Greg's Sausage Roll is a culinary masterpiece that has become a staple of comfort food for those with a discerning palate. From the moment you hold it, the perfectly flaky golden pastry is an invitation to indulge. Its buttery, slightly crisp texture is both delicate and robust, a wonderful contrast to the rich, savory filling that awaits inside.
Upon first bite, the seasoned pork sausage is a revelation. It’s impeccably balanced—moist and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning to bring out the natural flavors of the meat without overwhelming it. The subtle blend of herbs and spices, with a hint of pepper, creates a harmonious symphony on the taste buds, elevating the humble sausage roll to an art form. The sausage is neither too greasy nor too dry; it’s the perfect level of juiciness, wrapped in pastry that crumbles slightly with each mouthful, releasing layers of flavor as you chew.
What sets Greg’s Sausage Roll apart from others is its consistency. It’s as comforting on a cold afternoon as it is satisfying after a busy day. The balance between the pastry and filling is ideal, and the combination of textures—crispy exterior, soft sausage, and tender pastry—creates a melt-in-your-mouth experience with every bite. It’s simple, yet its quality and flavor profile speak volumes to the connoisseur’s eye. The Sausage Roll is not just food; it’s an indulgence that feels both familiar and extraordinary.
In sum, Greg’s Sausage Roll is a quintessential British treat, crafted with precision and passion, and worthy of being savored slowly, bite by bite. Whether eaten on the go or as a centerpiece to a hearty lunch, it stands as a testament to the art of pastry and sausage craftsmanship. Truly, it’s a masterpiece that proves sometimes, the simplest things are the...
Read moreI visited the establishment on Clough Rd, this past Sunday lunchtime. Little did I know as I made my purchases that I would soon be fighting for my life. It was raining and I had my hood up, luckily for me, as I’m certain I narrowly avoided a serious head injury. As I walked away from the shop towards the main road, I was stunned and shocked to feel something hit my head. I glanced around, certain that I was about to be robbed by a couple of scallywags, after my sausage, bean and cheese melt. But no, there was no track-suited roadmen after my lunch. I glimpsed my black feathery assailant as it withdrew and took up position on the roof of a nearby building. Shocked, I realised that my attacker was very large and menacing crow. I eyed it suspiciously as I backed away towards the pavement. It just glared at me, with its dark, soul-less eyes. I managed to get across the road, and turned, just in time to see the “terror-dactyl” swoop from its perch and glide towards me. I immediately took up a defensive stance, ready for the winged onslaught. It clearly meant business, and I was more than a little afraid, but then I realised that I had a secret weapon. I had just purchased a Ham and Cheese baguette, which I could now utilise as a spear. As my feathery nemesis came within my reach, I let loose with my sandwich, scaring the blighter beyond belief, and as it squawked away in defeat, I knew that I had been victorious, and that I had made a wise purchase. I must apologise to the car driver, who bore witness to the savage attack; it looked like she was laughing, but it was probably PTSD. If you have the dashcam footage, please delete it - I don’t want the RSPB on my case.
In summary, nice shop, great tasting and useful sandwich - probably...
Read moreCan only assume desirable skills in the application process doesn't include initiative. People can be queuing out the door with only one person actually serving and the rest shuffling things around out the back. Stood in the queue this morning for over 10 mins whilst one person served, 3 people out the back, one of them just putting sausage rolls in to bags when there's already 50 sausage rolls on the shelves, only to to be told there's no bread. Putting a sign up wouldn't have been a bad shout rather than letting people needlessly stand around waiting to be told that last second. Better off going to the Starbucks and having your pants pulled down over the price, at least you have a chance of being in and out in...
