Greggs vegan options have now expanded as the chain has added two new hot vegan sandwich options to its plant-based menu – with both available from stores nationwide today.

The high street bakery, which boasts some 2,200 outlets across the UK, debuted its first vegan option – a meatless version of its popular sausage roll – in January 2019.

Since then, Greggs has become a firm favourite among meat-free diners, who will be excited to learn about its latest offerings.

The new options include the Vegan Southern Fried Chicken Baguette and the Vegan Bean and CheeZe Toastie.

And a further dish is set to follow: from September 15, vegan fans of Greggs’ Southern Fried Chicken Goujons can try out its new plant-based alternative.

Vegan Greggs options

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, a Greggs spokesperson said: “Our Southern Fried Chicken Baguette has got a brand-new vegan pal. Yep that’s right, we’ve re-invented our fiery classic but this time with chicken-free goujons.

“Made with a freshly baked crunchy baguette, packed with our tasty vegan goujons and topped with mature Cheddar vegan cheeZe flavour slices, sliced red onion and a generous helping of our infamous chipotle chilli sauce. What more could you want?”

Describing the Vegan Bean and CheeZe Toastie, they added: “We’ve made a mouth-watering cheeZey beany toastie to sink your teeth into. 

“Made with grated vegan cheeZe and classic baked beans. It’s a treat for the mouth, as well as the soul.”

And of the goujons, they said: “Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, our vegan goujons are a taste sensation. Made with tasty meat-free filling and coated in lightly spiced southern fried breadcrumbs. Pair with one of our sweet chilli dips for a top-tier tasty treat.”

Greggs’ new vegan sandwiches are available now, costing £3.40 and £3.05 respectively. Its plant-based goujons, which will launch on September 15, are priced at £3. All options can be made into a meal with a drink and potato wedges for £4.70.
