Amarillo Bairn Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 This will go down well here, but Stephens the bakers is shit, there pies and steak bridies are dried up in inside and have weird taste I'd rather have a Greggs tbh *ill caveat that with our Stepehens is a bit of the Coop but don't get the love tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephens isn't perfect although their stuff can be good. Their steak and haggis pies are better then their bridies imo. However, even know their worst days, Stephens is superior to Greggs. You could be there at opening time and you'd still be told that the sausage rolls and steak beaks aren't that hot. And a Stephens Caramel Shortcake doughnut is superior to any filled confectionery product Greggs makes. Although their Yum-Yums are decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have furiously countered that five years ago, but times change. I bought a pie and fruit slice recently after a long time away, and the drop in quality is marked. Very disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their morning roll and coffee deal is excellent, their stuff delicious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better local bakers up and down the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Only an absolute jake puts Greggs over literally any other baker. I miss Hunters, they did an excellent sausage roll. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first moved to Fife 25 years ago Stephen's bridies were fantastic. They are now a poor shadow of what they once were. If you can find them, the Buffalo Farm from Kirkcaldy have excellent pies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea) and my old man would get some well fired rolls. We also had Crawfords which was a good bakers too, then a bit further afield there was Stuarts and also Fisher & Donaldson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Is there anywhere that does decent doughnuts I'm Scotland. I like the ones that are like a heavy sponge with air bubbles in them and thick icing on top. I don't like the American ones that are chewy like Krispy Kremes. In Stirling there used to be baynes bakers did them and whatever the Bakers was at the entrance to the thistle centre on port street that seems to be a Greggs now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuarts vanilla slices are absolutely fucking class. As are the coffee towers from Fisher and Donaldson. Pure filth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure filth. Stuart's of Buckhind seem to have quite an outreach these days. I've seen their pies on sale in Stockbridge (don't even ask - blame my daughter) and today I bought an iced doughnut in Meigle (it wasnae very guid - been sitting around for too long) Stuart's paper poke complete with the 01333 phone number. Interestingly Bayview have never sold Stuart's meat filled pastry based produce. I think they jumped from Lightbody's to Morelands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
