OK - a certain 'baker' which has begun it's evil plan to take over the world, has blue and white packaging and smells like school dinners... what's the deal? Everywhere you look in town there's poorly-looking people with hands full of pasties - not the end of the world, it's their choice if they think that's a meal. My gripe is the amount of litter - don't people use bins anymore? If it's from G***gs does it not count? What about rats? Health and hygiene? You can't walk round town without a soggy blue and white wrapper flying up and trying to attach itself to your person.
Man, Sheffield must have the most outlets in the world!! Pretty soon the definition of Yorkshire cuisine will be ' G***gs pasties'.

Sandwiches are pretty good too! I know its the done thing to knock the big chains but Greggs do their thing pretty well. Bakers Oven is the same chain by the way.
No no, you misinterpret - no 'done thing' going on here. It's filth and people yam it down their throats like it's nectar!! And like all the other 'big chains' it ain't really food (as in no nutritional value, just makes you fat and spotty) and it kills the small businessman. I'd happily pay over the odds for a real Yorkshire pie, made by hand, etc, but some 60p frozen rubbish delivered by the truckload don't get my tastebuds excited at all. So basically that and the amount of rubbish on the streets is what I'm talking about.

Are they really. Why so much more expensive then....don't answer that ....of course it's the brand thing.

I agree. The OP clearly has no taste. Greggs is nice and cheap, and has a wide range of stuff. They're no Ainsley's (West Yorks phenomenon), but at least it's not Subway. Aren't there more Coopland's (in the town centre, anyway) than Gregg's?

Actually, you make a good point here. I'd much rather have a pasty from Scott's, or - best of all - Perfectionary on Sharrowvale Road.

Greggs and Bakers Oven are run as separate businesses, but, yes they are owned by the same group. They are sometimes right next door to each other in some towns - and have to compete for the business.
Yeah, it's amazing. You try and get permission for takeaway premises in Sheffield and the council don't want to know, unless your name is Greggs, it appears.

I agree - steak bakes are amazing... amazing that they're legally allowed to call it 'steak'. I don't know about 'chav' (I thought they were called townies or pikeys), but it seems Greasy Greggs is being adopted by just about everyone in Sheffield. Everyone who thinks condemned meat and sloppy pastry is a meal, that is. It makes me gip just thinking about, but the worst thing is walking through town and being forced to watch people eating that slop.
