Hot Food

When a quick pastry won’t quite cut it, Greggs’ hot food range is where to look — crispy chicken, golden wedges and fresh pizza, all served properly hot.

The Southern Fried Chicken Goujons are one of the standout choices here: £3.50 for 135g and 372 kcal, offering a decent amount of protein for the price. Pair them with the Southern Fried Potato Wedges — £2.00 for 150g and 278 kcal — and you’ve got a satisfying combination for under £6 at a standard store.

For sharing, the 4-Slice Margherita Pizza Sharing Box is excellent value at £6.50, with each 160g slice coming in between 390 and 440 kcal depending on the topping you go for. A 6-slice version is also available at £9.00, which works out cheaper per slice if you’re feeding a small group.

Other popular picks in this section include Spicy BBQ Chicken Bites (125g, 268 kcal, £2.35) and Mozzarella & Cheddar Bites (125g, 312 kcal, £2.35) — both good as a side or a snack to share between two.

As with the rest of the menu, prices increase the further you travel from a standard high street branch. The Southern Fried Chicken Goujons, for instance, rise from £3.50 to £4.20 in city and London stores, and up to £4.90 at airport and motorway locations — a £1.40 difference between the cheapest and most expensive version.

It’s also worth knowing that eating in adds 20% VAT on top of the takeaway prices listed here, so taking your food away is always the cheaper option. Most hot food items sit between 250 and 450 kcal per portion, with pizza being the most variable depending on topping. We review these prices regularly across all three store types to keep this guide accurate.
