Greggs student discount

Pasty tax or not, Greggs will always be a student favourite due to its delicious pastries and bargain prices. 

Starting out 75 years ago with one man delivering eggs and yeast via pushbike, today the brand is well known for its sausage rolls and doughnuts, plus a lot, lot more! It’s a huge chain, with locations all across the country - there are over 1,700 in total, with the original Greggs bakery still standing in Gosforth, North East England. 

And while it might not be the healthiest food, Greggs is committed to serving food that’s free of the nasty stuff, so you won’t find any artificial colours, flavours, added trans fats or MSG. It’s simply good food.

Greggs menu examples

Greggs offers a huge selection of food and beverages, from breakfast rolls and baguettes to toasties and sandwiches. You’ll also find the brand’s range of sausage rolls, melts and bakes, alongside pasties, slices of pizza and a wide range of sweet treats like doughnuts, yum yums and muffins. Healthier options are also available with Greggs’ Balanced Choice range, which includes fairtrade juices, creamy porridge and delicious tomato soup.

And if you want to get your Greggs fix when your local is shut, you’ll be happy to hear that you can buy most of the range at Iceland to cook at home!
