Yeah, the line runs down through Greenwich. Hence greenich mean time. People on the east of the line in east anglia etc are 2minuted ahead of those on the west of the line
It's a bakery, they sell sweet and savory, most davory is flakey pastry with some kind of meat filling (google pasty and sausage roll), and the sweet stuff is mostly small cakes and tarts. It's unhealthy and calorie dense (pastry, duh), but fuck me if it's not delicious.
It's not the reason we're fat, that's mostly down to the Americanization of our diets, food standards and work/life culture (office pleb desk jockeys held in higher regard that skilled manual labour or trades). Plus the general decline of our public spaces due to criminals, social scum and veing sold off to private interests.
Britain's problem is we looked to America instead of Europe for cultural and economic models. The greedy old heebs that run this country love it because it makes the population fat, stupid, lazy and greedy, and therefore easier to manipulate.

You dare talk to a white man like that? Get on your knees buck it's time to get broken
the queen's cousin is the senior member of the free masons and literally is the guy who personally molests every young boy in britain and fucks their wife on their wedding night
so you can't be saying bad shit about the people who are actually responsible or you'll get a visit from the paddy wagon
Bollocks. Gregg's is boss.
If it was open now, I'd go and get a sausage, cheese and beans melt. Or two. Gonna buy them tomorrow, first thing, and have them with some Tabasco.
Sure, you're just big-boned right? Definitely not a tubby cunt
I currently live in the UK and have lived in many places. The UK is second only behind Germany for my preferred places to live. I love it. Just don't live in London.
London is the best place to live in the UK though.

North of Watford? Why on earth would anyone go up there? There is literally nothing up north but an economic dead-zone, a vast, barren, and toxic industrial wasteland full of foul creatures with webbed fingers and toes. It's bad enough seeing similar brown creatures in Tower Hamlets, let alone in the wilds of the north.

Greggs is fuckin mint tho
Very much this. Post WW2 rationing ended with American culture and consumerism coming in to fill the void. What happens in america happens here five years later. Greggs is slop for the most part but they do great ham and egg stotties and corned beef pasties (think tinned corned beef mashed into mashed potato and onions, wrapped in puff pastry and baked).
Their meat pies are utter shit, best going to a butcher for a pie.
Nobles Amusement didn't sell out - Greggs had to buy two small commercial spaces with no adjunct walls instead, and hence could not expand into a single, bigger shop.
Fucking zased move from Noble Amusements. Wouldn't even take 1billion. Just to fuck with them.
It's a pastry shop that sells shit like sausage rolls, pizzas, hot/cold sandwiches, and plenty of sweet things like chocolate chip cookies, doughnuts and brownies
Like that other anon said, it's unhealthy as fuck but incredibly delicious
>a sosig roll costs the same, if not more than a bag of spinach, a tub of greek yogurt etc >on top of it being more expensive, you actually have to prepare the food >why are people so fat?
i dont eat the goyslop, but i get why people do
Theres a greggs clone in england as well called pound bakery, where, you can probably guess, everything is either £1 or 2 for £1.
In University when i was purely CICO (i still do cico but care way more about macros) my tea most nights was 2x Cheese Pasty (1000 calories) for £1. Fucking delicious as well. The cookies and cakes from there are ridiculously tasty for £1. I I go there without fail on my maintenance days (eat whatever I want but limited to my daily maintenance, I also walk double the amount that day)
In England there's three meals:
Breakfast
Dinner (lunch in America)

This depends on the region. In the South you get:
- Breakfast (this one’s obvious)
- Lunch (midday meal)
- Tea (light afternoon snacks, usually small cakes/pastries/light sandwiches served with tea, this generally is a social thing, and one wouldn’t have it everyday or by oneself)
- Supper (evening meal)
- Dinner (can be used to refer to your most substantial of the day, usually supper, generally used when talking about a meal out, a formal meal, or a special meal like a Sunday roast or a Christmas roast)
People will have autistic arguments about what people in other parts of the country call things. In the South it’s considered poorfag to use “tea” to mean the main evening meal, for example, whereas that’s the norm in the North.

US Deep South here. I find it so endearing that we still kept the old British customs of tea. The rest of the US doesn't matter here. Tea is known as the "table wine of the South". And yes there are classes here too. Upper middle class still has the British cultural traditions..everyone else doesn't care.

How do you know what calories are in those? Never been in a poundbakery but there's one near my uni, are there nutritional labels on every damn food or something? Can't find a PDF of their nutritional info online like with most places. Appreciate it if anyone could lmk lads, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to macro counting.
Every business with over 250 employees has to show calories on their menus now so the info should be in store or online somewhere. Although, I reckon the quality of meat they use means that it is irregular because they just throw random chunks of animals into a blender for the pasty fillings
Because they're fucking thick. It's much easier to keep costs down if you prepare your own food because of scale and the ability to change ingredients by season. Overall it is far less expensive to prepare your own healthy food than eat commercial slop every day. Shit tier food is only cheaper in the immediate, which is the only future stupid people can comprehend.
They don’t. They avoid paying a tax on serving hot food by not keeping it heated. They just constantly cook more. Hence 75% of the time when you go to greggs the food is cold. The other 25% it’s red hot out of the oven. This means that people mistake them for a hot food shop. Seriously. There was a big fuss about it
Not really. It's simply an effort to liquidate the middle class. Inflation is easily managable through responsible monetary policy (see: not printing 100s of billion of and sending a decent chunk of it to a war that was intentionally perpetuated by a goytoy politician)
>incredibly delicious
Only if you've never been to an independent or high quality bakery shop
The only person who could ever think Gregg's is anything other than slop for the lowest common denominator is someone who has never been to an actual bakery
It's not the sole reason but it's typical of the sort of goyslop 90% of the country eats and considers normal food. In most towns it's hard to find real food that isn't some sort of bready shite.
Yeah but you mutts aren’t one to speak. Your food tastes of chemicals and you put vegetable oil on all of your fruit. I couldn’t even get a punnet of blueberries over there that didn’t contain vegetable oil.
Ty kurwo jebana you're only able to talk shit about white immigrants as the moment you say something about brown or black you'll lose more than your fooking TV license innit
London isn't that high up looking at per capita or by land area.

I always preferred PB to Greggs, tastes as good but much cheaper.
Londoners look down on Greggs as its considered a white working class outlet. But every street in London has the same bready shite panini garbage being sold it just isn't Greggs. People here are obsessed with this fucking tragic "food" it's depressing.
Shit additive laden greasy bullshit.
Imagine thinking about your grans baking and having someone who's never seen food in their life attempt to recreate it.
Then pump it full of oil
Greggs has killed off traditional English bakeries and no one is talking about it. It’s impossible to find a good quality pastie these days. You are a fucking retard who has never left the country (lads holidays don’t count) if you genuinely like those ‘pizzas’ or those tasteless offal sandwiches you call steak bakes
Yeah I was thinking this recently when I visited France that you have literally everywhere local bakeries with delicious shit, meanwhile in England there's nothing like that, besides some overpriced fancy places for rich fags
I live in Newcastle and there are still lots of alternative bakeries, you're talking shite.
None of them are much good like, but that's not the fault of Greggs, they were always like that.
First Greggs was opened in Newcastle lol. There used to be one (non greggs) on a corner on Clayton St that as pretty based. No idea if it's still there.
I’m talking about the south of England not the unkempt barren land north of Birmingham. Food has always been greasy, steamy calorific fried stuff up there.
Down south most villages and cities would have their own handful of good quality bakeries offering their own take on British classics - I’m talking 2000s not 40 years ago. Monopolisation has killed this as well as so much else. Greggs is mediocre trash and peak NPC.
Yeah I was thinking this recently when I visited France that you have literally everywhere local bakeries with delicious shit, meanwhile in England there's nothing like that, besides some overpriced fancy places for rich fags
Same with Italy and much of Europe. It’s pretty heart breaking tbqh. UK is equity fund goyslop for thrice the price of the real fresh food they serve across the channel.
You still find that in villages, even up north. Go to any place with fewer than about 4000 population and you'll find almost no chain shops or fast food, it's all local mom and pop places.
I live in Scotland and there are still dozens of independent bakeries within a few miles of where I live.
Be the change you want to see in the world anon. Open a bakery.
There is a local bakery called chatwins. It's based around Cheshire and they have a handful of shops now. 10 x better than pound bakery which is 10 x better than greggs
If I looked like this I would probably eat and drink myself to death as well. You can't get close to God when you look this ugly, even God wouldn't want you close to him. May as well drink beer and eat chips.
If you want a cheap sugar or savory fix you've got to go a long way to beat Greggs. It's not what they serve but the frequency that people just "pop in" there.
Steak bakes, nice
Cheese and Bacon wrap, very nice.
Vegan sausage roll, sounds awful, but palatable.
Normal sausage roll, quite nice if you don't think about what's in it.
Donughts and cakes, a tastey selection.
They aren't even that cheap any more. Cheese pasties are north of £1.50, used to be 50p when I was a kid and I'm sure they were bigger with more actual cheese and not whatever the fuck paste they put in them now.
Hey fogbreathers!
What is a good wage in the UK? I found some nice jobs in Scotland that pay 12 pounds an hour. Is that good? These jobs pay an annual wage of around 25000. That seems super low, but after looking at Greggs' prices; perhaps not....
If you are a countrylet like me, check the immigration rules. 25000 per year may be below the requirement to get the indefinite leave to remain, and you would run a risk of being kicked out of the country in a few years.
Otherwise, Britain is comfy, I lived in some shitty town in Midlands for a few years and I enjoyed it for what it was.
I was in the English and Cornish countryside 6 years ago and was actually pleasantly surprised I not once saw an ultra-obese pig like you see in these British trash TV shows. Don't beat yourself up too much, there is still hope yet for Britain to not become Fatstrip One.
I went to UK.
I had 3 things from gregg's >Sausage roll
Tasted nasty, very fatty meat and filled with bread filler >Bean bake
it was okay, but I like beans. It tasted a bit off.
If any of you are ever in Yorkshire, have a look to a Thomas the Baker's. God tier bakery, tasty as all fuck and the prices aren't much worse than Gregg's. If there was one close to where I live now I'd be looking like Barry (63) eating 20 pasties on the way to the pub.
When I was in London I tried Gregg's because of the /f1/ meme and Edd Straw, The Race. It was ok, generic sandwiches and other bakeries, coffee sucks just like everywhere else. The employees were third worlders, tho.
Fuck man, London sucks...
I fast 6 days a week, then on my refeed day I go to Greggs and buy 4 steak bakes, 4 cheese and onion bakes, 4 egg mayo sandwiches, 4 caramel custard doughnuts, 2 white chocolate cookies and a Diet Coke. I wish they had better crisps, though.
>I fast 6 days a week, then on my refeed day I go to Greggs and buy 4 steak bakes, 4 cheese and onion bakes, 4 egg mayo sandwiches, 4 caramel custard doughnuts, 2 white chocolate cookies and a Diet Coke
how are you able to eat so much anon? prolonged fasts literally nuked my appetite when i do it and it takes me 1 day after breaking my fast to eat normally
In terms of calories per £ Gregg's is hard to beat, even at their new prices. It's not food you feel good about eating though, even as a skinny person trying to gain.
I used to work on a street that had a Greggs two doors down so it was very convenient to grab two pasties for £3 and be safe in the knowledge that I'd eaten 900 calories already despite being stuck at work all day.
One day I looked at the full nutrirional info and it was something like 70% of daily recommended saturated fats and only 20gs protein for the two pasties. Luckily I switched job soon after though.
Greggs was better in the 2000s. They need to bring back the bacon&egg / piri piri chicken doorstep sandwiches and sell Walkers crisps (the best brand).
Greggories patisserie sells relatively cheap, dense, greasy, pastries.
Thomas the Baker is better, as are all local bakeries; but sometimes you just wanna feel like an absolute piece of shit and eat some greasy stuff. Greggs sosig rolls are swimming, and they are great when warm. Shit when hot, and shit when cold.
Gregg's is for plebs, anyone with class goes to Wenzel's. Get the chicken, bacon and mayo baguette, a cheese and onion slice, a packet of prawn cocktail crisps and a Pepsi Max for £7.50. They also do good chocolate cake.
I currently live in the UK and have lived in many places. The UK is second only behind Germany for my preferred places to live. I love it. Just don't live in London.
I only ever had the cheese and onion bake once, the melted cheese was so hot it burnt my mouth and I cried out loud in pain, my gf left me soon after. So I don't like this chain.
Once I hit my weight goal I'm going to have a Greggs binge - 10 bakes and 4 breakfast sandwiches. Can't wait...the thought's giving me the strength to persevere with this cut.
Most people in the UK subsist from birth on a diet of carbohydrates fried in vegetable oils, it's not the gene pool that makes us look and act like mutants. A typical school kid's diet is smiley faces and baked beans washed down with Tango.
Ah lads I was racist again today

What's with the random anti semitism thrown in there?
It's not random
When the israelite’s blood reds my knife
Then my life is free from strife
Hiding behind rocks and trees
I’ll find them with greatest ease
Make them get down on their knees
Slaughter them despite their pleas
Throw them in the ovens hot
Soap and lampshades sold and bought
Made of the israelites that we shot
Mercy’s something I have not
With the bomb and machinegun
Blast at them and watch them run
We will have a lot of fun
Shoot and kill israelites one by one
Rise up, O Salahuddin
Great and brave Mujahideen
Like the Sheikh Ahmed Yassin
For the Love of Filistine
At Al Aqsa we shall meet
After Israel’s defeat
Their dead bodies at our feet
Taste of victory is sweet
Jerusalem is calling me
Asadullah Alshishani
Jihad’s where you’re meant to be
Come and set the captives free
Beautiful

there are parts of the country where you can stand at the entrance to a greggs and see another greggs further down the same street.
the greggs density is a pretty good heuristic for how far north you are
People say this but there's a Greggs in every London high street. HOWEVER Newcastle is the only place I've seen a 24-hour Greggs
2 Greggs on Shields road
Ashington has two as well but they're far apart
I was in a service station and there were 2 Costa shops and three Costa machines in other shops.

It’s much more high end. But back to Greggs. It’s cheap fodder. That’s all.
Any kind of meat based pastry sold on the continent is invariably shit but the cheese things are quite good.

Yeah but you mutts aren’t one to speak. Your food tastes of chemicals and you put vegetable oil on all of your fruit. I couldn’t even get a punnet of blueberries over there that didn’t contain vegetable oil.
luv greggs
'ate poles
simple as
Ty kurwo jebana you're only able to talk shit about white immigrants as the moment you say something about brown or black you'll lose more than your fooking TV license innit
Don’t you have a toilet to clean, lad?
British George Floyd looks like 5 people I’ve seen in Liverpool. Crazy how similar the fatties in England look
Being obese strips away all defining features like jawline, collarbone, and waist-hip-ratio.
I only ever see pale anaemic fatties eating there tbqhwu
Everything in there is luke warm at best to avoid hot food tax
Wtf is that face
Scotland are the Kings of greggs, followed by London.
London isn't that high up looking at per capita or by land area.
I always preferred PB to Greggs, tastes as good but much cheaper.
Londoners look down on Greggs as its considered a white working class outlet. But every street in London has the same bready shite panini garbage being sold it just isn't Greggs. People here are obsessed with this fucking tragic "food" it's depressing.
isnt the london equivalent of greggs just pret or costa?
Londoners literally imported third world savages to "own" the "bigoted" working class lmao
London is by far the largest city, though. In terms of Gregg's per capita, it would be below any Northern town.
The Gregg's density in Cardiff is very impressive for how small the city is.
Btw lads if you like Christmas mince pies greggs are S tier.
Publix
>not enjoying a tasty luke warm chicken bake
Bakers oven sausage rolls used to be much better than Greggs
Shit additive laden greasy bullshit.
Imagine thinking about your grans baking and having someone who's never seen food in their life attempt to recreate it.
Then pump it full of oil
Greggs has killed off traditional English bakeries and no one is talking about it. It’s impossible to find a good quality pastie these days. You are a fucking retard who has never left the country (lads holidays don’t count) if you genuinely like those ‘pizzas’ or those tasteless offal sandwiches you call steak bakes
Yeah I was thinking this recently when I visited France that you have literally everywhere local bakeries with delicious shit, meanwhile in England there's nothing like that, besides some overpriced fancy places for rich fags
I live in Newcastle and there are still lots of alternative bakeries, you're talking shite.
None of them are much good like, but that's not the fault of Greggs, they were always like that.
First Greggs was opened in Newcastle lol. There used to be one (non greggs) on a corner on Clayton St that as pretty based. No idea if it's still there.
I’m talking about the south of England not the unkempt barren land north of Birmingham. Food has always been greasy, steamy calorific fried stuff up there.
Down south most villages and cities would have their own handful of good quality bakeries offering their own take on British classics - I’m talking 2000s not 40 years ago. Monopolisation has killed this as well as so much else. Greggs is mediocre trash and peak NPC.
Same with Italy and much of Europe. It’s pretty heart breaking tbqh. UK is equity fund goyslop for thrice the price of the real fresh food they serve across the channel.
You still find that in villages, even up north. Go to any place with fewer than about 4000 population and you'll find almost no chain shops or fast food, it's all local mom and pop places.
It's fine if you live somewhere that matters like London, Birmingham or Manchester
I live in Scotland and there are still dozens of independent bakeries within a few miles of where I live.
Be the change you want to see in the world anon. Open a bakery.
Even in town with about 10000 residents you'll usually fins an independant bakery.
But you're right that Greggs is overpriced shit
Don’t talk shite about offal you ugly dyel wog
There is a local bakery called chatwins. It's based around Cheshire and they have a handful of shops now. 10 x better than pound bakery which is 10 x better than greggs
Your steak bake can eat shit brit shits. Chicken bake mogs your trash.
that's a little expensive
it's a foot long though
Is Gregg's supposed to be affordable? When I visited London back in 2019 it was basically the only food I could afford other than McDonald's
That's just London, pal.
Bongs are fat because they but BOTH butter AND mayonaise on thier fucking sandwitches! Can you believe that shit?!
>Is it the reason bongs are fat?
The sleeper reason that nobody wants to acknowledge is the fucking supermarket meal deals that every wagie gets.
If I looked like this I would probably eat and drink myself to death as well. You can't get close to God when you look this ugly, even God wouldn't want you close to him. May as well drink beer and eat chips.
If you want a cheap sugar or savory fix you've got to go a long way to beat Greggs. It's not what they serve but the frequency that people just "pop in" there.
Steak bakes, nice
Cheese and Bacon wrap, very nice.
Vegan sausage roll, sounds awful, but palatable.
Normal sausage roll, quite nice if you don't think about what's in it.
Donughts and cakes, a tastey selection.
They aren't even that cheap any more. Cheese pasties are north of £1.50, used to be 50p when I was a kid and I'm sure they were bigger with more actual cheese and not whatever the fuck paste they put in them now.
>They aren't even that cheap any more
So just like everything else in life then.
Hey fogbreathers!
What is a good wage in the UK? I found some nice jobs in Scotland that pay 12 pounds an hour. Is that good? These jobs pay an annual wage of around 25000. That seems super low, but after looking at Greggs' prices; perhaps not....
£12 an hour is ok if you're not planning to live in a city. It's below average but you can live comfortably on it.
Thanks
Wouldn't get out of bed for that
£15 is the minimum
If you are a countrylet like me, check the immigration rules. 25000 per year may be below the requirement to get the indefinite leave to remain, and you would run a risk of being kicked out of the country in a few years.
Otherwise, Britain is comfy, I lived in some shitty town in Midlands for a few years and I enjoyed it for what it was.
Also, 25000 should be around median wage, meaning it's low but you can live on it.
When will norf get equal representation in parliament?
Why the fuck do those ogres need representation in parliament?
Good for a quick lunch. I usually get a sub and a drink. Ignore all the buns and shit, they're not actually that nice.
How many cheese and onion bakes can you eat in one sitting? My record is 7.
I was in the English and Cornish countryside 6 years ago and was actually pleasantly surprised I not once saw an ultra-obese pig like you see in these British trash TV shows. Don't beat yourself up too much, there is still hope yet for Britain to not become Fatstrip One.
Greggs is disgusting greasy pastries for lower class lifeforms
>disgusting greasy pastries
But sometimes, you just want something dirty.
Fuck off you poncy cunt
Back to your miserable addict infested council estate you unwashed, unemployed, unscrupulous lout.
I went to UK.
I had 3 things from gregg's
>Sausage roll
Tasted nasty, very fatty meat and filled with bread filler
>Bean bake
it was okay, but I like beans. It tasted a bit off.
I much prefer spanish food still.
I issued a fatwa against Greggs when they discontinued the steak+cheese roll.
it always amazes me how skinny chav rats will almost always turn into your typical fat norfmen in their 40s
I haven't been Greggs for a long time but I went recently and a pasty was £2.10. What's happened to it being a working man's lunch
I miss Gregs nut
If any of you are ever in Yorkshire, have a look to a Thomas the Baker's. God tier bakery, tasty as all fuck and the prices aren't much worse than Gregg's. If there was one close to where I live now I'd be looking like Barry (63) eating 20 pasties on the way to the pub.
When I was in London I tried Gregg's because of the /f1/ meme and Edd Straw, The Race. It was ok, generic sandwiches and other bakeries, coffee sucks just like everywhere else. The employees were third worlders, tho.
Fuck man, London sucks...
I fast 6 days a week, then on my refeed day I go to Greggs and buy 4 steak bakes, 4 cheese and onion bakes, 4 egg mayo sandwiches, 4 caramel custard doughnuts, 2 white chocolate cookies and a Diet Coke. I wish they had better crisps, though.
>I fast 6 days a week, then on my refeed day I go to Greggs and buy 4 steak bakes, 4 cheese and onion bakes, 4 egg mayo sandwiches, 4 caramel custard doughnuts, 2 white chocolate cookies and a Diet Coke
how are you able to eat so much anon? prolonged fasts literally nuked my appetite when i do it and it takes me 1 day after breaking my fast to eat normally
I used to eat that every day before I started fasting, lol
It's so tasty
Binge drinking culture and fast&processed food are why bongs are fat.
In terms of calories per £ Gregg's is hard to beat, even at their new prices. It's not food you feel good about eating though, even as a skinny person trying to gain.
I used to work on a street that had a Greggs two doors down so it was very convenient to grab two pasties for £3 and be safe in the knowledge that I'd eaten 900 calories already despite being stuck at work all day.
One day I looked at the full nutrirional info and it was something like 70% of daily recommended saturated fats and only 20gs protein for the two pasties. Luckily I switched job soon after though.
Greggs was better in the 2000s. They need to bring back the bacon&egg / piri piri chicken doorstep sandwiches and sell Walkers crisps (the best brand).
Greggories patisserie sells relatively cheap, dense, greasy, pastries.
Thomas the Baker is better, as are all local bakeries; but sometimes you just wanna feel like an absolute piece of shit and eat some greasy stuff. Greggs sosig rolls are swimming, and they are great when warm. Shit when hot, and shit when cold.
Gregg's is for plebs, anyone with class goes to Wenzel's. Get the chicken, bacon and mayo baguette, a cheese and onion slice, a packet of prawn cocktail crisps and a Pepsi Max for £7.50. They also do good chocolate cake.
This was basically my entire diet during the lockdowns
I can’t decide whether living in the UK is seems super comfy or super depressing
It’s the second one anon
You would love this...Planet Kebabs.
Get a nice greasy doner kebab and chips with chilli sauce.
I currently live in the UK and have lived in many places. The UK is second only behind Germany for my preferred places to live. I love it. Just don't live in London.
The South-East and South-West are really comfy.
money decides that for you
I can eat 6 steak bakes before I need to fart, can anyone else do this
I only ever had the cheese and onion bake once, the melted cheese was so hot it burnt my mouth and I cried out loud in pain, my gf left me soon after. So I don't like this chain.
When SHIB hits £1, I'm going to fly Nikocado over here and buy £100 of Gregg's for him to demolish on camera.
I think he's already F, for the glory of ala hu akbar
It's GREGGS not fucking 'Gregg's' you WANKMITTENS
I will bomb all houses of housing developers for what they're doing to this country
Once I hit my weight goal I'm going to have a Greggs binge - 10 bakes and 4 breakfast sandwiches. Can't wait...the thought's giving me the strength to persevere with this cut.
I lived on Greggs for 3 years.
OK Amerifats, YOU TOO can enjoy a Greggs steak bake
Wish there was a Greggs in Canary Wharf, like.
Worked there on contract for 3 months, had to tell the slag in accounts that £10 a day for food wasnt gonna cut it
£10 a day? I thought the company I worked for was stingy with £40 a day for food
Where my Cooplands chads at?
Most people in the UK subsist from birth on a diet of carbohydrates fried in vegetable oils, it's not the gene pool that makes us look and act like mutants. A typical school kid's diet is smiley faces and baked beans washed down with Tango.
dont forget beer and fags
luv me carling me
