Greggs reveals new autumn menu with twist of axed McDonald’s favourite – and fans are buzzing
GREGGS has revealed its new autumn menu including a twist on an axed McDonald’s favourite that’s left fans buzzing.
The bakery chain is introducing five new products across its more than 2,000 UK stores today.
For the first time, fans can pick up a cheese and honey mustard toastie and veg bhaji flatbread.
There’s a spicy bhaji baguette available in both veggie and chicken options too.
But one of the new items has really got fans talking – the mozzarella and cheddar bites.
The new additions have stunned fans left disappointed just days after Maccie’s axed its own version.
Taking to Facebook, one person said: “Moz bites oh my god?!”
Meanwhile, a second said: “Stop it right now,” while a third, tagging a friend, simply said: “MOZZY BITES.”
What’s new on the menu?
Greggs fans can get their hands on six new food items from today.
The cheese and honey mustard toastie combines mature cheddar cheese with honey mustard mayo locked in by two slices of white bread.
It comes in at 488 calories and prices start from £3. You can also get it in a meal deal from £4.80.
Meanwhile, fans can pick up a veg bhaji flatbread for £3.40 or £4.80 as part of a meal deal – the bhaji by itself has 361 calories.
The snack combines bhajis, red onion, mango chutney and tandoori mayo, all packed into a flatbread.
Next, there’s a spicy chicken or veg bhaji baguette with prices starting from £3.70 or £4.80 for a meal deal.
Both come with bhajis, cheddar cheese with chilli and red onion, mango chutney and tandoori mayo.
