Two friends on a mission to find the UK’s best Greggs sausage roll by visiting every branch across the country have named believe you have to head to London to find it.
Tom Saady-Gardiner and Milo Fletcher are on a mission to visit every one of the 2,450 Greggs in the country to find the best sausage roll.
They post their popular reviews to their Instagram account, Greggs Pilgrimage.
And so far, it appears the best Greggs sausage roll is in London.
Milo, from Manchester, told the Sun: “The number of sausage rolls I’ve eaten over the years is definitely in four-figures, but it’s worth it to become a Greggs connoisseur.
"Tom and I have always loved a sausage roll, and we always used to get them for lunch when we were at college together.
“We joked that we should start reviewing them, but someone said there is no point because they’re all the same.
“Anyone who’s eaten more than one sausage roll knows they’re definitely not all the same – so we decided we’d prove a point.
“We keep a spreadsheet of all the outlets that we’ve visited, and the scores we’ve given, so we can keep proper league tables.”
The top scoring Greggs so far is in Westminster, which was giving a score of 8.9/10 based on taste, temperature, freshness, variety and staff friendliness.
Greggs breakfast club
Starting this week, Greggs is dedicating a whole week to The Greggs Foundation and raising funds for the work they do with Breakfast Clubs and local communities .
Last year, the chain raised enough money to fund more than 750,000 free breakfasts for school children thanks to donations from customers and fundraising across shops.
A Greggs spokesman said: "As we approach the 25-year anniversary of our first Breakfast Club opening in 1999, we’re proud to continue giving children a kick-start to their day.
"Together, we can help to open even more Breakfast Clubs and be one step closer to our goal of over 1,000 clubs feeding 70,000 children every day by 2025."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
