What’s Vegan At Greggs? The Full Plant-Based Menu

Since the launch of its now-famous vegan sausage roll in 2019, Greggs has been rapidly expanding its meat-free menu.

The bakery was founded in Tyneside, northern England, in 1939. Since then, it’s become one of the UK’s most popular chains, with more than 2,300 sites in operation all over the country. Greggs is best known for its pastries, which have traditionally been meat-heavy. In recent years, however, it’s been transforming its menu to become more plant-based.

In May 2023, it was reported that Greggs’ total sales had increased by 17 percent in the start of the year, compared to 2022. The growth in popularity of the chain has come amid the growing number of vegan options available to customers. Like fast food restaurants including Burger King, McDonald’s, Nando’s, and KFC, it has been tapping into the ever-growing vegan market.

Here’s everything you need to know about eating at Greggs.
