Never really understood the fascination. Go in after 3pm and chances are the pasties fillings are tepid and congealed with the pastry burnt and crusty. Donuts are ok I suppose.

Sausage rolls are banging.

However I do resent paying a quid for one, seeing as not that long ago you could get 4 for the same price.

Visit your local bakery instead.

My one closed down over lockdown.

They made amazing pork pies as well. Sad times.

Oh, no.

My local bakery has been open throughout lockdown.

Our local Greggs suffered a blow when the 'Pound Bakery' opened close by. Then they recovered when the PB shut because that part of the shopping centre was demolished to build a large supermarket.
Then lately they've suffered again when the Pound Bakery returned directly opposite using premises of a furnishing shop that went out of business.
Of course Greggs made a fight of it by going all continental. You can [or could before lock-down] sit outide at their chairs and tables while nibbling a pasty.

Pound Bakery have sit-down places too.

Can you imagine the meeting where someone said "here's my idea...we undercut Greggs"

Pound Bakery? Ugh.

Only been to Greggs, over 15 years ago (I think I got an egg sandwich in a bus station).
