Lads, it’s happening (Picture: Greggs)

We reported yesterday that Greggs is expanding its vegan range, but was remaining tight-lipped about which products would be dropping.

Piers Morgan has taken credit for this festive joy, because of course he has.

Since then, new intel suggests that there is definitely going to be a steak bake and other items.

While this remains speculation at the moment, two sources, both saying they work at Greggs, have told us what’s coming.


‘Vegan steak bakes are definitely happening,’ one whistleblower, who wishes to be named only as Greg Greggs, told us.

‘I don’t have photos to confirm this but all employees I’ve spoken to regarding it are aware they’re arriving in the new year, and my manager has shown me stock sheets with “vegan steak bake” written on them, ready for when our deliveries arrive.’



They also claimed new products launch on Thursdays, so predict that the bake would be coming on either 2 January or 9 January.

The second insider who contacted us corroborated the story, identifying themselves as Your Secret Greggs Man, and adding further new vegan products:

‘Releasing 27th December is the new glazed ring doughnut which is now vegan,’ they told us.

‘And our warm winter vegetable soup which is now also vegan.’

The culture at Greggs is certainly changing quickly:

‘We are trained to use different coloured serving equipment (such as tongs, ladles, etc.) for different dietary preferences,’ Greg Greggs tells us.

‘We recently received a yellow ladle amongst our delivery, which we believe is in preparation for a vegan-friendly soup.’

Asking Greggs for its input on the issue, a spokesperson said they’d prefer not to make a comment.

But there have been rumours circulating since earlier in the year that Greggs would be dropping a vegan steak bake.

At the time, Greggs did say that while the particular product wasn’t definite, it may have been in the works.

It does mean customers can get truly acquainted with the idea of an animal-free steak bake.

If it’s anywhere near as popular as the vegan sausage roll, there will likely be queues too, and knowledge is power when you want to beat the crowds.
