Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall.

There were also complaints about a lack of variety, especially during busy times, and some customers expressed concerns about cleanliness. Conversely, some people were satisfied with the staff, describing them as kind, friendly, and helpful, which sometimes improved an otherwise average experience. However, other reviewers were not happy with the staff, citing instances of rudeness, arrogance, impatience, and slow service. Some customers also felt that the overall service had declined.

Horrible staff

I usually go to the Greg’s in the spinning gate Leigh for lunch. Yesterday a staff member who is an older lady probably in her 50s to 60s was extremely rude to me for no reason. I was waiting on the queue to be served on Monday the 23rd of march at around 1pm and she screams at me saying what do I want, which made me flustered and I started stuttering trying to say sausage roll and when this happened I apologized saying my mind went blank and she goes “I wonder why” this lady is usually very rude to me and I don’t know if it’s because she is racist or just rude as she did not have that same reaction toward the other people on the queue. It was a very humiliating experience

We're always like the food of Greggs especially All day breakfast Baguette, Tuna crunch Baguette, Southern fried potato wedges, steak Bake,sausage rolls like that. Sometimes we go there for lunch. Mostly going to Rushden lakes and Kettering Greggs shops. The most amazing thing is the food is affordable to low income families and peoples so much at lunch times and almost busy most of the Greggs outlets. Because of huge rush Sometimes staff will have to work busy and sometimes we have to wait little time in queue. Anyway we are enjoying to go Greggs and eating lunch food. Greggs will helps low income families to eat at affordable prices.

Be aware of what you are eating

Got some sandwiches today from there, we started eating them and one if it had a long grey hair inside it. Looking closer , we found another one , both sandwiches ended up in the bin ! Absolutely disgusting. I would never ever buy anything from there again ! 🤮

I would not like to give this two ratings as well. But as a kind person I am giving this rating, as my concern about giving this review is I brought a large coffee hot chocolate but you know if we asked for the full cup the should give full to glass not to the half level. Is this kind of cheating the customers, not only for me. It might be facing everyone. I have taken the pictures as well but you know I am unable to post here.

Bacon Roll

We often visit our local greggs shops in Hartlepool, mainly the town or Anchor retail park. Yesterday on 18th March we had probably the best bacon roll. We like crispy bacon and the lovely lady searched through the pan to find us some. The roll was super soft too. The breakfast deal is a real bargain too.

Chicken goujons were textured like…

Chicken goujons were textured like rubbery slimy cartilage. Actually sickening. The chicken itself just looked and tasted so off. Also the people who were serving looked and acted like they were on drugs. Or zombified. At one point a woman held up the line for three minutes because the card reader wasn't working and the worker just stood there and made a small grunting noise in their throat while standing there, eyes absolutely glazed. When they finally paid with cash the worker did not even reach their hand out to take the money. Just made the same grunting noise and looked far into the distance. Avoided eye contact with everyone and then scurried into the back furtively. Keep in mind they were seemingly the only one working there. This all took place in one of those Greggs in a Tesco's though. Just highly unusual all around. But not unusual for Gregg's, that's for sure!
