[Review] Greggs Chocolate eclair and sausage bean melt

There are two branches of Greggs that are close to each other in Lewisham, one is on the high street near Marks and Spencers while the other branch is inside the shopping centre.
The one outside is right next to Percy Ingles which is one of my favourite bakeries before they rebranded.

Anyway, as I didn't have lunch that day, I had the sausage bean melt and a chocolate eclair.

The sausage bean melt was slightly different to the other ones I have tried at Greggs or they are making them differently now.
The one I had before had sliced sausages but the one here had two whole sausages which I thought was quite generous with beans and cheese in the middle.

Finished with the chocolate eclair which was slightly disappointing as the choux pastry was hard and dry.

[Review] Greggs 2 Vegetable Bakes 310g from Iceland

Generally Greggs bakes do not fail but the vegetable bakes were not as nice as the other bakes.
I wouldn't describe it as horrible because it was palatable but I thought the red bell peppers were a bit overwhelming when they were heated up and it was a bit too spicy for my liking.

[Review] Limited Edition Nacho Chili Cheese Bake from Greggs

Spotted the new Limited Edition Nacho Chili Cheese Bake at Greggs so decided to give it a try.
The new bake is vegetarian and made up of sweet potato, mixed beans, quinoa, roasted mixed vegetables and jalapenos in a mexican style cheese sauce and is topped with a seasoned tortilla chip and mixed cheese crumb topping.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because of the sweet potato but when I took a bite, it was actually much nicer than expected.
If you like chili con carne, it is similar to that but the sweet potato chunks are not sweet as anticipated but nice and starchy, then you have the chili and cheese kick which makes it delicious.

As for the tortilla chip and mixed cheese crumb topping, it worked well because I liked the fine crumb toppings which don't get in the way when you eat it.
Overall, I would definitely get this again.
Also had a sausage roll which is always consistently good.

[Review] Vegan Steak bake at Greggs for Veganuary in UK

As soon as it was the 2nd of January, I was on the look out for Greggs steakbake.
It was sold out in Tunbridge wells so I had to try again the next time I was out.

From the posts I had already seen, it was said to be salty and the filling is similar to meat pie so I was expecting the filling to be similar to Greggs vegan sausage roll but darker in colour.
Finally got the vegan steak bake which was piping hot from the cabinet.

Took a few bites until I got to the filling and I was quite surprised the filling was thick and moist, nothing like the previous posts, so I think they have improved it.
The filling looked like bolognese sauce which was good and it wasn't as salty as I anticipated which was mentioned in earlier posts.

Overall, it was quite nice and more comforting because the filling is delicious and I could taste onions in it which complemented it nicely.

[Review] Greggs Festive Mint Chocolate

As Greggs have launched some festive items, I was here for the mint chocolate drink.

Unfortunately I was a bit stuffed so just had the steak bake which is delicious tender beef in gravy inside a puff pastry.

The mint chocolate was rather sweet but then I expected it to be sweet because the hot chocolate base is sweet so adding mint syrup will make it sweeter.

Overall, the mint chocolate is worth trying as the hot chocolate they serve is not bad with a hint of mind.
On another visit, had the triple chocolate donut and the caramel custard donut.
