I have not been to Greggs for such a long time as i thought they had got a bit expensive and i was very disappointed in the cheese pasties smelling like baby sick with that cheap new cheese they use. I know someone who works in Greggs in newcastle and he told me the tomato soup they sell comes from big tins of heinz.

I've heard the doughnuts are frozen and about six months old when they hit the shelves.  Probably not true...

I would think they would be frozen and not freshly made.

There are made freash, hence the reason why you dont get them on sunday, as the factory is not open.

Yes I know that's what they claim but I heard it's not true.  Mind you that was from somebody working at a rival bakery!

More details http://superstardoughnuts.greggs.co.uk/
Greggs do make alot stuff Fresh, I so see the sandwiches being made fresh everyday and there heat stuff.  Health inspector would destroy Greggs if there did that,

I will say this Greggs Bacon wrap is biggest load of crap there made and its awful.  All there did was nick the idea from our local bakery.

Local Baker; Two pices of bacon, Orange Chees and Tomatoes: £1.17 tends to be hot

Greegs: one bacon yellow cheese £1.25

I've looked all through that Greggs stuff and can't see anywhere that the doughnuts are made fresh.  Sandwiches, pasties etc - yes.

And I'm definitely with you wjp on the Marmite cheese!
