Bakery chain Greggs have released their summer menu but not everyone is happy with their new options – with many taking to social media to share their disappointment over the selection
Greggs released its new summer menu last week, and although some are delighted by the new selections, other people have a major complaint over its seasonal options. The bakery chain is serving up 16 new items on the menu including a caramelised biscuit latte and an iced caramelised biscuit latte.
There’s also chicken, sweetcorn and red onion pizza as well as a red pepper, feta and spinach bake. For desserts, customers will now be able to order a lemon meringue muffin or a fat-free Greek style yoghurt with strawberry compote. Announcing their summer menu on Instagram, their caption read: “Babe wake up, Greggs summer menu just dropped!! Available now.”
Providing more detail, a Greggs statement reads: “Brighter mornings and warmer evenings aren’t the only thing to look forward to.
“Now, your Greggs trips are getting a face lift with even more delicious goodies hitting our shelves for a moment in the sun. From a new veggie-friendly bake to a zesty muffin topped with meringue pieces – it’s time to start summer early with a fresh menu full of flavour.
“Because let’s be honest, the only way to fill this gap between seasons is with shelves stacked with snacks to make you salivate.

“It’s always: ‘summer soundtrack’ this and ‘summer wardrobe’ that. But why aren’t we talking about the fact that sunnier days are incomplete without delicious food.”
But after making their announcement on Instagram, foodies couldn’t help but notice there wasn’t anything vegan on their summer offerings. One user said: “You could have made that spinach one vegan so easily and it would have slapped.”
While another user added: “And what about your vegan queens?”
A third user chimed in : “Vegans love a seasonal special too.” While another said: “Loving all the vegan comments! Greggs what happened to you clearly – it’s in demand.”
Someone else fumed: “No vegan options and no plant-based milk. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
While someone else pleaded: “Greggs please, my vegan sausage rolls and stake bakes need another bestie. Seriously though, how hard would some plant-based milk and a new vegan option or two be?”
A final user also concluded: “Literally used to have the best vegan range now there’s literally just the vegan sausage roll. You had so many options for us built up a whole clientele around it and then just stopped catering to them any more.
“It’s clearly evident by these comments that they’re feeling the loss. Poor business model if you think about it.”
On Greggs’ usual menu, vegans can choose from vegan sausage roll, southern fries potato wedges, glazed ring doughnuts, vegan sausage breakfast roll, and sweet potato bhaji and rice.
Greggs have been approached for a comment.
