2025Updated 15:15, 20 May 2025 Greggs has unveiled its new summer menu, but not everyone is pleased with the seasonal options. The bakery chain has added 16 new items, including two drinks:

a caramelised biscuit latte and an iced caramelised biscuit latte. Additionally, a chicken, sweetcorn and red onion pizza and a red pepper, feta and spinach bake have been added to the menu.

For desserts, customers can now order a lemon meringue muffin or a fat-free Greek-style yoghurt with strawberry compote. Announcing the summer menu on Instagram, Greggs wrote at the time:

"Babe wake up, Greggs summer menu just dropped! Available now." In a statement, the company added: "Brighter mornings and warmer evenings aren't the only thing to look

forward to. "Now, your Greggs trips are getting a face lift with even more delicious goodies hitting our shelves for a moment in the sun. From a new veggie-friendly bake to a zesty

muffin topped with meringue pieces – it's time to start summer early with a fresh menu full of flavour. "Because let's be honest, the only way to fill this gap between seasons

is with shelves stacked with snacks to make you salivate. "It's always: 'summer soundtrack' this and 'summer wardrobe' that. But why aren't we talking

about the fact that sunnier days are incomplete without delicious food." After the announcement on Instagram about their summer offerings, food enthusiasts quickly pointed out the lack

of vegan options. Article continues below One user commented: "You could have made that spinach one vegan so easily and it would have slapped." READ MORE: You're using dry

too." While another added to the chorus, saying: "Loving all the vegan comments! Greggs what happened to you clearly - it's in demand." Further disappointment was voiced

by another user who said: "No vegan options and no plant-based milk. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. One more added: " Someone else urged: "Greggs

please, my vegan sausage rolls and stake bakes need another bestie." The conversation continued with a plea for more vegan choices, as someone else wrote: "Seriously though, how

hard would some plant-based milk and a new vegan option or two be?". A final comment highlighted the change in the range, as another person said: "Literally used to have the best

vegan range now there's literally just the vegan sausage roll. You had so many options for us built up a whole clientele around it and then just stopped catering to them any more."

They concluded with a critique of the business strategy: "It's clearly evident by these comments that they're feeling the loss. Poor business model if you think about

it." Article continues below On their standard menu, vegans can still select from items such as the vegan sausage roll, southern fries potato wedges, glazed ring doughnuts, vegan

sausage breakfast roll, and sweet potato bhaji and rice. Greggs has been approached for a comment.
