A little while ago, I saw a TV programme “Greggs: Secrets of Their Best Bakes” in which some top-class chefs tried to replicate the Greggs Sausage Roll. The program had explained that this brand of sausage roll is much-prized and is sold daily in impressively huge numbers. Now I really enjoy a good sausage roll, so a few days after seeing the programme, and being out at lunchtime, I called in at this Greggs branch and bought a couple, and also a cup of tea. The lady at the servery warned me that the sausage rolls had just been taken out of the oven, and would be hot. I sat and waited about 5 minutes and sipped (my also hot) cup of tea whilst checking messages on my phone. Then I bit into the first sausage roll, which was still hot, but didn’t burn my mouth. The pastry was certainly light and flaky; making that slight soft crunching sound as I bit into it. The meat was reasonably flavoursome, but the texture was just all wrong for me. Yes, I know … ‘a million lemmings can’t be wrong’ but the texture of the meat filling in these sausage rolls is just all wrong. The filling was just a light paste; like a mousse. I’ve had toothpaste in my mouth that had more density. It was so insubstantial as to be almost non existent. Then I received a phone call and as a result the second sausage roll was eaten when it was a bit cooler, but it made no difference at all, it was the same texture. I did get a little more of the flavour, which was pleasant; but the lack of texture dominated my senses, and I found I could not enjoy the experience. I have eaten sausage rolls since I was a nipper: home-made by my mother, in pubs and cafés, shop-baked take-outs from other outlets, and the sausage rolls here at Greggs are undoubtedly the most disappointing so far.

Staff are friendly and service is usually quick when using the drive thru. They accept the app and usually food is warm. On occasion a chicken bake is cold (but very rare).

Cold food, rude staff who refuse to warm up cold food and then accuse you of not having paid in front of a shop full of people. Will NEVER return here.

Poor poor poor! 4 people walked past me at the bar before I was finally served! Food menus all dirty and sticky! Food menu choices are extremely limited and poor! Chose not to eat there in the end! Ice machine didn't work! Bad lighting! Only advantage was the unlimited refills!

Took my mum and sister for lunch. Not enough staff to give good service.Lady at the till clearly not interested. I do not like leaving a negative review. but this was so awful.The 3 cream cakes we could not eat, past their best, we did say something nothing was done. The lunch was really bad, the jacket potato reheated watery prawns. Curry just a plate of sauce covered up with a poppadom, Quiche was the best choice made. This was a really bad lunch. Travelling up from Abbotsbury to have a special lunch, a total waste of money. Couldn't care less attitude.
