Greggs brings back fan favourite after outcry from devastated fans

Greggs has announced the return of the fan favourite after customers begged for it to return.

The vegan steak bake is back in stores and it has a new name. Say hello (again) to the vegan lattice (steak-free). The popular bake has been discontinued twice before - once in 2021, then again in 2024 - much to the disappointment of customers.

Writing to Greggs on social media, one person previously wrote: "Every day I mourn the Greggs vegan steak bake." Another said: "Still missing the vegan steak bake from Greggs"

Greggs says the vegan lattice has "the same great quality, great tasting puff pastry" just with a new name, and is priced at £2.10.

If you've never tried one before, it is made of Greggs’ signature golden puff pastry with Quorn mycoprotein pieces and diced onions, along with vegan-friendly rich and savoury gravy.

Greggs fans have been delighted by the news of its return, with one person saying: "BLESS U FOR BRINGING BACK THE VEGAN STEAK BAKE."

It comes after Greggs and KFC teamed up to create the “culinary crossover of the century” in the form of a Greggs sausage roll drenched in KFC gravy.

The foodie collaboration consisted of a sharing bucket containing six Greggs sausage rolls and a large tub of KFC gravy. It was priced at £10.

But sadly, the iconic duo was only was available for a limited time as part of a three-day tour which took place in London on August 7, then Manchester on August 8 and Newcastle on August 9. It also appeared on Uber Eats on August 15 and August 16.

KFC brand manager Phoebe Syms said: “At KFC, we bleed gravy. We go to obsessive lengths for our liquid gold, and so do our fans.

“In fact, it was them who inspired this once-in-a-lifetime event, calling for us to partner with Greggs and unite our iconic gravy with their iconic sausage rolls.

Fiona Mills, brand communications lead at Greggs, said: “With 96 layers of light puff pastry, and perfectly baked to give that satisfying golden crisp and flaky goodness, we’ve always known our sausage rolls are a true British icon. And why not pair one icon with another?“

Greggs recently revealed a slump in profits as it was knocked by hot weather and shoppers spending less cash. Its pre-tax profits fell by 14.3% to £63.5 million for the half-year to June 28, compared with a year earlier.

It said the first half of 2025 was impacted by “challenging market footfall, more weather disruption than in 2024” and increased costs.
