Now, over 1750 Greggs shops - of the 2,600 nationwide - will serve the Mac & Cheese. It comes after customers begged for it be a permanent menu staple.
The mouth-watering pasta box sent social media into a "meltdown", states Greggs, following a series of viral videos. Food influencer Carmie Sellitto shared a video which generated over 1.5 million views, with Carmie telling fans: "Wow! I actually ate this so quickly I couldn't take a second to breathe, I was so excited!"
Plus, @lifeofmanraj said it "looks really nice and tastes even better". "It's a perfect balance and cheesiness and creaminess," he added. @vivien.max said she is "obsessed" with it.
Greggs also shared a video of the cheesy treat, which has now been watched over three million times. The official page said: "Baked fresh in shops every day, Greggs' Mac & Cheese consists of delicious pasta smothered in a rich, creamy cheese sauce, topped with a soul-comforting blend of Cheddar and Red Leicester, a crunchy layer of ciabatta breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of parsley to form a divine golden crumb."
In response, one foodie gushed: "I have been influenced, thank you." And another said: "When I thought Greggs couldn't get any better..."

Britain's luckiest towns with the most Postcode Lottery winners revealed – does your area make the list?
NEW research has revealed the UK's luckiest places to play the Postcode Lottery – and one northern town is topping the charts with the most wins per postcode district. Preston (PR), in Lancashire, has been named the luckiest area, with an average of 47.64 wins across its 11 postcode districts. 1 The findings come from a study by Casino Deps, which looked at wins dating from January 2011 to June 2025. Warrington (WA), in Cheshire, came second with 38.63 average wins, followed by the seaside town of Blackpool (FY), also in Lancashire, with 37.38. The rest of the top ten includes Nottingham, Leicester, Bolton, Croydon, Motherwell, Stoke-on-Trent, and Blackburn. At the other end of the scale, Kirkwall (KW) in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, was the least lucky area, with just 3.75 wins per postcode district on average. Western Central London (WC) and the Outer Hebrides (HS) also ranked among the lowest. Amanda Wilson, CMO at Casino Deps, said: 'Lancashire sticks out as the luckiest county in the Postcode Lottery, with Preston, Blackpool and Blackburn all in the top ten. "The North West of England seems to be having the most luck overall.' She added: 'Preston is by far the luckiest, with its average number of wins per postcode district over 23% higher than the second-ranking area. "This could simply be down to more people in Preston being signed up to the Postcode Lottery. More sign-ups mean more chances to win.' The Postcode Lottery is popular across the UK, with cash prizes given out daily and thousands raised for good causes. Postcodes are selected at random, but the latest figures suggest some areas may have a winning edge. Inside the dramatic lives of the biggest EuroMillions winners EVER Residents in previously low-ranking regions have still seen surprise wins, including lucky streets where multiple neighbours bagged thousands each, simply by playing. It's one of the few lotteries where you win alongside people on your own doorstep. The community feel is a big part of the appeal. Unlike traditional lotteries, Postcode Lottery prizes are shared among every player in the winning postcode, which means entire neighbourhoods can celebrate together. And it's not the only chance to bag a fortune this week. Friday's EuroMillions draw is offering a huge £109 million jackpot – and Brits are already dreaming of their lucky numbers coming up. In recent years, winners have gone on to lead extraordinary lives. Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester won £184 million in 2022 and now live in a dream home with their children. Frances and Patrick Connolly from Northern Ireland scooped £115 million in 2019. Remember to gamble responsibly. The Postcode Lottery and EuroMillions are forms of gambling, and you must be 18 or over to take part. Please keep spending within your limits. If you need help or advice, support is available at or by calling the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. The Postcode Lottery sets spending caps and notes that most players win small prizes. However, every entry helps support a wide range of charities, from children's initiatives to environmental projects. Last year alone, players raised over £100 million for good causes, funding everything from community gardens to mental health services. That means even if your postcode doesn't come up, someone still wins in another way. Within months, they'd given away over half to loved ones and charities, saying they just wanted to 'spread the happiness.' Karen, 42, from Wakefield – which came 20th in the ranking – said she nearly missed her win because she forgot she'd signed up. 'I got the letter and thought it was junk mail,' she said. 'When I opened it and saw I'd won £10,000, I burst into tears. "Two of my neighbours won too, so we had a street party with bunting and bubbles!' Of course, experts always remind players to gamble responsibly.

I ate a giant 15-inch sausage roll 10x bigger than Greggs
Well, I have, and it blew my mind. As a northern girl who grew up on Poundbakery and Greenhalgh's creations (to name a few), that's quite a statement. This 'ultimate' sausage roll from Valley Bakery weighs a whopping 1.3kg and is 15 inches long. Pretty impressive compared to the size of a standard sausage roll from Greggs at just 103g. But does it have all the mouth-watering qualities similar to an iconic sausage roll from one of the nation's beloved bakeries, and does it beat it by a hefty sausage-mile? I had to find out. So, what exactly is the 'ultimate' sausage roll made by Valley Bakery? The giant sausage roll has returned for a limited time only to mark Father's Day on Sunday, June 15, via Prestige Hampers. You might have even heard of the Valley Bakery creation as it's been featured on ITV's Good Morning Britain and 'enjoyed' by Piers Morgan, who claimed: 'Now this is what I call a sausage roll.' Is this the biggest sausage roll you have seen? (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) The bakery explains: 'Beautifully handcrafted in the heart of Yorkshire our artisan bakers have handcrafted our famous sausage roll, using the finest British pork from responsibly hand-reared pigs. 'Encased in delicious locally churned all-butter pastry, seasoned with a carefully selected blend of herbs by our pastry experts to create unforgettable flavour in every bite. 'Our bakers follow traditional, small-batch methods, resulting in a carefully curated and delicious gift.' It's been almost a week since it was delivered to my house (which was very well packed with ice bags) and I still can't get over the size of the sausage roll. The giant sausage roll has lovely all-butter pastry (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) I have no idea how one even creates a recipe for such a meaty beast, but it works. The pork inside the well-baked, glorious, buttery, flaky pastry might well be the best I've ever tried – no fat, no gristle and certainly no dripping grease. Just full of flavour with all the usual herbs you would expect in a sausage roll and not overpowering in the slightest. You could certainly tell it was made from the 'finest' pork and I have to admit, it's a league above Greggs'. But that does come with a price, as the 'ultimate' sausage roll will set you back £29.99 (currently on offer). Yet I think it's pretty reasonable because there's no doubt it's the biggest I've ever seen and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into sourcing the quality of the meat. What a perfect gift just in time for Father's Day (Image: Molly Court/Newsquest) Plus, although it's back for Father's Day and would make the perfect gift if the fatherly figure in your life can't resist a pie or sausage roll (and trying new meaty bakes), it could also be ideal for upcoming family gatherings. I gave five people in my family two servings each and there was still enough for double that, if not more.
