Greggs Stottie Bread: Which Stores Sell It in 2026?
+ Your Full North East Peach Melba Location Guide
The Stottie and Peach Melba are Greggs’ best-kept regional secrets. Here’s every store that stocks them — no vague answers, no guesswork.
If you’ve ever walked into a Greggs outside the North East and asked for a Stottie, the look you got from staff was probably priceless. Been there. The Greggs Stottie bread is one of the most sought-after items on what fans call the Greggs secret menu, but it is strictly a North East England exclusive. It’s not on the website, not on Just Eat, and not something anyone in Birmingham or Bristol will recognise.
So here’s the definitive 2026 guide: which Greggs stores sell Stottie bread, and where in the North East you can also grab the equally legendary Peach Melba.

🍞 What Is a Greggs Stottie?
A Stottie (also called a Stottie Cake) is a soft, thick, flat round bread — roughly the size of a dinner plate — dusted generously in flour and satisfyingly heavy in the hand. Historically baked from leftover dough offcuts pressed flat and baked on the oven floor, it has a dense, chewy texture unlike anything else.
At Greggs, Stottie is sold in halves, ready-filled. Here are the fillings you can currently get in 2026:

📍 Which Greggs Stores Sell Stottie Bread in 2026?
The honest short answer: any Greggs in the North East. Greggs themselves confirmed this officially: “We’ve tried before to sell stotties in other parts of the UK but found that customers elsewhere prefer regional breads from that area… demand outside the North East is not high enough to make this viable.”
That means if you’re in London, Manchester, or anywhere south of Yorkshire — the Stottie simply isn’t available. But within the North East, these are your best bets:

🍑 North East Greggs Stores That Stock Peach Melba
The Greggs Peach Melba is just as exclusive as the Stottie, and honestly just as exciting. It’s a soft pastry shell filled with peach pieces in a light syrup, topped with sweet cream and vibrant fondant. It’s inspired by the classic Victorian pudding and is — rightly — beloved across County Durham, Tyneside, and Wearside.
