Greggs in County Durham

I've only used this specific store a couple of times over the last 12 months, but i almost always use it when i do pass that area. It's a small unit within a large BP "petrol station shop", the main shop is a SPAR, with Subway, so the prices are slightly higher, but the quality is excellent and the staff always seem to be bright and cheerful. On this specific visit at 10:30am there was a good selection of hot & cold items available, but the corned beef bake and cheese & onion slice were both "room temperature" instead of warm/hot. Personally I do have one complaint, which applies to Greggs sandwiches as well as the majority of sandwiches sold by other such outlets. As an IBD sufferer (Crohns), I really struggle to find "ready made" items that i can eat without any serious digestive problems. In my case, Iceberg lettuce is completely problem free, as is white bread but it seems that all sandwiches these days use "mixed leaves" instead, which i have to painstakingly remove in order to avoid severe intestinal pains and possible blockages. Greggs do at least have white baguettes, but it would be nice if they also offered white rolls as well as brown. For an IBD sufferer such as myself, it's like playing Russian Roulette with sandwiches, all for the sake of some white bread and iceberg lettuce. The food is delicious, but sometimes i have to miss out because it's not worth the risk of a trip to A&E and possible hospitalisation.

Misserble staff not even a smile Never use this place again bacon sandwich very dry over cooked poor service

I'm not a great fan of Gregg's pies and pasties but I do like the bread and sandwiches. This is a great shop and the staff are great.

This is a fairly new Greggs restaurant. The staff are friendly and the variety is what you'd expect. There's seating within the services and parking is easy.
