We’re delighted to announce that a Vegan Sausage, Bean and CheeZe Melt is being added to Greggs vegan menu options.
The iconic high street store, which has around 2,000 outlets across the UK, will launch the new pastry on August 5th in all of its shops.
Its new melt joins the vegan sausage roll, steak bake, doughnut, ham and cheeze baguette, and mince pie among other plant-based options.
Greggs vegan options
Greggs created a social media frenzy with the launch of its vegan sausage roll in 2019, which quickly became one of its fastest selling products of the last six years.
The chain then followed the launch with its vegan steak bake, claiming that ‘both drove huge levels of demand and created queues round the block, with over half of shops selling out within minutes on launch day’.
Greggs Vegan Sausage, Bean and CheeZe Melt
Greggs says it designed the Vegan Sausage, Bean and CheeZe Melt to ‘mirror some of the iconic features of the Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melt’.
The pastry is ‘loaded with delectable pieces of vegan sausage, grated original and mozzarella flavour vegan cheeZe, and baked beans’.
Another vegan milestone
In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Hannah Squirrell, customer director at Greggs, said: “The latest addition to our menu gives customers another vegan-friendly alternative to one of our most iconic menu items.
“As we expand our vegan options with the launch of our new Vegan Sausage, Bean and CheeZe Melt, we mark another milestone as we continue with our journey to become our customers’ favourite destination for food-on-the-go.”
