We’re all pretty familiar with Greggs treats like the steak bake and the sausage roll (vegan or otherwise).

But it turns out Greggs has a range of regional menus with 25 items that only appear in certain areas.

The secret menu doesn’t appear online and the items are not publicised on any of the bakery’s social media.

Among the 25 specials include stotties – flat loaves with an indent in the middle – that are only on sale in the North East.


Equally Peach Melbas – an ice cream dessert, encased in pastry and filled with cream – are available just in that region.



But Tottenham Cakes – a light sponge traybake covered with raspberry and coconut icing – can only be found in Greggs’ south eastern eateries.

In Scotland, you can get Empire Biscuits – two pieces of shortbread sandwiched together with jam and covered in icing, topped with a glace cherry.

So if you notice your favourite is missing when you move elsewhere, don’t worry – it will still be available when you head back.

A Greggs spokesman said: ‘Historically our regional bakeries had responsibility for making their own products which resulted in some local Greggs delicacies.

‘Some of these were so popular that as the business has grown, we are still selling them today.

‘Our product range reflects the preference of our customers.

‘So sometimes a small percentage of the products in your local shop will be unique to your area and will be decided on to reflect local tastes and demand.’

This calls for one thing – a Greggs road trip.
