Pease pudding is usually spread thickly on the bottom half, with the ham piled straight on top of it.
What is a Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie, exactly?
If you didn’t grow up in the North East, this combination probably needs a bit of explaining, so let’s start from the bottom up.
A stottie (or stottie cake) is a flat, round, dense white loaf that’s a proper Newcastle institution. It’s roughly 20cm across and about 2.5cm deep, with a soft, doughy bite that’s nothing like a normal bread roll. The name comes from the Geordie word “stot”, meaning to bounce — legend has it a good one should bounce if you drop it, though I wouldn’t recommend testing that theory with your lunch.
Pease pudding is the other half of the equation. It’s made by simmering yellow split peas, traditionally in the same pot as a ham joint, then mashing the lot into a soft, savoury paste. Plenty of people call it “Geordie hummus”, and that’s not far off — it’s mild, faintly salty, and made for spreading thickly.
Put the two together with a few slices of ham inside a split stottie, and you’ve got one of the most recognisable sandwiches ever to come out of a Northern bakery. It’s cheap, filling, and rooted in genuine working-class cooking — pease pudding was traditionally the kind of thing that made a single ham joint stretch across a whole week of dinners.

Is it still on the Greggs menu in 2026?
Here’s the bit that catches most people out: no, you can’t actually buy a Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie in a Greggs shop any more.
It’s had a bumpy history. Greggs first pulled it from shelves back in 2013, and only brought it back after a public campaign — a Newcastle man told his local paper his world had fallen apart when it vanished, and Greggs relented on the condition that people bought enough of them to keep it worthwhile. That didn’t quite happen, and the sandwich disappeared again a few years later.
When a journalist asked Greggs about it directly, the company confirmed the stottie “hadn’t been available in shops for over seven years”, while pointing out it still offers plenty of other sandwiches. Separately, Greggs’ own corporate FAQ explains that regional breads like this stay regional because, in the company’s words, “there wasn’t enough demand” when it tried selling stotties elsewhere in the UK.
Greggs quietly drops the ham & pease pudding stottie from North East shops for the first time.
A customer campaign convinces Greggs to bring it back, on the understanding that shoppers keep buying it.
Sales don’t hold up, and the filling is removed from shops again — this time for good.
Greggs confirms to press that it’s been off the shelves for “over seven years”.
Still discontinued at Greggs — but the stottie itself lives on, and independent bakers keep the original filling going.
The good news, if you can call it that, is Greggs hasn’t abandoned the stottie itself. Branches across the North East — Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields, Durham and the surrounding area — still sell them fresh every day, just filled with other things.
| Filling | Still sold? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cheese savoury | ✔ Yes | Greggs’ own long-running flagship stottie filling |
| Tuna crunch | ✔ Commonly reported | Availability varies by branch and day |
| Bacon & egg | ✔ Commonly reported | Mostly a morning item |
| Roast chicken mayo | ✔ Commonly reported | Availability varies by branch |
| Ham & pease pudding | ✘ Discontinued | Off the shelves at Greggs since around 2016 |
Cheese savoury is the filling Greggs itself points to most often; the others are what North East customers most commonly report seeing, and can vary shop to shop.

How many calories are in a Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie?
Because Greggs stopped selling it before the company started publishing a full nutrition panel online for every product, there’s no current “official” figure sitting on greggs.com. What we do have is the data logged by nutrition-tracking apps while it was still on sale, and the numbers are consistent enough across sources to trust as the best available estimate.
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Energy | 294 kcal |
| Fat | 3g |
| Carbohydrate | 47g |
| Protein | 18g |
Figures as recorded in nutrition-tracking databases while the product was sold. Greggs no longer publishes an official panel for this discontinued item.
Gold bar = the ham & pease pudding stottie (historic figure). All others are current Greggs figures, for comparison.
- Carbohydrate — 47g (~65% of calories)
- Protein — 18g (~25% of calories)
- Fat — 3g (~10% of calories)
The thing that jumps out is the fat content. At just 3g, the ham & pease pudding filling was genuinely one of the leaner options on the Greggs stottie counter — pease pudding is naturally low in fat, and a straightforward slice of ham doesn’t add much either. Compare that with the cheese & onion stottie, which leans on cheese and mayonnaise, and you can see why the pease pudding version was, calorie for calorie, one of the better choices if you were watching what you ate.

What does a Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie cost?
Nobody kept a perfectly documented price history for a sandwich that’s been off the shelves for the best part of a decade. From old reviews and forum posts at the time, it’s remembered as sitting at the cheaper end of the Greggs range — generally described as “under two pounds” for a proper, filling lunch.
If it were still on the menu today, it would likely sit in a similar bracket to Greggs’ other stotties, which the North East’s independent food writers currently estimate at somewhere around £2 to £3.90 depending on the branch and filling. Here’s how that compares with what it actually costs to get your hands on the real thing today, one way or another.
Big River Bakery’s price includes UK-wide postage on a box of four sandwiches — see the stockists section below for the full breakdown.
Check out Greggs Sandwiches and Salad Menu This is really the question most people searching for this sandwich actually want answered, so let’s get straight into it. Worth flagging too: Newcastle’s Grainger Market, along with independent bakeries, delis and butchers across Tyneside, Wearside and County Durham, regularly sell both stotties and pease pudding separately. If you’re visiting the region, it’s worth asking locally — this is still very much a living tradition, not a museum piece. Greggs has confirmed stotties stay regional because demand elsewhere in the UK hasn’t been high enough to justify a wider rollout. Check out Greggs Christmas Menu 2026 Honestly, this might be your easiest option if you don’t live anywhere near the North East. It’s a properly simple thing to put together. That’s most of the way to the real thing for well under £2 a portion, and closer to the original than most people expect from something this simple. Check out Greggs Yum Yum calories No. Greggs discontinued the Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie some years ago and has confirmed it hasn’t been sold in shops for over seven years. Greggs branches in the North East still sell stotties with other fillings, such as cheese savoury, and independent bakeries like Big River Bakery in Newcastle still make the classic ham and pease pudding version. Based on nutrition data recorded while it was sold, a Greggs Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie contained around 294 calories per sandwich, with roughly 47g of carbohydrate, 3g of fat and 18g of protein. That makes it noticeably lower in fat than most other Greggs stottie fillings, such as cheese and onion. You won’t find it at Greggs any more, but Big River Bakery in Newcastle sells a fresh version in-store and posts them across the UK. You can also buy Dicksons Ham & Pease Pudding Slices or plain pease pudding tubs at ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Iceland, and make your own at home with a soft bread roll or stottie.

Where can I buy a ham and pease pudding stottie today?
I’ll be honest, part of me hopes Greggs eventually brings this one back properly instead of leaving it to independent bakers to keep the tradition alive on their own. Until that happens, at least you know exactly where you stand — and exactly where to go for the real thing.
