (presumably-)pig-based sausage roll, that keeps the 'roll moist. With the vegan roll you gotta have a drink to go alongside it.

Not happy about the impending WW3 driven Greggs price hikes... Can't even soothe our souls with a steak bake in these troubling times

Resurrecting the thread... I was back home in Scotland at the end of August The Braehead Primark has an incredible selection of Greggs x Primark clothing. The quality is surprisingly great (I'm sure more Scottish Primarks must have it too, but I wasn't back just to tour the Primarks so I can't confirm) I recommend the blue, repeating logo shorts and t shirt, the basketball kit, the windbreaker and THE loving CROCS
