baker fresh
Insisting on the best has always been the family motto, and today Greggs the bakers still bakes the very best bread from the very best flour. Walk into any Greggs shop and you’ll be greeted with a tantalising freshly baked aroma that brings back memories of what baking really should be all about!
When John Gregg opened his family bakery on Tyneside in the 1930s he had big ambitions. Quite whether he imagined his company would end up with over 1,000 shops right across
Great Britain or not, we don’t know. But, what we do know is this: each and every Greggs shop is still as good as it was in the old days. We still use only the best-quality flour, milled from specially selected wheat to give our bread that distinctive Greggs taste and texture.
We still bake many of our products in our shops throughout the day. And those we need a bit more elbow room to make? Delivered fresh from our own local bakeries - every morning.
bread & sandwiches
At Greggs, we bake our own fresh bread every day. Our bakers are a meticulous lot. Baking a great loaf is all about precision and timing, and that takes experience. The balance of ingredients has got to be just right; the dough's got to be mixed and leavened for the right length of time; the oven temperature's got to be spot on. Once our bakers have prepared the dough and popped it in the oven, it takes about 10 minutes for our rolls 
to bake to perfection. and about 40 minutes for our beautifully baked big bloomers! Still warm and smelling heavenly, Greggs bread and rolls roll out in our fleet of 243 bakery vans to your nearest Greggs shop.
It’s only once the bread arrives fresh from our bakery first thing in the morning that it’s expertly made into tasty sandwiches by the people with the friendly faces you see behind the counter. They’re not pre-packed and chilled days beforehand. That’s why you’ll never see a sell-by date on our packaging.
pasties & sausage rolls
Our legendary steak bakes, cheese & onion pasties and sausage rolls are all baked on the premises in small amounts throughout the day for maximum freshness. Isn’t it reassuring to know that your pasty hasn’t been sitting twiddling its thumbs waiting for you since a week last Thursday?
have your cake and eat it!
From delicious doughnuts to marvellous muffins and fresh cream cakes, ohhhh, Greggs know how to bake… You know you shouldn’t really. But, if you have one of our Greggs Healthier Options sandwiches, surely you’re entitled to a treat?
