What do you normally buy at Greggs or Sayers?
What do people normally buy when they go to Greggs or Sayers? I'm terrible as I generally always get more than one thing. I usually get 2 sausage and bean pasties and a meat and potato pie. Thankfully I don't go to Greggs very often, otherwise I would be 20 stone in no time
![]() I just love the pasties from there though. There also used to be a pie shop I used to go to where I used to live and they sold little rum chocolate cakes, so my calorie intake hit the roof everytime I went there

They're only in the Merseyside area. In Sayers I usually go fot the traditional Pasty or a sausage roll.
I don't think I've ever been in a Greggs but if I did I'd go for a Meat & Potato pie. |

Never heard of Sayers either. I only been in Greggs once, i was told their sausage rolls was great, so I got some last year, never again, vile greasy, tasteless rubbish. If that is the standard of their products, then I will stay well away.

Out of interest, does anyone know how many calories are in the likes of pasties and meat and potato pies? I think they must be quite a lot especially from a bakery.

Sayers are great but can only be found in Merseyside/Cheshire
Greggs seem to be everywhere now. Although greggs dont do pies |

Greggs doesn't sell anything that isn't laden with saturated fat so I avoid.

I always remember that greggs sold pies but never seen them in Yorkshire or in London.
Also the website says nothing about them. |

Chicken or Steak Bake.
The fillings are beautiful, and it's about £1, does me well for a snack, and sometimes lunch. |

For the first time in about 3 years on Monday I had a chicken pasty. Dear GOD it was divine. Followed by a fudge doughnut. So glad no Greggs are within walking distance of my house or I'd be even fatter than I already am.

Where I live ( Birkenhead, Wirral ), there were loads of Sayers.
Then Greggs appeared and Sayers started to close/ relocate. Anyway, I love meat and potato pasties from both Sayers AND Greggs ! |

I don't think I've ever been in a Greggs but if I did I'd go for a Meat & Potato pie. There is a chain of Sayers cafe's in Western Australia, Perth, Fremantle area I wonder if they are related to the Northern bakeries? The Sayers is also one of the names I am tracing in my family tree, but nothing linking to the bakeries so far. |

Never been in either, I daren't. I put on 2lb once when I looked in the window. The sight of everyone outside scoffing with pastry crumbs all down their fronts makes me feel ill.
I realise that makes me sound terribly snobbish but it really doesn't look very nice.
