There is a dent on top of that custard slice. Possibly from a finger. Unless the square tray of pastry had dropped on the floor I'd rather bake my own pastries, whip up a jug of custard with cream & mix my own icing sugar. Greggs GreggsOfficial

There food hasn’t enough choices, overpriced

That’s it then ! I’m checking the pasties

They did the same with a coffee choux bun it was devastating

Call the fraud squad. Get a life

Easy, don't buy them, there are plenty of other bakers that would LOVE your custom. They will soon drop prices if folk use other outlets. Pound Bakeries are currently giving Gregg's a kicking up in the North.....competition soon sorts out the greedy🤔🤔👍🏼👍🏼

Not bought one in about 20 years - but back then they were large and quite cheap.

Easy decision ... when they shrink there is always an alternative!

GreggsOfficial that’s a disgrace
