GREGGS has announced a huge menu shake -up with new burgers as it tries to take on McDonald's and KFC. The no-frills bakery chain said today it would introduce a new chicken burger and wrap to menus. This includes a new BBQ cripsy chicken burger, which comes with BBQ sauce and mayonnaise in a soft corn top roll for £4. And also a new BBQ wrap, which comes with southern fried goujons for £3.80. Both items are part of the Hot Sandwich Deal, which includes any hot sandwich, wedges or side salad and a drink for £4.95.

Elsewhere, in shops nationwide, Greggs said it would bring back its anticipated Katsu Chicken Bake. This comes with chicken breast in a Japanese-inspired Katsu style curry sauce, wrapped in puff pastry. For those with a sweeter tooth, the Cherry Bakewell Muffin is also back, while the Cinnamon drinks range is returning to the menu including the Cinnamon Swirl Latte and Cinnamon Flat White. The new menu will be available from February 6.

Gregg's, famous for its sausage rolls and steak bakes, has been expanding its menu in recent months. Back in May, its launched a new fish finger sandwich and wrap, which delighted customers. The hot, made to order range is now available in over 150 shops, with plans to double its availability to 300 shops by spring. Greggs is planning to open between 140 and 150 shops this year, adding to its existing 2,618 shops.

The fast-food chain recently sparked shopper fury after hiking the cost of a sausage roll to £1.30. Customers have slammed the bakery chain after it bumped up the price of the popular snack by 5p. Greggs has already hiked the price of its iconic sausage roll seven times since 2016, when the lunchtime staple set customers back just 85p. The last time was in July, when both the meat and vegan versions were increased by 5p.

Sausage roll prices shot up three times in 2022 at the height of the coronavirus pandemic - from £1 at the start of the year to £1.15 by the end.
