All fresh out of a Dutch Oven, no doubt.

I promise that wasn’t intentional.

And at least it wasn’t “Midtown”.

Do they have the £1 Bakery outside of the world’s first modern city? They’re part of Greggs. Some of the stuff’s bad, but y’know, not everyone gets paid £18 an hour for staring at a screen in London all day. The sweet stuff’s generally the same as Greggs but smaller. The pasties have a bit less filling in. The sandwiches are very basic but do the job if you’re on a budget. I spend up to a tenner a day on my lunch, average would be about £7. I could easily save a grand a year going to the £1 Bakery.

Obviously the queues are a bit longer as there are more poor people than…not poor people. For me personally, lunch is the only highlight of the working day, so i go to town a bit, but i could easily not do and should probably make the switch. The sausage rolls and veggie sausage rolls are superb. The cheeseburger pasties…not so much, but i’m an adult so i don’t judge.

These?

They’re owned by Sayers, not Greggs.

There aren’t any in London.

A normal working lunch for the big lad at the minute would be…

Brown/wholemeal sanger or salad bowl
Couple of pieces of fruit
Bag of some sort of unsalted nuts
Yoghurt
Large bottle of water
OJ
------
£7

Fair shout. Don’t see many Sayers now.

I’m surprised Greggs get so much bad press really. The vast majority of their products are sort of mid-range. Obviously DiS is quite classist so people will snigger at that. Maybe Waitrose, Booths and M&S being a bit more readily available have borked opinions somewhat…or maybe they’ve just improved a bit. Greenhalghs used to be considered a bit better, but again lots seem to have closed.

Probably just give the money to charity. But then not talk about it.

sometimes i dream about cheese savoury stotties

Well I mean, there are worse things to dream about but I’m still concerned!

I know it’s a bit shit compared to all other lunch options, but I’m definitely going to go to Greggs next week and get myself a feast.

(I’ll probably get there and decide my fiver will be better spent in the Subway next door.)

Yes! They’re my two favourites too. The pink squares are Tottenham cakes.

Ah yes, I had a feeling they had a similar name. I wonder if you only get them in London too? :smiley:

I think I’ve seen them in Maidstone, so they might be a south-east thing.

To be fair, a square of sponge with some icing isn’t really particularly distinctive. Poor Tottenham.

I’d struggle to spend five pounds. Would need to get a baguette and probably a doughnut with the veggie pasty. Love that there’s one slap bang in the middle of Dalston :smile:

Me neither! :facepunch:

How on earth does that come to £7?
