Greggs axes popular bake from menu and customers are gutted
GREGGS has axed a popular bake from its menu and customers are gutted.
Veggies across the UK have shared their devastation after learning the no-frills bakery chain has stopped selling its Spicy Veg Curry Bake.
The bargain delight, packed with peppers, carrots, chickpeas, potatoes, broccoli sweetcorn and spices, first launched in stores back in November 2023.
It has featured on menus a number of times since then and returned for Veganuary at the start of this year and usually retailed for around £2.10.
Over the past few days, fans have taken to Reddit to find out where the beloved snack has gone.
One customers said: "Does anyone know if the spicy veg bake at Greggs has been stopped?
"My youngest was gutted we couldn't get it last weekend and I don't want to take him in again if they've stopped selling it."
Others were quick to chime in and agree they had noticed it was no longer in stores.
Another fan wrote: "It looks to me like they have discontinued it. It's not listed on their website anymore."

A Greggs spokesperson said: 'The limited-edition Spicy Veg Curry Bake has now come off the menu to make room for our brand-new Red Pepper, Spinach and Feta Bake, which has landed in shops as part of our summer menu."

ECB rate decision live: European Central Bank set to cut interest rates again, markets edge higher
FILE PHOTO: ECB headquarters, Frankfurt, Germany, March 6, 2025. REUTERS/Jana Rodenbusch In April, the ECB cut rates by 25 basis points to 2.25%, the seventh cut in a year, warning that economic growth will take a big hit from U.S. tariffs. The ECB has taken borrowing costs to their lowest level since late 2022, as the sharp post-pandemic inflation spike has largely disappeared and fast-moving changes to trade policies sap business confidence and depress growth. 'Downside risks to economic growth have increased," Lagarde said after policymakers agreed unanimously to cut the ECB's benchmark rate. "The major escalation in global trade tensions and associated uncertainties will likely lower euro area growth by dampening exports, and it may drive down investment and consumption," she said. Lagarde gave away almost nothing about the bank's next moves, insisting policymakers would decide meeting-by-meeting.

London stocks mixed as markets brace for ECB rate decision
June 5 (Reuters) - Britain's benchmark FTSE 100 index edged higher on Thursday, while mid-caps retreated as investors awaited the European Central Bank's interest rate decision. As of 0948 GMT, the blue-chip index FTSE 100 (.FTSE), opens new tab was up 0.2% while the domestically-focussed FTSE 250 (.FTMC), opens new tab fell 0.2%. Shares of Wizz Air (WIZZ.L), opens new tab plunged 25.9%, weighing heavily on the midcap index, after the budget carrier reported an around 62% slide in annual operating profit, citing capacity constraints due to grounded planes. The slump rippled through the travel sector (.FTNMX405010), opens new tab with other airline stocks like easyJet (EZJ.L), opens new tab and ICAG (ICAG.L), opens new tab declining over 1% each. On the flip side, Dr Martens (DOCS.L), opens new tab jumped 23.2% and was the top gainer on the midcap index after the bootmaker announced plans to reduce discounting in key markets, including the U.S., and forecast a return to profit growth in this financial year. The ECB rate decision is scheduled for later in the day, with market watchers almost certain the central bank will cut rates by 25 basis points. Instead, focus will be on bank President Christine Lagarde's signals about future policy decisions. Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls data will also command attention as evidence mounts of economic damage from President Donald Trump's tariff policies, following weak jobs and services data for the month of May. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that a defence spending commitment of 5% of GDP across the NATO alliance will happen, ahead of the bloc's defence ministers' meeting. A gauge of the UK's defence stocks (.FTNMX502010), opens new tab was down 0.4% in the day. Back home, British construction firms reduced staff numbers last month at the fastest pace in nearly five years, reflecting higher wage costs and reduced demand, a survey showed on Thursday. Data by the Bank of England revealed 70% of businesses surveyed in May expect no impact on sales, prices or investment plans from U.S. tariffs. Among other movers, Mitie Group (MTO.L), opens new tab slid 11% after the outsourcing firm suspended 125 million pounds ($169.5 mln) share buyback programme. ($1 = 0.7374 pounds)

Hungarian minister calls for safeguards in contested transparency bill
BUDAPEST, June 5 (Reuters) - A Hungarian government minister said on Thursday that a new transparency bill targeting foreign-funded groups must not be used for political prosecution and should contain safeguards, highlighting differences within the ruling party over the plan. Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in power since 2010, pledged in March to crack down on foreign funding of independent media, opposition politicians and NGOs. The bill, submitted to parliament by Orban's nationalist Fidesz party on May 14, would draft a list of organisations that get foreign funding and restrict or even shut them down if deemed to threaten Hungary's sovereignty and its culture. Critics say the bill aims to stifle political dissent ahead of a national election due in 2026 when Orban faces an unprecedented challenge from a new opposition party. The bill has prompted street protests, while scores of editors from leading European news outlets signed a petition last month calling on Hungary to scrap the bill. On Wednesday Fidesz unexpectedly postponed a parliamentary debate on the legislation and said a vote would not take place before the summer recess. Regional Development Minister Tibor Navracsics said he backed the original purpose of the legislation to create transparency over the finances of groups influencing public discourse but voiced opposition to some provisions. "If we must be drawing up a list (of organisations), then that must be as specific as possible, or the possibility of judicial recourse must be provided," Navracsics, a former justice minister, told the Otpontban political podcast. Navracsics, a former European Commissioner, said he also opposed a proposal to strip targeted organisations of the right to receive voluntary income tax donations from the public. Navracsics dismissed speculation that Orban would not contest the upcoming election as prime minister but he said the lavish lifestyle of some ruling party politicians and businessmen around Fidesz was "harmful". "I do not know if this will be a decisive factor (in the election). However, from my own constituency I know there are indeed people irritated by such levels of wealth inequality," he said.
