'Close the front door' shout Greggs fans as bakery rolls out 'unreal' new burgers
GREGGS fans buzz after the pastry chef has announced that it is launching new burgers and wraps.
The Newcastle-based chain has added five items to its menu, some of which have never been on the menu before.
The new and improved recipes include a mayo-crispy chicken burger, which combines crispy chicken breast with iceberg lettuce and creamy mayonnaise.
Greggs customers can buy the 569 calorie burger from £3.90.
Meanwhile, the mayo chicken wrap is making a comeback, with a combination of southern fried chicken goujons, mixed leaf salad, cucumber and a dollop of creamy mayonnaise, clocking in at 538 calories and starting at £3.70.
Fans can also try the new hot and spicy wrap, filled with chipotle chili sauce, mixed peppers, jalapeños and chipotle chili mayonnaise.
The sweet chili wrap is a milder offering and contains southern fried chicken goujons, sweet chili sauce, salad, cucumber and mayonnaise.
Also included is the new and improved spicy crispy chicken burger, made from juicy chicken fillet in a crispy layer, with iceberg lettuce, chipotle mayonnaise and jalapeño peppers.
For the 569 burger you pay £3.90.
The new hot menu items can be paired with southern fried potato wedges or a salad and any cold drink starting at $4.95.
Greggs is yet to confirm how long all items will be on the menu and whether they will be rolled out nationally.
Foodies can only pick them up from 10 branches in the North East. They are as follows:
- Greggs at Primark Northumberland Street, Newcastle

Greggs fans shared their excitement on social media after details of the return and new items were released.
One user wrote on Instagram: “Close the front door!”
Another shouted: “This sounds unreal”
A third said: “No way – this is amazing!”
While a fourth said: “Whaaaat, this looks quite posh for Greggs and I'm here for it!”
Earlier this month, Greggs revealed it had brought back two cinnamon drinks last seen in March 2023.
Fans can buy the returning 124 calorie cinnamon flat white from £2.50 nationwide.
The drink comes with a double espresso shot combined with steamed and lightly frothed milk and a dash of cinnamon syrup.
Meanwhile, the cinnamon swirl latte, which contains 226 calories, is back on the menu for £2.50, combining coffee with milk, cinnamon syrup and cinnamon powder on top.
Both returning drinks are available at all Greggs branches.
Caffeine addicts can also get two new items from the menus.
Fans can grab a new iced cinnamon latte, which contains 160 calories, from £3, and a new cinnamon muffin from £2.95.
It's worth noting that the iced latte is only available in 22 branches, including London, Bristol and Leeds.
Shoppers can pick up the iced latte at Greggs at Primark on Oxford Street, London, Greggs at Primark in Birmingham and at Fort Shopping Park in Birmingham.
The drink is also available at the London Gatwick Airport and Bridge Street, Worksop location.
How to save money with Greggs
Every now and then, Greggs will offer freebies and limited-time rewards for customers, especially if there are new products that customers need to sample.
At Greggs you can get a FREE treat on your birthday, so it's worth heading to the high street if you're finishing another lap around the sun and looking for something sweet.
For example, you may decide to go for a donut, which would normally cost you around 95 cents.
However, you must have signed up for the rewards app.
It's a free app and once you enter your birthday, you will receive a voucher on the day that you can show in store for one free cupcake, cream cake or donut.
You don't just have to use it on your birthday either, as it's still valid for a month after that – but you can only claim one sweet treat, so when it runs out you'll have to wait until next year.
It's not just IN Greggs that you can buy all your favorite pastries.
Iceland sells Greggs products that you can heat up at home – and you'll often find it's a much cheaper way to get your pastry from the frozen giant.
You can grab a box of four sausage rolls for £3, so it's a little expensive, but you'll still save money compared to buying four separate rolls at Greggs.
At Iceland you can also get other Greggs favourites, such as the popular chicken pastries and biscuits.
If you don't mind heating them in your own oven at home, you can save a lot.
