Greggs has become a household name, with many locations open 24/7. However, when the craving for a sausage roll strikes and the ovens are off, the alternative is the Greggs Iceland range for that bakery experience at home. But does it live up to the hype? I took on the challenge with my family to taste and rank all nine products from the range, from least favorite to best, with some surprising results along the way.
Starting with the Greggs 2 Chicken Bakes, it came in at number nine with a 4/10 rating. While the pastry was crispy, the chicken lacked flavor and the sauce was gloppy. Moving on to the Greggs 2 Cheese & Onion Bakes at number eight, the pastry was excellent, but the lack of cheesiness left it a bit bland.
The Greggs 2 Bacon & Cheese Wraps took the seventh spot with a 5.5/10 rating. While a great breakfast treat, the bacon didn’t crisp up as desired. The Limited Edition 2 Katsu Chicken Bakes landed in sixth place with a 6.5/10 rating. The new addition to the range had a lovely heat but felt a bit dry.
The Greggs 2 Steak Bakes ranked at number five with a 7/10 rating. While a classic choice, the steak pieces were chewy and the filling was wet. Moving on to the Greggs 2 Corned Beef Bakes at number four with an 8/10 rating, this comforting option with added onion brought a wave of nostalgia.
The third spot was taken by the Greggs Vegan Sausage Rolls, scoring an 8.5/10. Despite a slightly drier pastry, the herby taste was delightful. A surprising entry at number two was the Greggs 2 Sausage & Bean Melts, with a high 9.5/10 rating. The stewed beans and sweet sauce paired well with generous sausage pieces.
Finally, at the top of the list was the Greggs 4 Sausage Rolls, scoring a whopping 10000000/10. A true bakery perfection, these sausage rolls cooked up beautifully at home, providing a taste of heaven at an affordable price.
In conclusion, the Greggs Iceland range offers a variety of options to recreate that bakery experience at home. While some products may fall short in flavor or texture, others shine brightly, proving that a little extra time in the oven can elevate the taste. So, next time you’re craving a Greggs treat, consider trying out the Iceland range for a convenient and delicious snack.
