Greenhalgh’s Craft Bakers

I hadn’t eaten all day due to pre-​interview nerves, but as I was waiting for my bus in Didsbury my hunger suddenly caught up with me. I ran across the road to this bakery that I’d seen before but mentally compartmented it with the ‘only if starving and in a rush’ bakers, Gregg’s and Hampson’s. I was both starving and in a rush, so in I went.
Greenhalgh’s is a family ‘craft bakers’ which was set up over 50 years ago in Bolton and is rapidly expanding over the North-​west. And it tastes like it too. My cheese and onion pie was delightful. It was full of flavour and piping hot. It was such a refreshing change from the cold and sparsely filled Gregg’s cheese and onion pasty. The staff were friendly too. You do pay a little bit more than at Gregg’s, but in this particular branch they have ‘student pasties’ on display in the window — not pasties made of ground students, but slightly cheaper varieties. They also do several soups which you can buy in cups to take out.
The only problem is, I never really know how to pronounce the name when I tell people about this baker’s. I used to say ‘Greenhalshes’ and I think this is correct, but my recommendations have usually been responded to by ‘Oh, you mean Greenhalgs’. Answers on a postcard.
I didn’t get the job by the way. Maybe I smelt of cheese and onion pie.
