Greggs has revealed the much-anticipated comeback of its Festive Bake, with eager fans set to enjoy it very soon. The bakery chain has officially announced that its holiday menu will hit stores on Thursday, November 6. For those unfamiliar, the Festive Bake is a delectable treat filled with chicken, sage and onion stuffing, bacon, and topped with a luscious sage and cranberry sauce.
Described by Greggs as an essential part of the Christmas season, the Festive Bake is a must-have that signals the start of the festive period. Alongside this classic favorite, the Vegan Lattice (Festive Edition) will also make a return nationwide. This vegan option features Quorn mycoprotein pieces, sage and onion stuffing, vegan bacon, and a finishing touch of cranberry and red onion sauce.
Additionally, the menu will include the Hot Christmas Lunch Baguette, offering a portable Christmas dinner experience with chicken, sage and onion stuffing, bacon, melted cheddar, cranberry relish, and onion gravy. The Hot Festive Flatbread, featuring sage and onion chicken mayo, bacon, and cranberry relish in a warm flatbread, will also be back for the festive season.
For those craving something sweet, a variety of festive treats will soon be available, including the Christmas Cake Slice, Gingerbread Muffin, Chocolate & Hazelnut Doughnut, and Christmas Mini Caramel Shortbreads. Greggs will also introduce a selection of festive hot drinks to keep customers warm, such as the Mint Mocha, Mint Hot Chocolate, Gingerbread Latte, and Salted Caramel Latte, with the latter two available iced as well.
In other news, Greggs has adjusted prices on some menu items due to increased costs. The price of the two-part breakfast deal, consisting of a roll and drink, has risen from £2.95 to £3.15, while the three-part breakfast deal, including a side dish like a yoghurt pot or hash browns, now costs £4.15, up from £3.95. Furthermore, certain baked goods like the empire biscuit have seen a 5p price increase, following a previous 5p rise in the sausage roll cost to £1.30 earlier this year.
