This Greggs is consistently disappointing. The woman behind the counter always seems to have an attitude and struggles to process more than one thing at a time, despite the fact she’s seemingly been working there since the dawn of time.
I went in for a steak bake and a coffee. I was told there were no steak bakes and to pick something else. No, “they’re just coming out,” no “, they’ll be ready in a moment”—just a hard no. Assuming they weren’t going to have any for a while, I picked a sausage roll instead. The second my payment went through, her colleague walked out immediately with a fresh tray of steak bakes. Does nobody in this place talk to each other? Or does she just not care that time continues to exist beyond the exact second she’s speaking?

There's a whole plethora of fine bakers out there and they settle for white cardboard!! Really, what a disappointment. Now if you eat at one of the 2 tables inside the wind tunnel shop, you have to pay a 20% surcharge! They expect Me to pay to eat inedible bread??? No, no, no, that Isn't how this works! You get decent Brown bread for your sandwiches and rolls and I'll Think about going in there again! They do hot pies and bakes that by 3pm look over brown and dry. Their drink selection is fine, the apathetic lad serving was fairly tidy, considering how Tired he appeared to be! If you were famished and everywhere else was closed, at a push, you could stave off the pangs of hunger. If you respect your innards. Head off for a stroll around town. There are plenty of...
