Greggs Autumn Menu 2026

I’d stopped expecting the Steak & Stilton to come back, if I’m honest. It’s been off the menu for around seven years, and every time someone asked about it online, nothing happened. Then Greggs announced it in August and the replies went a bit feral. Fair enough, really.

The autumn range went live on Thursday 3 September 2026, so it’s been on the counter a fortnight or so now. Eleven things in total — some genuinely new, some returning. I’ve pulled together every price and calorie count below, cross-checked against the trade coverage rather than guessed at, plus the bit most write-ups skip entirely: what each item costs depending on which type of Greggs you walk into. A Steak & Stilton at Gatwick is not a Steak & Stilton in Gateshead, price-wise.

🥩 The Steak & Stilton Bake: the one everyone actually wanted

This is the headline and Greggs knows it. The new bake is diced beef in a rich gravy with blue Stilton and grilled onions, wrapped in glazed puff pastry and finished with a black pepper crumb on top. It’s £2.50 and 465 calories.

Two things worth flagging. First, that black pepper crumb is new — this isn’t the old recipe reheated, it’s been rebuilt as a bake rather than the pastie some people remember. Second, at 465 calories it sits meaningfully above a standard Steak Bake, which makes sense given the cheese. If you’ve been picturing a straight swap for your usual, it’s a slightly heavier lunch than you’re used to.

Greggs says it developed the product in response to years of customer requests. That’s the sort of line brands trot out all the time — except here the receipts are all over social media going back the best part of a decade.

🌶️ The buffalo chicken two: baguette and pizza slice

Buffalo sauce is having a proper moment on the UK high street, and Greggs has gone in with two items rather than one.

The pizza slice is the one to be aware of. At 673 calories a slice it’s the single biggest item on the entire autumn menu, comfortably ahead of the Steak & Stilton. That’s roughly a third of the daily intake the NHS uses as a rough guide for an average adult woman, in one slice, before you’ve added a drink. Not a reason to avoid it — just worth going in with your eyes open. The rest of the range sits in our Greggs pizza menu guide.

On heat: “buffalo-style” here means tangy rather than punishing. If you’ve had the Firecracker range you’ll find this noticeably milder. It’s more vinegar-and-butter than chilli burn.

🧀 Chicken & Pepperoni Toastie

Chicken in a pizza-style sauce with mature Cheddar and pepperoni, between slices of sourdough-style white bread, then topped with béchamel and grated mixed cheese and baked in shop. From £3.80, 572 calories.

It’s essentially a pizza that’s decided to be a sandwich. The béchamel on the outside is the interesting bit — that’s what gives you the browned, slightly crisp top rather than a flat grilled finish. This is what I’d point at if you want something hot and filling on a cold day and the bakes feel too small for the job.

☕ Pumpkin spice is back — plus three new iced drinks

The Pumpkin Spice Latte returns from £2.85 (214 kcal), and this year it’s finished with a salted caramel drizzle over the cream. Same base as before: freshly ground Fairtrade coffee, semi-skimmed milk, pumpkin spice flavour syrup.

The Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is back too, from £3.35 (190 kcal) — and yes, the iced one is fewer calories than the hot one, which catches people out every single year. Less milk, more ice.

Alongside those, three new chilled drinks have joined the permanent range rather than the seasonal one:

To see how the autumn drinks sit against the rest of the range, the full list with prices is in the Greggs coffee menu prices 2026 guide.

🧁 Bonfire Toffee Muffin and the Pumpkin Spice Doughnut

The Bonfire Toffee Muffin is the genuinely new sweet item: toffee pieces through the sponge, a burnt-toffee-flavoured filling in the middle, then chocolate and salted caramel flavour icing on top with a toffee butter crunch. From £1.65, 363 calories.

Naming it after bonfire toffee is a nice touch. That dark, slightly bitter treacle flavour is a proper British autumn reference rather than an imported American one, and the burnt note in the filling does actually land.

The Pumpkin Spice Doughnut is back as well, from £1.50 (310 kcal), with spiced pumpkin flavour filling, icing and a sugar pearl on top. At £1.50 it’s the cheapest thing on the autumn range and the easiest way to try the season without committing to a £4.10 baguette. More options in the Greggs doughnuts price guide and the wider sweet treats menu.

📊 The full autumn 2026 line-up at a glance

Every item, with the standard high-street price Greggs publishes and the official calorie figure. All eleven landed on the same day.

Table 1 — Greggs autumn menu 2026: all eleven new and returning items. Prices are the standard high-street “from” figures published at launch; calories are the official per-item figures. Multipack pizza boxes are priced separately: two slices £5.75, four from £8.95, six from £10.95.

💷 What you’ll actually pay, by store type

Here’s the bit nearly every other autumn menu write-up leaves out. Greggs runs three separate price tiers, and which one you get depends on the shop’s rent and running costs rather than what part of the country you’re standing in.

• Standard — most high-street, retail-park and residential shops. These are the prices Greggs quotes publicly, and the ones in Table 1.
• City & London — central London plus city-centre branches in places like Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Edinburgh. Typically 11–19% above standard.
• Franchise & airport — airports, motorway services and some railway stations, run by partners such as SSP and Moto under a separate agreement. Commonly around a third more, sometimes higher.

Table 2 — Standard prices are the confirmed launch figures. The City/London and Franchise/airport columns are estimates, marked with a tilde, calculated by applying the tier differentials Greggs’ pricing structure is known to use (roughly +13% and +33%) and rounding to the nearest 5p. Individual branches vary — always check the board. Eating in adds 20% VAT on top of every figure shown.

🔥 Calorie comparison: how the autumn range stacks up

Laid out side by side, the spread is wider than you’d think. The savoury items cluster at the heavy end, the drinks sit surprisingly low, and there’s one clear outlier.

Chart 1 — Official calorie figures per item as published at launch. Drinks are for the standard serve size.

Three things jump out. The Buffalo Pizza Slice at 673 kcal is more than four times the Iced Chocolate and 208 calories heavier than the Steak & Stilton — and it’s the item most likely to be bought as a casual add-on rather than a main lunch. The drinks are all under 220, which makes the Pumpkin Spice Latte a far less alarming order than its reputation suggests. And the Bonfire Toffee Muffin at 363 is heavier than the doughnut by a decent margin, despite feeling like the lighter of the two.

If you want the whole menu rather than just autumn, there’s a complete breakdown in the Greggs calories full menu guide, and the calorie & price calculator lets you total up a real order.

⚖️ Syns, points and tracking the autumn menu

A fair few people ask about this every time a seasonal range lands, so here’s the honest position rather than a table of invented numbers.

Slimming World doesn’t publish official Syn values for high-street chains like Greggs. Every figure you’ll find online — ours included — is a community estimate worked out from published calorie data using the rough 20 kcal ≈ 1 Syn approximation. It’s a reasonable guide for items with no free-food component, and it’s what most members fall back on when the app hasn’t got an exact match. It is not an official number, and you shouldn’t treat it as one.

Table 3 — Unofficial Syn estimates only, calculated as calories ÷ 20 and rounded to the nearest half. Slimming World’s own values account for fat, carbohydrate and protein content rather than calories alone, so check the official app for anything you’re tracking seriously.

If you’re after the autumn flavours but not the calories, there isn’t a light option in this range — it’s all fairly indulgent by design. The nearest thing is an Iced Chocolate at 161 kcal. Otherwise, browse Greggs items under 400 calories and build the rest of your order around one seasonal treat.

🗓️ What’s coming next — and when autumn bows out

Greggs doesn’t run autumn as one single block. It comes in stages, and knowing the pattern helps if you’re waiting on something specific.

1. Thursday 3 September 2026 — done

   The main autumn drop

   All eleven items covered above, nationwide — bar the iced drinks, which need a shop with an ice machine.

2. Mid-October, expected

   The Halloween sweet treats

   A separate, smaller drop that usually lands closer to the day itself — historically a pumpkin-shaped chocolate biscuit and a fondant-iced Spooky Bun, sold singly and in packs. Not confirmed for 2026 yet. See our Greggs Halloween menu 2026 page.

3. Friday 6 November 2026 — confirmed

   Festive Bake returns, autumn starts winding down

   The Festive Bake and the Vegan Lattice (Festive Edition) land nationwide. Realistically that’s when counter space starts shifting away from the autumn range, so treat early November as your deadline for anything you still want to try. Full details in the Festive Bake 2026 guide and the Christmas menu 2026.

Worth remembering too that seasonal items don’t always come back. Plenty have quietly vanished over the years — we’ve catalogued them in Greggs menu items that vanished.

💡 How to pay less for the autumn menu

None of these are complicated, but stacked together they knock a fair bit off.

• New to the app? Your first drink is free. Registering on the Greggs App gets you a free drink of your choice — which covers a £2.85 Pumpkin Spice Latte outright, or the £3.45 Iced Caramel Chocolate if you want to push it.
• Nine stamps, one free item. Greggs Rewards gives you a free item after nine qualifying purchases within selected categories. If you’re buying a seasonal coffee most mornings, that’s roughly one free every fortnight.
• Take away rather than eat in. Eating in adds 20% VAT. On a £7 order that’s £1.40 for the privilege of a chair.
• Use Click + Collect, not delivery. The autumn range is on Just Eat and Uber Eats, but both apply an uplift to menu prices before their fees even start. Click + Collect through the app is at shop prices. Our delivery app comparison has the numbers.
• Walk out of the terminal if you can. Covered above, but it’s the single biggest saving available here — roughly a third off.
• Check the deals before you commit. Seasonal items don’t always qualify for meal deals, and speciality drinks usually carry a surcharge. Worth a look at the current meal deals and discounts first.

⭐ My honest verdict on Greggs autumn 2026

This is a stronger seasonal range than last year, mostly because it isn’t relying on pumpkin spice alone to carry it. The summer menu leaned hard into salads and lighter pots; autumn has swung fully back to comfort food, and that’s the right call from September onwards.

The Steak & Stilton Bake is the reason to go. It’s £2.50, it’s genuinely different from anything else on the shelf, and the black pepper crumb gives it a bit of edge. If you only try one thing, make it that.

The Bonfire Toffee Muffin is the sleeper. It’s had a fraction of the attention the bake has, but that burnt-toffee filling is more interesting than the usual seasonal sponge, and £1.65 is fair for what you get.

The Buffalo Chicken Baguette is the one I’d think twice about. At £4.10 it’s the dearest item here, and you’re paying baguette money for what’s essentially a mayo-based filling. The Buffalo Pizza Slice gets you the same flavour for £2.70 — just be aware of those 673 calories.

And the Pumpkin Spice Latte? The salted caramel drizzle is a small change, but it works: it cuts through the sweetness of the syrup rather than piling more on top. At 214 calories it’s also far less of an event than people assume. Get one in before the Festive Bake takes over the counter in November.
