Greggs vegan sausage roll to launch in all UK stores

Very popular sausage: The infamous vegan sausage roll will soon be available across the country
Ailis Brennan12 February 2019

Greggs has announced that its hugely popular – and somewhat controversial – vegan sausage roll will be available in every single one of its UK stores from next month.

This means that vegans, or just the curious, will now be able to pick up the snack at 1,950 locations across the country, following its wildly successful launch at the beginning of January in 950 stores.

An additional 250 shops a week will start selling the animal product-free pastry until Friday March 8, when every Greggs in the country will stock the "sausage" roll for the first time.

For now, keen vegans can keep an eye on whether or not the roll is available in their local store by checking the dedicated online Vegan Sausage Roll Locator.

The vegan roll – which is made with a bespoke Quorn filling and dairy-free puff pastry – became a national talking point on its launch, which coincided with Veganuary.

Celebrities including Piers Morgan and Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby waded into the debate on whether or not it was an necessary addition to the menu, with unsurprisingly no conclusion reached.

The vegan roll launched following a petition by PETA last year to add it to the bakery’s repetoire, which received more than 20,000 signatures.
