The Greggs Sausage Roll is priced differently depending on your location:

Standard
£1.45
City / London
£1.70
Airports / Franchise
£1.95
Eating in? An extra 20% VAT applies when consuming food on the premises.

Greggs operates a tiered pricing structure based on three location types: Standard (typical high-street and retail park), City/London (central London and major city centres), and Franchise/Airports (motorway services, train stations, and airports).

The price difference reflects the significantly higher commercial rent, business rates, and operating costs in premium locations. This is standard practice across UK food chains. An airport Greggs branch may pay 3–4 times the rent of a suburban shop, which is directly reflected in the menu prices.

Tip: If you’re at a transport hub, check whether there’s a nearby high-street Greggs within walking distance for standard pricing.

Both the Steak Bake (prime beef in rich gravy) and Chicken Bake (tender chicken in creamy sauce) are priced at:

Standard
£2.30
City / London
£2.70
Airports / Franchise
£3.00

Greggs offers barista-style coffee at highly competitive prices. Espresso-based drinks (Flat White, Latte, Cappuccino) are priced at:

Standard
£2.40
City / London
£2.75
Airports / Franchise
£3.10

An Americano is slightly cheaper at £2.00 / £2.30 / £2.60. Greggs uses a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans via Thermoplan coffee machines, making it one of the best-value coffees on the UK high street.

Takeaway food at Greggs is zero-rated for VAT in the UK — meaning the listed price is what you pay when taking food away. However, if you choose to eat in at a Greggs with seating, the government requires an additional 20% VAT to be applied, as it is classified as a restaurant service.

This applies to hot food and hot drinks eaten on the premises. Cold food eaten in is also subject to VAT in some circumstances. This is a UK-wide rule, not unique to Greggs.

Greggs doughnut prices at standard locations in 2026:

Glazed Ring Doughnut — £1.20 Jam Doughnut — £1.15 Caramel Custard Doughnut — £1.50 Pink Jammie Doughnut — £1.50

Prices are slightly higher at city and airport outlets. All doughnuts are freshly prepared in-store.

Greggs offers individual slices and sharing boxes. At standard locations:

Margherita Slice — £2.40 Pepperoni Slice — £2.75 4-Slice Box — £6.50 6-Slice Box — £9.00

The sharing pizza boxes can be customised with any topping available in that store. They are a popular evening meal option and are served hot.

Greggs accepts: Cash, Credit & Debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Greggs App balance, and Greggs Gift Cards. Gift Cards can be purchased online at greggs.com or in-store and used at any UK Greggs location.

Greggs has made incremental price adjustments in line with UK-wide food inflation, rising ingredient costs, and the National Living Wage increases. However, Greggs consistently remains one of the most affordable food-to-go options on the UK high street — with a sausage roll still under £1.50 at most locations.

We verify and update prices on this site regularly. If you notice a discrepancy, the price in-store or on the Greggs app is always authoritative.

Greggs breakfast is available from 6:30 AM until 11:00 AM at most UK branches, Monday to Sunday. After 11 AM, the breakfast menu is replaced by the full lunch and all-day menu.

Timings can vary slightly at transport hub locations (some open earlier at 5:30 AM) and smaller outlets (some may not offer the full breakfast range). Always check your local branch via the Greggs app or website for exact times.

Greggs breakfast rolls (in a soft corn-top roll) include: Bacon Sausage Omelette Vegan Sausage Bacon & Omelette Sausage & Omelette Bacon & Sausage

Breakfast baguettes include: Bacon Sausage Omelette All Day Breakfast Bacon & Omelette Bacon & Sausage Sausage & Omelette

There is also the Bacon & Cheese Wrap — crispy back bacon and Cheddar cheese in a flaky puff pastry wrap (£2.40 / 385 kcal), a popular grab-and-go breakfast item.

The Greggs Breakfast Meal Deal pairs a qualifying breakfast item with a hot or cold drink at a bundled price, saving you versus buying items separately. A typical combination — such as a Bacon Breakfast Roll plus a Latte — starts from around £2.85.

Available every morning until 11 AM, the deal is accessible in-store, via the Greggs app (for Click + Collect), and on delivery platforms. The exact items included in the deal can vary by location and promotion period, so check the Greggs app for the current offer.

Simply Creamy — 249 kcal Golden Syrup — 249 kcal Apple & Cinnamon — 222 kcal

There is also the Overnight Oats with Seeds & Dried Fruit (£2.95 / 285 kcal) — a cold-serve option with yoghurt, honey, pumpkin seeds, and sultanas, ideal for a lighter and more sustaining start.

Yes. Greggs sells Hash Browns (2 Pack) — shredded potatoes fried then baked until golden. They are a popular breakfast side served alongside a roll or baguette.

Standard

No — Greggs breakfast is strictly available until 11:00 AM at most stores. After that, the kitchen transitions fully to lunch and all-day items.

The Greggs Sausage Roll (103g) contains 348 kcal. It is made with seasoned pork sausage meat wrapped in golden puff pastry. The Vegan Sausage Roll (101g) is slightly higher in calories at 302 kcal due to its Quorn mycoprotein filling. The calorie count does not change with location.

Some of the most popular low-calorie choices at Greggs:

Apple & Strawberry Fruit Pot — 43 kcal Melon & Grape Fruit Pot — 48 kcal Americano (black) — 11 kcal Apple & Cinnamon Porridge — 222 kcal Tuna Crunch Baguette — 413 kcal Gingerbread Man — 185 kcal

Calorie counting? All Greggs items display calories in-store under the UK government’s calorie labelling law. Our Calorie Counting section has a complete breakdown of every item.

The Greggs Steak Bake (136.4g) contains 428 kcal. It is filled with prime beef in a rich gravy, encased in Greggs’ signature golden puff pastry. The Chicken Bake (150.4g) is slightly lower at 426 kcal.

Greggs’ porridge range (Simply Creamy, Golden Syrup, and Apple & Cinnamon) is made with gluten-free oats and is labelled gluten-free. Fruit pots and yoghurt pots are also gluten-free by nature.

However, Greggs bakeries handle wheat extensively, so there is a risk of cross-contamination. Anyone with coeliac disease should exercise caution and speak to a member of staff before ordering. Greggs does not formally certify its sites as gluten-free environments.

The complete Greggs nutritional information — including calories, fat, saturates, sugar, salt, and protein per item — is published on the official Greggs website at greggs.com under the “Nutrition & Allergy” section. Our Calorie Counting and Nutrition & Dietary pages on this site also list calorie figures for every item on the current menu.

Key Greggs sweet treat calorie counts at a glance:

Belgian Bun (116g) — 374 kcal Yum Yum 2-pack (120g) — 600 kcal Cream Éclair (81g) — 322 kcal Triple Chocolate Muffin — 467 kcal Caramel Shortbread (62g) — 293 kcal

Greggs is transparent about its nutrition and has made efforts to improve the health credentials of its menu — including introducing salads, yoghurt pots, fruit pots, and gluten-free porridge. However, many of the most popular items (sausage rolls, bakes, doughnuts) are relatively high in fat, saturates, and salt.

For a balanced approach: the porridge pots, overnight oats, fruit pots, and the plain Americano are genuinely nutritious choices. The savoury bakes and sweet treats are best enjoyed as occasional treats within a balanced diet.

Greggs has significantly expanded its plant-based range. Current vegan options include:

Vegan Sausage Roll Vegan Steak Bake Vegan Sausage Breakfast Roll All three porridge pots Fruit pots Overnight Oats Various cold drinks

Note that the All Butter Croissant and Pain au Chocolat contain butter and eggs and are therefore not vegan, though they are vegetarian. Always check in-store as seasonal and limited-edition vegan items are added throughout the year.

The Greggs Vegan Sausage Roll (101g / 302 kcal) uses Quorn™ mycoprotein sausages encased in vegan puff pastry. It is made without any meat, dairy, or egg products. It costs £1.25 at standard locations — the same price as the original in 2026.

It contains Barley, Soya, and Wheat, so it is not suitable for those with gluten or soya allergies.

Greggs is not halal-certified and does not offer halal meat products on its standard menu. The sausage rolls, bacon rolls, and meat bakes all use non-halal pork and beef.

Muslim customers can safely enjoy the vegan range (Vegan Sausage Roll, Vegan Steak Bake, Vegan Breakfast Roll), all porridge options, fruit pots, pastries (check ingredients), and all hot and cold drinks. These contain no meat and no alcohol-based ingredients.

In addition to all vegan items, Greggs offers these vegetarian (but not vegan) options:

Cheese & Onion Bake Omelette Breakfast Roll Omelette Breakfast Baguette All Butter Croissant Pain au Chocolat Free Range Egg Mayo Sandwich Pesto & Mozzarella Pasta Pot Feta & Tomato Pasta All doughnuts and sweet treats

Several Greggs items are naturally dairy-free, including the Vegan Sausage Roll, Vegan Steak Bake, classic Sausage Roll (the pastry does not contain milk), fruit pots, and black coffee options. However, Greggs cannot guarantee against cross-contamination due to the shared production environment.

Milk is a declared allergen in many items including the porridge range, croissants, pain au chocolat, and all coffee-based drinks made with standard milk. Oat or soy milk alternatives are sometimes available — ask in-store.

Dairy-free milk alternatives (such as oat milk) are available in some Greggs locations as an optional upgrade, though this is not universally rolled out across all stores. Availability varies by branch. Ask at the counter, as individual shops have discretion over their milk alternative offerings.

Yes. Greggs is available on Uber Eats and Just Eat for home delivery from participating stores. Deliveroo availability is limited. Not all Greggs locations offer delivery — it is most commonly available in major cities and towns.

You can also order for Click + Collect via the Greggs official website (greggs.com) or the Greggs app, which lets you pick a collection slot and skip the queue. This is free and has no delivery charges.

Best value: Click + Collect via the Greggs app avoids the delivery service charge and is often faster in busy city locations.

The Greggs app (available on iOS and Android) is highly recommended for regular customers. Key benefits include:

Click + Collect ordering Rewards (free coffee & snacks after purchases) Exclusive app-only deals Student discounts Birthday treat (free item) Store finder with live menu

The loyalty scheme awards a free item for every several qualifying purchases, making it genuinely worthwhile for daily or regular visitors.

Most Greggs branches open at 6:30 AM and close between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, depending on location. City-centre and transport-hub branches often open earlier (some as early as 5:30 AM) and close later. Some locations operate 24-hour drive-thru formats as part of a pilot programme.

Weekend hours are similar to weekday hours in most locations. Bank holiday and Christmas hours vary — always check the Greggs app’s store finder for real-time hours at your nearest branch.

As of 2026, Greggs operates approximately 2,650+ stores across the UK, making it the largest bakery chain in the country. Greggs is targeting 3,000 stores by the end of 2026, opening 140–150 new shops per year. Locations include high streets, retail parks, transport hubs, hospital sites, and university campuses.

Greggs no longer offers traditional sandwich platters. For large group orders (office meetings, events), the best approach is to use the Click + Collect feature via the app or website to pre-order multiple individual items. For very large orders, contact your local branch directly as they may be able to accommodate bulk requests with advance notice.

The Pizza Sharing Boxes (4-slice and 6-slice) are a popular choice for group orders and can be pre-ordered for collection.

Click + Collect is Greggs’ free order-ahead service. The process: open the Greggs app or visit greggs.com → use the store finder to choose your nearest participating location → select a 5–10 minute collection slot → browse the full menu and add items → pay within the app → walk in at your chosen time and collect a freshly prepared order without queuing.

Not all Greggs locations support Click + Collect. Check the app’s store finder — participating stores are clearly labelled.

The Greggs Lunch Meal Deal bundles a main item (sandwich, baguette, savoury bake, or salad) with a snack and a drink at a combined price that offers a saving versus buying separately. The exact combination and price varies but typically starts from around £3.50–£4.25 depending on the items chosen.

Available from 11 AM daily. Best accessed and verified through the Greggs app, which shows current deal pricing by location.

Students can access exclusive Greggs deals through the Greggs app. After downloading the app, navigate to the deals section and verify your student status (typically via a student email address or through a student platform). The discount provides access to wallet rewards and special offers not available to the general public.

Through the “Free Greggs” loyalty programme in the app, customers earn a stamp for each qualifying purchase. After a set number of purchases, a free item (typically a coffee or snack) is unlocked. The reward resets and the cycle repeats, making it excellent value for frequent visitors.

Purchases must be made via the app (scan at checkout or use Click + Collect) to count toward the reward.

Yes. Greggs participates in the Too Good To Go app, offering “magic bags” of unsold fresh bakery items at a fraction of the original price — typically around £2.99 for items worth £8–10. Bags are available for collection near closing time and the contents are a surprise selection of whatever remains unsold that day.

This is one of the best-value ways to enjoy Greggs food while supporting food-waste reduction. Check the Too Good To Go app for participating stores near you.

Yes! The Greggs app offers a Birthday Treat — a free bakery item added to your app account during your birthday month. You need to have your date of birth registered in the app before your birthday to receive the treat. Claim it in-store or via Click + Collect during your birthday month.

Full allergen information for all 14 major UK allergens (including wheat/gluten, milk, eggs, soya, nuts, sesame, celery, mustard, lupin, molluscs, fish, crustaceans, peanuts, and sulphites) is available on the official Greggs website at greggs.com/nutrition-and-allergy.

In-store, allergen information must also be made available on request — ask a member of staff before ordering if you have an allergy. Our Allergen Information section on this site also provides a summary of key allergens per category.

Important: Recipes and suppliers can change. Always verify allergen information directly with Greggs before ordering if you have a severe allergy.

Most Greggs core products do not contain nuts as a declared ingredient. However, Greggs central bakeries produce a wide range of products on shared equipment and in shared environments, meaning cross-contamination with nuts cannot be guaranteed. Anyone with a severe nut allergy (including peanut allergy) should consult the Greggs allergen guide and speak to staff before ordering.

Yes. The Greggs Sausage Roll contains Wheat (from the puff pastry) and Soya (in the sausage meat). It is not suitable for those with a wheat, gluten, or soya allergy or intolerance. The same applies to the Vegan Sausage Roll, which contains Barley, Soya, and Wheat.

Many of Greggs’ core savoury items — including the Sausage Roll, Vegan Sausage Roll, Steak Bake, and Chicken Bake — do not list egg as a declared ingredient. The breakfast porridge range and fruit pots are also egg-free. However, items like croissants, pain au chocolat, and anything containing omelette or egg naturally contain eggs. Always verify the full allergen declaration on the Greggs website before ordering.

Greggs’ breakfast rolls use a white corn-top roll which does not contain sesame as a declared ingredient. However, sesame is one of the 14 major UK allergens and cross-contamination is possible in a shared bakery environment. Customers with a sesame allergy should always confirm with staff and review the current allergen guide at greggs.com before ordering.

Greggs was founded in 1939 in Newcastle upon Tyne by John Gregg, who began as a Tyneside bakery delivering yeast and eggs by bicycle. The company gradually expanded across the north east of England through the 1950s and 60s, opening its first retail shop in 1951. Today Greggs is a publicly listed company (LSE: GRG) and the UK’s largest bakery chain.

Greggs operates a selective partnership/franchise model for non-traditional locations such as motorway services, airports, hospitals, and university campuses. These are not traditional franchise opportunities open to the general public — Greggs typically approaches partners for specific high-footfall venues.

Standard high-street Greggs shops are company-owned, not franchised. For more details on the franchise and operations model, see our Franchise & Operations section on this website.

Greggs uses a “hub and spoke” model. Products are prepared, portioned, and frozen at large centralised manufacturing facilities (the hubs). Individual retail shops (the spokes) then receive these frozen products and bake them off in-store using commercial convection ovens. This is why Greggs can maintain perfectly consistent quality across 2,600+ locations.

When staff say something is “baked fresh today,” this is accurate — it was baked from frozen that morning on-site. The original dough-making and shaping, however, takes place at the central bakery, not in the shop.
