gilesthe's review of Greggs the Bakers

“Finally learnt my lesson with Greggs.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by gilesthe on 20/03/2015

I can never buy anything from Greggs again for my own safety. Their bread products are actually ok, but a little expensive and I used to like their hot pastry products. However they bake things like pasties and sausage rolls and then let them cool off in a display at above room temperatures, rather than refrigerate them once they are cool. The warm/tepid conditions are ideal for creating a food poisoning issue and after consuming one small beef pastie early this week bought in Orpington I have been sick for four days with food poisoning, diarrhoea, a lot of pain, high temperature and disorientation. All the other food I ate that day was home cooked and shared with others who did not become sick. The consequences for a child, elderly person or somebody with an existing condition could have been devastating if not fatal in some cases. Greggs do not handle cooked food properly.
