Greggs has announced the release of four new vegan menu items nationwide, just in time for Veganuary.
The UK bakery chain has added two sandwiches, a soup, and chicken goujons to its ever-growing list of plant-based options.
Greggs has said that its Southern Fried Chicken-Free Baguette (£3.60) is a reinvention of the original meat version. It comes with mature Cheddar vegan cheeZe flavour slices, red onion, and a chipotle chili sauce.
The Vegan Chicken-Free Cajun Roll (£3.05) comes complete with Cajun-style vegan chicken pieces, fresh salad, chipotle chilli sauce, and Cajun-spiced mayo.
If you’re opting for the Chicken-Free Goujons (£3.20), you can expect, according to Greggs, a “taste sensation.” The meat-free goujons are coated in lightly spiced southern fried breadcrumbs.
Greggs says that the Warm Winter Vegetable Soup (£2.40) will “make you feel right at home.”
Greggs embraces veganism
The bakery has become known in the vegan community for its wide variety of plant-based options.
In 2019, Greggs sparked national headlines with the release of its now-legendary vegan sausage roll.
Such vegan offerings were a relative rarity on the high street at the time, and the release caught the attention of notorious anti-vegan Piers Morgan, who launched a tirade against the roll on UK daytime show Good Morning Britain.
Greggs has a number of other plant-based offerings, including the Glazed Ring Doughnut, Sweet Potato and Onion Bhaji Rice Box, and Southern Fried Potato Wedges.
There is also a variety of breakfast options, including the Vegan Sausage Breakfast Roll and Hash Browns.

This is fantastic news , the more the merrier 👍🏼 But I am holding out for a vegan cheese and onion pastie , any chance of that anytime soon ?! 😋
That’s great and i enjoyed my vegan chick’n sandwich from Gregg’s in Blackpool in December. Unfortunately, i couldn’t have a cup of tea or coffee with my food because they didn’t have any plant milks.
Brilliant Greggs are great at supplying tasty vegan food
Love it that you’re providing more vegan options. Thank you for helping to encourage the shift away from animal agriculture
