Greggs Launches Chicken Roll, Drawing Mixed Reviews

The new pastry offers a non‑pork alternative at the same £1.35 price as a companion to the classic.

Overview

  • Greggs has added a Chicken Roll to shops, filled with seasoned chicken wrapped in glazed puff pastry.
  • A Greggs employee asked Reddit users for feedback and said they preferred it to the sausage roll.
  • Responses on Reddit were split, with some calling it tastier than the original and others finding it bland.
  • Several commenters said it is better warm, and the employee noted that bake quality can vary by shop.
  • Greggs prices the roll at £1.35 and lists 305 calories and 19g of fat, framing it as a co‑star rather than a replacement and a useful non‑pork option.
