Many shops and services are shut during the latest lockdown which could last until the end of March.

Here’s the full list of all the shops which can open during the latest lockdown.

Your only ever a four minute walk from a Greggs when in a town centre apparently – here’s what you need to know if you’re popping in during lockdown, from rules in place to delivery options.

Is Greggs open?

In the latest lockdown Gregs branches are remaining open.

Hospitality venues must close under lockdown rules but they are still allowed to serve takeaway food and non-alcoholic drinks.

That means you can pop in to pick up a pasty, you just can’t eat it in store.

Seating areas and toilets will not be available in Greggs branches.

What time is Greggs open?

The majority of Greggs branches are open but opening times may be subject to change at your local branch and they vary from store to store.

You can check the hours for your area using Greggs’ online shop finder tool.

Many shops open as early as 6am and some can close as late as 10pm.

Under lockdown rules, all hospitality must close by 11pm.

What safety rules are there at Greggs?

If you’re heading to a Greggs to pick up food to take away, you’ll need to follow some rules.

These are designed to keep you, other customers and the staff safe during the pandemic and to help prevent the spread of the virus which is on the rise.

The rules include:

• Only one adult per household is allowed – children can join them if needed
• Follow floor markings which help keep people at a safe distance
• Keep a two meter distance from others
• Pay with card or contactless where possible
• Wear face masks or coverings

What is on the Greggs menu?

Much like McDonald’s, Greggs still doesn’t have it’s full menu and you might find some favourites missing from the line up.

This is because it is keen to make things as safe as possible for staff and customers so it’s not up and running to full menu capacity yet.

That said, there is still a fairly large range of food available, from sandwiches, hot snacks, sweet treats and drinks.

Several of the bakery’s favourite items are back, including sausage rolls and steak bakes.

Some regional treats, such as stotties, have been temporarily stopped, as well as Belgian buns and corned beef pasties, which has left some customers “heartbroken”.

How do I get Greggs delivery?

Because of the pandemic, Greggs is now offering takeaway so you can avoid heading into stores.

It first rolled out the service nationwide last summer when reopening following the first lockdown.

There’s also an option to click and collect so you can avoid queues in stores – you can do this online and you’ll need to set up an account.

You can use your Greggs rewards account to login and order click and collect if you already have one.

You can get delivery through Just Eat, though there is a delivery fee which can add to the cost. How much this is can vary from place to place but you’ll see the price before you pay for the order.

You can use the Greggs store finder to see the ordering options at your local store. including click and collect, Just Eat delivery and even drive-thru in some locations.

How is Greggs protecting its customers from coronavirus?

In addition to the safety rules aimed at customers above,  workers will be doing 30-minute cleans of all equipment and key touch points to make sure the stores remain hygienic and virus-free.

All staff have undergone social distancing training prior to returning to work and Greggs has marked out zones on the floor so they can keep in check.

Greggs has also given each worker a specific role so they don’t have to cross paths with someone else.

PPE has been given as an option for workers.
