Apparently putting a Greggs in the "poshest" town in the coutry is akin to 'putting a sex shop in a senior school'! FFS........

'Like a sex shop in a school': How Britain's poshest town feels about Greggs

Among old cottages, a Tudor watchtower, a cheese shop, and two boarding schools, Greggs has arrived in the upmarket market town of Bruton, Somerset. Locals have mixed opinions

I came to say this. Greggs is the only place I'll eat a tuna/bread product

Show quote history

Their tuna sandwiches are my favourite. So much tuna.
Yum yums absolutely divine.
Belgian buns are my husband's favourite thing.
Quick, efficient service. Good value.

the Halloween Jaffa doughnut is one is the best things I have ever eaten

if only Greggs would bring this back it would change her opinion

That is most definitely not the most poshest town in the country….! 😂

I suspect that the locals have designated it as such because I wouldnt have described it that way either!

Greggs will have done their homework on this and worked out there's a demand for it. In my town we have two large sit down Greggs, one of which also does a roaring trade in Uber Eats. We are very non-U

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/12/2024 20:05

JRM uses my local Greggs when he's in the constituency. Keynsham must be posh.

AtmosAtmos · 10/12/2024 20:04

I’m sure if there is no custom Greggs will close. Or it will be absorbed into the street and be very popular - my guess is the latter.

Maybe they’ll do a posh service for her?

She needs to try their vegan sausage rolls.

They are disgusting. Sooooo disappointed.

Because even a daily steaky bake can’t work miracles on a Haunted Pencil.

I haven’t eaten from Greggs in years as the one local to me inexplicably shut down. I always found that everything had a very distinct ‘Greggs’ flavour which I didn’t like very much, similar to how I find all Lidl chocolate and biscuits have the same ‘Lidl’ flavour. It’s hard to describe.

This is hilarious. Although, I do think the Greggs storefront is a bit cheap looking, they should do a fancy store front using duck egg blue and straw boater yellow especially for fancy towns. And call it Gregorys.

OMG they should absolutely do this!

It would go down a storm, think of all the publicity!!

She’s not had one of their ham and cheese baguettes.

They have PERFECTED the ham to cheese ratio.

It’s practically wizardry.

OMG yes! I rarely eat bread, but when I do I'd rather have one of these than anything!

mondaytosunday · 10/12/2024 19:57

I'm a type 1 diabetic and on a recent trip to Durham felt a low coming on and Greggs was to hand. I've normally avoid it like the plague but I was desperate. Wow! What a revelation! My god! I got a donut for my low (yummy), got a sausage roll for later (delish) and some white chocolate millionaire shortbreads (so good). I am converted.

Did anyone else think this was going to be about Gregg Wallace? (And came on to say yes I think he is that bad 😆)

RosieLeaf · 10/12/2024 19:02

So are their tuna crunch baguettes. One of the very few places not to contaminate tuna with evil cucumber.

This woman is living in the dark. She’ll be enlightened soon by a steak bake.

ImWearingPantaloons · 10/12/2024 19:55

She needs to have a chicken bake and then get over herself

I agree , its like a pimple on a beautiful face.

🤣 that's a better quote.

I'd rather it didn't exist. But it does. What can ya do though!

(Yup I'm a food snob, most of you hate me, I know)

Ladamesansmerci · 10/12/2024 19:53

Do...some places not have Greggs and do some people not like it????

I say, from my Midlands town with several Greggs.

Mydahliasareshit · 10/12/2024 19:53

Is this all the Rees Mogg clan protesting at the same time?
When's the seventh on the way?

I live in the next town from Bruton and am very happy to have a chavvy Greggs on one of my regular routes. Bruton is getting too big for it’s boots and needs taking down a peg. There is NOTHING there except that bloody gallery. And now a Greggs 😊

Show quote history

Lets be honest, before the art gallery there was nothing except Spar.
But my second cousin twice removed... is very important.

Is Bruton posh or snobby?
