Greggs is the nation's finest affordable and tasty breakfast experience. The experience can perch itself on either end of the spectrum, ranging from total bliss to agonising torture. Today's offering was somewhere in the middle. The barm (yes barm) was light and fluffy, potentially the finest soft barm my lips doth ever munch upon. The sausages (as always) were very sumptuous, full of flavour. Margarine well spread (although I do wish they used butter).

Shouldn't be advertising them at that price if you can't mix and match. Would have spoken to a manager, but it was busy, so I just left them and walked out. Also, the pasties are often stone cold, and shouldn't be on sale unless they're warm or hot. Service is also extremely slow...
