guys, something you will not know about greggs, they dont throw food out, what ever is left on the day, from the normal store high street places, then goes, because they are in date still for the next day, go to what is called greggs outlet, where you can buy, the food a a day old at half price, no its not warm or heated, buy it take it home and warm yourself, this is all products sold, because under the rules, is can be kept for 3 days, but thet cant re heat, but you can at home, so the bakes, the sandwiches, go to greggs outlet, and sold half price, which is great for people, who are maybe struggling, can still do affordable meals for the family, or buy nice bread half price, we had one over the road, i was obsessed lol,
That's very interesting! That would be a good idea for a third Gregg's video, if we ever made one! Are those outlets common? We travel on a pretty tight budget, so we're always looking to save money where we can.
@@wherearewe-yt yeah they are common, tend to be in next to shops in the community, im not sure how popular down london way, we have there here in the north east, ours was across the road on the estate, it all freezes as well, as i said, great cheap food for the the family and kids at half price, its not just the pasties, and stuff, it also includes the beard buns, or bread,
My go to baguettes from Greggs are the chicken and bacon or the tuna crunch which you tried. The hot sweet chilli chicken is also worth a try. The run up to Christmas is always a wait until they start doing their 'Festive Bake'. Chicken, stuffing, bacon, cranberry in pastry. I could demolish those all year round let alone just at Christmas!
@@wherearewe-yt It vanishes far too quickly after Christmas. At the same time, pretty much everywhere does festive sandwiches plus there's the Greggs pigs in blankets (sausages wrapped in bacon) baguette.
I reckon if Gregg's opened up in North America they'd make millions, they'd really go for those bakes. Even their sandwiches are way better than Subway and cost less.
The bakes are so good! If it existed in Canada, we'd definitely go. We'd also make a video, to see how it compares! Haha. Our next video is a Tim Hortons UK video. As a Canadian, I couldn't resist. 😂
I'm glad I mentioned the crisps in your question about favourite Greggs items. They are my "go to" crisps when buying work snacks. The ARE better than Walkers Sensations to my taste and the Cheddar ones are the best cheese flavour crisps I have tasted. That crunch!
They were so good! Hand cooked/ kettle cooked style crisps are our favourite, and these ones definitely did not disappoint. If we go back to Greggs, we'd love to try the cheddar.
great to you two back, wonderful couple, great content, what we are good for is budget or struggle food, from weatherspoons, to gregs, to chip butty, we as british keep things cheap in general
The food in the UK can be incredibly cheap. Grocery prices are so much cheaper than back in Canada. We recently went to visit my (Brandon) family, and it was insane. It's one of the major reasons we enjoy spending time in the UK. Lately, we've been booking pet sits, which means free accommodation (which is by far the biggest cost normally). Allows us to see more and film on a tight budget! Thanks as always for watching!
@@wherearewe-yt is that brandon in the north east east we have one here, there is a reason i asked, if its the north east brandon, i was working at a pub close the there, i wont say name to keep your security
Feta and Tomato pasta is my favourite of the salad bowl ranges also Greggs have a new bun the Cherry bakewell so nice aswell as the cinnamon one was for the previous easter period 😋
We were hoping to release this video much closer to Easter, but we were quite busy visiting family and traveling. 😅 The cherry bakewell sounds delicious!
We've been to Wales, but never went to a Gregg's when we were there. We were really wanting to try to Corned Beef at some point!! We've had a few people suggest the Mexican Chicken Baguette actually. We'll make to to try it next time.
Hi guy's a brilliant review as always 😊, I just looked up the cheese bites and there made from soft mild cheddar cheese and no mozzarella which is obviously false advertising, I always look forward to your reviews i do watch a couple more UA-camrs but there nothing on you both and I'm only subscribed to you, look after yourselfs, cheers guys 🍻👋👋👋🙏🙏
Thanks so much! We appreciate it. We didn't even know the bites had cheddar until I was writing up the price tags, and noticed they were labeled "mozzarella and cheddar bites". They didn't taste like either! Hahaha.
The beauty of your vlogs is that you are sharing iconic historic buildings behind you. Belfast is amazing given its history. Watch out for that Ice berg
We love filming in the UK! I (Brandon) am from Canada, so it's pretty interesting to be constantly surrounded by buildings that have been around longer than my own country. Ha! So much history, everywhere!
That makes sense. I can imagine it'd be a lot better that way! Unfortunately for us, we had no access to a microwave this time around, which is why we chose to eat there at Gregg's. That's the freshest we could get! Haha.
Goujons and tenders are the sort of same thing. It's the cut of meat under the chicken breast close to the ribcage. A little sliver of muscle. That said, a goujon can also be a fish, a similar cut of muscle from near the tail. Tenders are always chicken, as far as I'm aware. A lot of goujons and tenders aren't really goujons or tenders and are just breastmeat that has been chopped into the shape of a tender and then breaded. It's sort of like if rump steak was always prepared in one specific way, and then eventually eveything prepared in that way got called a rump steak, even if it wasn't a cut from the rump. I'm a vegetarian, I have no idea why I know this stuff.
@wherearewe-yt you used to get a x4 sausage rolls for £1, most pastries were between £1-1.50 depending on what it was. I'm not sure about the rice bowls and stuff coz ive only tried them on a too good to go bag.
We're referring to the pungency of the fishy smell. Fresh fish doesn't have a strong "fishy" aroma at all. Canned tuna that's probably been sitting around for a while, does. 😂
We are always honest about the food we try! Wouldn't want anyone getting something based on our recommendations, and then finding out it's terrible. Haha.
Like yourselves I was gutted the chicken burger was only available in select greggs locations, if they can do the chicken goujons and other hot food in most places then why not the chicken burgers? 😒
We want to try it! Anja just looked it up, and it's back again. Not sure we'll ever end up in a location where it exists..but if we do, we'll definitely try it.
Most people don't know this but I tend to avoid GREGGS as the owner Colin gregg is now serving a 13 an half year sentence for child molestation in 2017 and is still receiving all the revenue from all his branches!
We don't make UA-cam videos full-time, so we film them when we find the time. It's not often we get to start our day bright and early for opening times - and that's likely the only time we could get everything fresh.
@@wherearewe-yt A lot of the product is made off site and baked on site through the day. You hit the jackpot if you walk in when they have just taken out the pasties or steak baes.
We tried the most common items the first time around (sausage rolls, steak bake, chicken bake, pizza), so this video is focused more on the "less popular" items. Though quite a few people did suggest those bakes! Haha.
It's not so bad, for what it is! It certainly will never compete with a home cooked meal, but for a quick - onthego type of snack, we enjoyed it. I know the prices have went up, but there are few places that are cheaper in the UK. Thanks for watching. 😃

Kinda sad they sell it half price the next day when they could actually give it to someone who actually needs it
Either that or they sell mystery bags on the Too Good To Go app
@@Keiron-pw6slI couldn't agree more. They should just make food and give it away to those who need it rather than those who can afford to pay for it.

The run up to Christmas is always a wait until they start doing their 'Festive Bake'. Chicken, stuffing, bacon, cranberry in pastry. I could demolish those all year round let alone just at Christmas!
Ooooh, that festive bake sounds right up my alley! We don't plan on being on the UK near Christmas this year. Maybe one day I'll get to try it!
@@wherearewe-yt It vanishes far too quickly after Christmas. At the same time, pretty much everywhere does festive sandwiches plus there's the Greggs pigs in blankets (sausages wrapped in bacon) baguette.

I hope ours is as good as the OG ay..!
I'm pretty sure they have started opening shops in North America.
Those rice dishes taste nice enough cold but they taste even better heated up. Theres microwave heating instructions on the packaging. 😋
Unfortunately for us, we didn't have access to a microwave this time around, but I think I'd have preferred it that way, for sure!
If you time it right, you can get hot bakes and sausage rolls.
So we've heard! We never make it for the fresh stuff. Maybe one day.

If you like them try the sweet chilli Tyrrell crisps 😋
So the potato wedges taste of potato that is amazing. I thought they might taste like bacon.
Now that you mention it..🥓😂

@@seanmc1351 I just meant Brandon as in myself! Haha. My family lives on the East Coast of Canada.
Again, I love when she says “It tastes like Christmas“! It’s a vague description, but we all know what that is!
It's her go to description for anything that tastes of nutmeg, cinnamon, or cloves. 🎅
Feta and Tomato pasta is my favourite of the salad bowl ranges also Greggs have a new bun the Cherry bakewell so nice aswell as the cinnamon one was for the previous easter period 😋
We were hoping to release this video much closer to Easter, but we were quite busy visiting family and traveling. 😅
The cherry bakewell sounds delicious!
Mexican chicken baguette and a custard slice for the next one please 👍
And If your near Wales try the corned beef slice as its a regional thing.
We've been to Wales, but never went to a Gregg's when we were there. We were really wanting to try to Corned Beef at some point!!
We've had a few people suggest the Mexican Chicken Baguette actually. We'll make to to try it next time.
Cheese and onion pasty is the GOAT imo.
They're all pretty good, but I think we're still team steak bake.
The best decision was made when not biting into that baguette, those Greg’s baguettes take some jaw power to get through
Hahaha. True enough.
It was underwhelming, for sure. 😬
@Jay91YT yeah the soft rolls are so much nicer but smaller. To me they're not worth the ££ anymore
@@clairegardner9757 the yum Yums and those star biscuits though 🤤
@Jay91YT ive not had the star biscuits tbf. My go to are Yum Yumms or chocolate éclairs 😍🐷
The tandoori chicken baguette is my fave
@@ellamill1995 you're the third to comment this! I feel robbed. That tuna baguette was not the right choice. Hahaha.
If you like spicy crisps you need to try the seabrook Trinidad scorpion crisps. They are really nice but hot.
I like spicy, but Anja doesn't. I'll have to give them a go!
Eat half a bag of those and you can see through time itself. You can hear colours and smell sounds.
best baguette is the hot southern fried chicken one its so yummy
That sounds way better than the tuna...hahaha.
Another great vid guys.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks as always for watching.
The chargrilled chicken oval is my favourite from greggs.
We tried one of the oval bites in the first Gregg's video we did. It was better than the baguette, for sure!
Great review.
You forgot the pizza slice.
We had it in the first Gregg's video we did! That one contains most of the more popular items (steak bake, chicken bake, sausage rolls). Check it out.
Try the jammy heart. My fav.
Looks like a Jammie Dodger! It probably wouldn't even better than that star biscuit.
Yummm I love Gregg’s
@@whitwhite85 It's definitely good for the price!
You guys need to try Wetherspoons next time you're in the UK! It's also super cheap.
Hi guy's a brilliant review as always 😊, I just looked up the cheese bites and there made from soft mild cheddar cheese and no mozzarella which is obviously false advertising, I always look forward to your reviews i do watch a couple more UA-camrs but there nothing on you both and I'm only subscribed to you, look after yourselfs, cheers guys 🍻👋👋👋🙏🙏

Not sure where you got that information from, there's nothing on the Greggs website to back up your claim. Could you provide a link?

Apparently, goujon is French for stud so it’s a stud of chicken 🍗 😅
Hahaha. I can't even find a reason for why the UK uses the word. Reddit had some pretty entertaining theories though. 😂
The rice bowls are a lot nicer warmed up. I think they're meant to go in the microwave for 4/5 minutes.
That makes sense. I can imagine it'd be a lot better that way! Unfortunately for us, we had no access to a microwave this time around, which is why we chose to eat there at Gregg's. That's the freshest we could get! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt fair enough. I recommend trying them warm if you get the chance.

I'm a vegetarian, I have no idea why I know this stuff.
I'm more curious why the UK adopted the word goujon, rather than one of the other many terms. Seems quite random! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt 100% because these are a 70's / 80's thing and Britain at that point thought French sounded real bougie.
I'm pretty sure Gregg's have opened shops in the US.
I can't find any information that confirms that. Doesn't say anything like that on their own website. Pretty sure they only exist in the UK!
@@wherearewe-yt I'm sure I read it somewhere!
Prices have gone through the roof 😮
I (Brandon) have only been to Gregg's three times, so I'm not familiar with the old prices. What was it like before??
@wherearewe-yt you used to get a x4 sausage rolls for £1, most pastries were between £1-1.50 depending on what it was. I'm not sure about the rice bowls and stuff coz ive only tried them on a too good to go bag.
@wherearewe-yt 5 years ago it was 80p for a pastie
I’ve NEVER paid that amount for a pie at Greggs
The prices seem to differ quite a bit depending on location. It's certainly not the same in each city, from our experience.
tandori chicken baguette is the best from greggs
@@SiGr10614 I'm sure it would have been much better than the tuna. That sounds way more like something I'd like.
@@wherearewe-yt it's so good! Just a tandori chicken mix, with rocket.. so tasty 👌
What is with people complaining about fish being fishy.
It’s Bloody fish! 😂
Don’t eat fish if you don’t like fishy taste
We're referring to the pungency of the fishy smell. Fresh fish doesn't have a strong "fishy" aroma at all. Canned tuna that's probably been sitting around for a while, does. 😂
I m so Sad u didn't come to india 😞😞😞
Plz try Indian Food
We plan on it, eventually! We head to Asia in the new year. 🤪
She is fair' he is honest but both tell the truth lol

Dont bite in the middle, just break the sandwich in half
I mean, I suppose we could have done that too...hahaha.
Gregg's is just pastry filled with blandness, the only thing worse is pound bakery
Haha, we've never tried anything from Poundbakery. We'll put it on the list for our next visit! 😂
Most people don't know this but I tend to avoid GREGGS as the owner Colin gregg is now serving a 13 an half year sentence for child molestation in 2017 and is still receiving all the revenue from all his branches!
@@realtalk9195 Gross! Didn't know that. I just knew people hated him. 🤢
her bites are only hitting the crusts, it gets better closer in you get
Maybe that's my strategy..get her to eat all the boring bits, and I get all the filling. Hahaha.
@@wherearewe-yt i agree with your strategy haha! didnt think of that!
The veg meat is quorn a meat substitute
Yeah, we found that out later! Definitely not tofu. Ha! Quorn is a "microfungus", apparently. Pretty interesting!
w video
Who ever said the tuna baguette was the best sandwhich is the dullest person here
Hahaha. It wasn't our favorite. But everyone has different tastes, I suppose!
Why not wait until they take something out of the oven and then buy whatever is hot.
We don't make UA-cam videos full-time, so we film them when we find the time. It's not often we get to start our day bright and early for opening times - and that's likely the only time we could get everything fresh.

Didn't know there was one! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt I said to you the last time when we were talking about the Magic Geekdom lol
Search for Gregg's secret menu.
If you're in Newcastle again, try a Peach Melba. Amazing.
We'll actually be back in the UK in September, but mostly in Scotland. We'll try to make it to Newcastle this time 😊
1/4 food poisoning at Greggs
We've been at least 4 times by now, and no food poisoning so far! 🤷
Your poor stomachs! A whole video about Greggs? Brave people. 😊
Hahaha. Well, we didn't die the first time around, so we thought we'd risk it again.
Trust people to suggest the most boring pastries (sausage, beans and cheese and cheese and onion).
We tried the most common items the first time around (sausage rolls, steak bake, chicken bake, pizza), so this video is focused more on the "less popular" items. Though quite a few people did suggest those bakes! Haha.
Cheese and onion one is elite though
I'm sooooo sick of Greggs 🤮
You probably shouldn't eat there then. Hahaha.
Personally, I've only had it three times in my life, so I'm not! 🤷
Gregg's is far from high quality don't no who told u eat there terrible food
It's not so bad, for what it is! It certainly will never compete with a home cooked meal, but for a quick - onthego type of snack, we enjoyed it. I know the prices have went up, but there are few places that are cheaper in the UK.
Thanks for watching. 😃
