Honestly, the Greggs interview process was pretty chill and straightforward. After applying online, I got an email inviting me to pick an interview slot at my local store. When I turned up, it felt way less formal than I expected — no big panel, just a sit-down with the shop manager or assistant manager, usually in the staff room or a quiet corner of the shop.
The vibe was friendly, and they really just wanted to get to know me — why I wanted to work at Greggs, if I could handle early shifts, and if I liked working with people. They asked about things like teamwork, dealing with busy periods, and how I’d help customers. It wasn’t rapid-fire questions, more like a chat.
They also gave me some info about the role — hours, pay rate, discount (the free Greggs food perk is a bonus!) — and asked if the schedule works for me. It felt like they were checking if I’d actually fit with the team more than testing me.
Overall, the process was quick (like 20–30 mins), super friendly, and not intimidating at all. If you’re prepared to talk about customer service, teamwork, and why you want the job, you’re fine.
