Greggs in Tendring

Brilliant and excellent value for money, nice hot food and drink, very nice staff friendly and welcoming cant wait to return.

Excellent place always has friendly staff and helpful.Busy but quickly served .Excellent choice of food and cakes and great choice of drinks

Visited Gregg's in Clacton-on-Sea today and ordered a steak bake and a pizza slice to eat in. I was hungry OK. I expected them both to be hot or at least fairly warm. They always have been in the past. They were both cold and absolutely awful. I was no doubt charged VAT for eating in but obviously not for having hot food. Steak bakes and pizza are generally recognised as foods to be eaten hot. At least my tea was hot enough to warm me up.

This is your basic Greggs nothing overly better and nothing worse, staff always seem friendly and they usually have a decent amount of freshly made pastries available, We’ve never been disappointed with what we’ve received and will definitely use this Greggs again.

Bought cheese salad bagette & coffee for myself and a beef & vegetable pasty & coffee for my husband. - Firstly I was overcharged to the advertised price. I queried this, but was told it was correct - secondly my husbands pasty looked as though it had been baked and heated up for days. The pastry was as brown as shoe leather & it was cold - the coffee, which I asked to be white literally had a splash of milk in and was practically black. Had to hunt around for a jug which actually had some milk in - Finally, my cheese salad bagette was stale, salad soggy and caked (to the extent that it was all I could taste) in marg/spread which squidged out as I ate it. All in all a very disappointing lunch. We won't be going back

Staff rude on 2 separate occasions. No awareness of actual rules regarding covid seating. No thought given to disability rights. You should never separate a disabled person from their carer/s. That is my right as a disabled person! They asked one of my carers to leave and sit at a different table when it was my wheelchair that was outside the designated area not them because there was myself,a toddler and 2 carers in the corner table causing no inconvenience to anybody (all in one family) and there wasn't any more space in entire store. Only my wheelchair overhung the box which is a reasonable adjustment for my needs. It would have made no difference moving my carer because i was the issue! Made us feel unwelcome. Previous to this staff told my family off for moving chairs we didnt move and interrupted their meal to move them. Really? Absolutely terrible customer service skills, we are regular customers at greggs and after this treatment We will not be returning in a hurry.

Went in not knowing it was not dog friendly. My dog was on a lead and is very very well trained. Unline the screaming banshee of a woman working behind the counter who instead of being polite screamed over all the other customer's heads at me the moment I entered the shop. This crazed woman must have just finished lockdown or something as she needs retraining or sacking.

We were in Clacton on Sea for 12 days for a family funeral, visiting from Canada. We decided to choose Greggs for our breakfasts, fast and easy. We were very pleased, lots of selection, cheese & onion bakes, sausage rolls, bacon roll, sausage on a bun roll. all were very good. The vanilla lattes are excellent too, even have a rewards card and got a free drink while I was there too. When we come back to visit family in Clacton on Sea, we definitely will be back to Greggs!

Great products nice friendly staff Great choices all nice and fresh. Plenty of parking near by.would recommend it .

Staff very rude and clearly need some customer service training.nice food but I won't be going back.

I have always found this bakers to be a nice place to eat in and the service is very good.the food is always inviting to eat and always fresh

I love their food, eat in or take away. Nice pies , pasties and sausage rolls. Great selection of cakes as well. Nice sit down for a coffee and something to eat.

Greggs in Clacton centre is very good for food in or take away you can also found one in Clacton village which is very good too .

This is a typical greggs, but has a good selection of fresh items and lovely hot coffee. Its in the town centre and only a few minutes from the seafront and pier. Staff are friendly which helps.

always go there with my grandson and wife. good service and plenty of seating. good selection of snacks and drinks

Went here for lunch with a friend and they didn’t have sausage rolls which I surprised at but the rudeness of staff is atrocious

Although there is often a queue service is surprisingly quick and always courteous. When its busy they could do with clearing the tables and sweeping up a bit more often but its usually a pleasant place to sit. And so much cheaper and quicker than Costa. Toilets are ok too. For what you pay its a nice spot.

I had a bacon roll and cappucino for breakfast. Good friendly service and very quick. Lots of room to sit inside.

from my last visit nothing has changed its all a bit slap dash in herebut at least i never got to be ripped off this time as i walked out

Clean and well organised, this is a good place to grab a bite to eat. Plenty of seating for rainy days and lots of choice although towards the end of the day stocks run low so best to get there early.

Handy if meeting up in town or if you want to have a quick break.some outside seating and the usual range of cakes and sandwiches

They go the extra mile, I wanted the steak and cheese baguette which had run out they made me one. Great staff 😀

Fed up with slightly disappointing coffee venues in town so tried Greggs . Very pleasantly surprised - smartly revamped. Service was quick despite a queue when we arrived. Place was really clean. Prices very reasonable. Odd to serve cakes on a tray rather than plates....Would go there again.

Been many times over the years but has been revamped by HQ. Now no plates and just a small serviette to eat food off. Just not a homely cafe anymore more a takeaway for bread products.

We decided to come here for a breakfast roll after seeing it advertised outside on a board. It was very busy inside with a long queue. We watched for a small table to become empty and then my husband went to sit there. I think we were very lucky to get a seat inside due to the large number of customers there for breakfast. We were served by a mature lady who was very friendly and very helpful to me, as I had never been inside before and was not quite sure what I had to ask for. I was amazed that we could have sausage, bacon and egg in a roll with a nice big cup of latte coffee for just £2.55 each. The roll was really very good and the filling was hot, as it should be. After eating I used the toilet, which had probably started out clean that morning, but was quite messy. I guess the restaurant/shop was too busy and no one had time to check it regularly.

greggs bakery with seating lovely hot sausages rolls,choice of food pies sandwiches cakes.coffee is good,staff quick,toilets clean good place for lunch

Yo y mi marido regularmente en un tocino pop? Rollo de salchichas o baguette y una bebida. Siempre hemos encontrado que estaba limpio, la comida es deliciosa, especialmente los rollos frescos y el servicio es bueno. Hay una buena variedad de comida y algunas bebidas suaves. La limonada de frambuesa es una de las preferidas de la mía, sin duda continuará a visitar cuando esté en la ciudad.

Vine aquí con la familia, un poco de desayuno antes de ir alrededor de Clacton. Nos sirvieron enseguida, y la comida era preparada rápida. Panecillos de desayuno eran cálidos (podría haber sido más caliente), pero sabrosa y la avena era caliente y delicioso. Sin embargo,...

El olor de empanadas y tartas venían de la tienda cuando nos acercamos. Había clientes sentamos a comer pasteles recién hechos humeante calor. Tuve una torta de carne, que era tan bueno y lleno de carne. El único problema era la duración de tiempo en...

The staff in this Greggs are without doubt the slowest in the country If they can find another job to...

En Greggs hemos estado un par de veces en Clacton principalmente porque de donde está situado al lado de donde habíamos aparcado. Ha tenido una reciente renovación, que está bien, pero la comida es bastante soso y los precios un poco demasiado alta para la comida mediocre. Comida fría aunque caro parece probar mejor que la comida caliente caliente de luke. Lo peor que hemos comido hay una Cornish pasty. Era un poco cálido y cuando tomé un bocado el interior casi como una salida squirted sopa. La mayoría de la gente ir allí porque sólo quieres un aperitivo y no una comida completa, pero no es de muy buena calidad para una conocida snack bar.

Siempre llamamos en una Panadería greggs cuando pasando como ahora tienen ellos en todo el país, buena calidad y pasteles, bizcochos, pan.

I wish Greggs could find a better way of serving customers in a more timely manner. The cake fridge is right at the front of the queue, so you can't see the cakes until you get to the front! We queued for 20mins the other day, and then of course by the time you get to the front, you then feel pressured to hurry up and pick your cake of choice because of the line of disgruntled customers! The staff are so busy & stressed that they are not equipped to speak decently to each customer. Maybe if the staff were friendly and treated customers as they should do, people in the queue wouldn't be so irritated by the time they reached the front! I honestly do not know how they can change this problem. You would have thought that with the recent refurbishment, they would have made sure that there was enough room to have more staff to serve the queuing customers at the busy times!I would like to recommend the fresh cream scones though, they were lovely at £1 each. We have also tried the fresh cream apple turnovers (they seem to have reduced the amount of cream filling in these which is a shame!) and the iced Chelsea buns (they were a little dry).

Absolutely disgraceful was lining up for 15 minutes only to get served with cold food, and bad customer service by a young boy who I believe was called Jordon, will definitely not be returning.

Terrible service at Clacton Greggs, was severed by a young boy with brown hair and glasses was incredibly rude to me... no sense of customers service what so ever... don't know how he got employed and his work uniform is incredibly dirty looked like it hadn't been washed in weeks... will not be returning!

Whilst visiting Clacton today we decided to have a coffee & cake. We found the place reasonably clean however the toilets left a little bit to be desired. Actually the coffee was ok and the cakes were quite fresh.

Called in for a coffee and bun to have on the sea front. Only £2 for the two. Better than eating inside for £2.70. Good value.

Good value food, hot and well presented. Seating could be more comfortable but its a Bakery Cafe not a restaurant. Would happily visit anytime.

Its really nice that its been modernised but really crazy system when the people eating in have to Q with the people taking away. To busy to wait sometimes, would be better with two Qs one for eating in and one for take aways.

my 9 year old son had tun a and sweetcorn baguette that looked like kingsize torpedo i had a nice coffee sat outside in the shade and not disturbed by seagulls

It all looks so nicely modernised and clean. Choice of products very wide and quality very good. Staff more than helpful and polite. Would recommend Greggs to anyone.

I like Greggs. Great Chicken tikka french bread sandwich and a cup of tea, cant go wrong for £3 takeaway price

Big improvement on the last place. Plenty of fresh choice. In the main town of Clacton. Eat in and take away. Never disappointed with Gregg's but their sausage rolls seem to taste different these days and not so keen .

Numerous of occasions I've visited this newly refurbished outlet and every time no selection of filled french sticks very poorly run in my opinion . Opens at 7am , come 730am nothing on display . So that's my last visit . Plenty of other sandwich bars to choose from in clacton . Someone get there finger out .

We use Gregg's a lot it is great for there sausage rolls and cakes the staff are friendly and work hard.

I go here on lunch breaks. The layout is fresh and clean since its upgrade. The food can be pricey, I've seen a small pot of sliced pineapple for around £2 (takeaway). There are always great pastries on show; a wide selection. Queueing is much better in the revamped version. Sometimes when people are paying, they block the showcase of food which can be difficult when you're ordering. Staff are friendly.

This cafe has fairly recently had a refit, it is clean and modern but has less tables. A downside is that customers for the cafe now have to queue with shop customers, so, at busy periods it can take a very long time to purchase your food. I have also found on a couple of occasions that by the time you reach the counter the food you wanted to purchase has sold out....not good for the customer or the company. Food is still as good as ever though. I have only ever been served by the young lad and have always found him to be very pleasant, he is definitely an asset to the company.

Typical new style Greggs with a Get you in, Served and Out type set up. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. The lady was friendly and quick. Not sure if I like the new approach as I preferred the café style Greggs where you could spend a while rather than this fast food approach. Never the less this Greggs is one of the better ones.

Visited Mon afternoon for late quick lunch. Sandwiches and drinks ok for the price. Downside was queuing for ages to get served and lots if uncleared tables so not many places to sit.

Popped in for a latte and steak pie. Very tasty and nice to people watch. Good for take-away. I bought an egg sandwich and the bread was very fresh.

Great place for coffee and cake or hot sausage roll plus other food items. You can sit outside if the weather let's you. For disabled folks another one of those juggle to get in places no disabled toilet if you got an Assistance Dog or Guide Dog again a juggle plus look around your area or if blind ask someone if any food is on the floor.

this is a lovely little gregs the staff are so friendly and helpful...well done.....also the greggs in frinton on sea was even better than the one in clacton

Only two people serving on a busy Saturday morning tables covered in past customers rubbish and coffee so weak I think when they say bean to cup, that actually mean ONE BEAN TO ONE CUP.If you want a decent coffee look for a proper coffee shop and give this place a miss.

Queuing out if the shop door at 11am will be a thing of the past if it continues to take 15 mins for a sausage roll!Really gone downhill although refit looks great

Seems to be understaffed since the makeover queued for ages the past couple of times I've been there and for some reason the hot food is really cold! Really great cakes though if you can be bothered to queue 15 minutes for one!!

Me and my friend just came in here. Not a big order .. A cheese roll, a veggie pastie, bottle of coke and a tea. They have changed the layout of the place and while aesthetically it looks nice enough, the place was messy. Storage pullies were about the place, mops laying on tables .. and they've even stopped using plates! Our food was served on an unclean serving tray .. I can understand why it's more empty now than it used to be. Shame.

Food and dirt all over the floors filthy tables and seats, cages of food and drinks kept outside the toilet decided not to eat in this filth! Would def not be returning.

Looks like Greggs is going the takeaway way as the new design has lost many seats, made the back area look like a nightclub and opened up the silly downstairs toilets to the "Where can we change the baby brigade".The poor confused bread and cake customers now have to line up with those ordering food and find that the selection is reduced along with the ability to have the "Bakers" slice a loaf etc.To add insult to injury you don't get plates anymore and considering the mess the floors used to be we can expect them to be even worse.Seems to me that the bakers that got run out of town by Greggs and it's predecessors could come back and give them a kick in the teeth by offering the public what they want.

Seaside people mostly unemployed or retired. Food as you would expect from a Greggs outlet. A bit dingy inside, outside worse. All the smokers and people with dogs

I have been to this Greggs a few times, and the staff are always pleasant and the food good, but on my last visit I sat towards the back of the restaurant seating area which is quite dingy and in need of a good clean up. The small hallway leading out to what I presume is the staff area is quite dirty in fact and it looks like an accumulation of dust and dirt around the bottom of the door and skirting. The area where food is prepared looks ok as far as I can see, but this did put me off going back again.

Pop in for snack but not very niceSausage rolls were very bad for price 2 small sausages in soft rollno taste at all.

shop in Clacton could do with a makeover, bit tired ,apart from that staff are friendly and always ready to help

This is another Greggs that doesn't disappoint. Fast service, clean tables and the usual excellent selection of bites to eat, plus for fine weather days there is an outside eating area. Well worth a visit if looking for a snack when in the town.
