Greggs Sausage roll honoured at Madame Tussauds in London
The beloved pastry secured a top spot at the wax figure museum, standing alongside the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Stormzy and William Shakespeare at the attraction's Culture Capital Zone. The one-of-a-kind replica has been handcrafted by the talented artists at Madame Tussauds and is the first time a food item has been given the "celebrity treatment". The special exhibit will be available to see from Thursday, June 5. This is being done to mark National Sausage Roll Day (Image: Jonathan Short/Greggs) Jo Kinsey, Studio Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: "The Greggs Sausage Roll is synonymous with British culture - we just had to put it in our Culture Zone. "Our artists have put in numerous hours to capture every detail of this popular menu item. "The pressure was on to capture it perfectly because we know how passionate Brits are about their favourite pastry! "We took the process very seriously, making this creation the same way we make all our figures at the attraction. "We're delighted to honour its iconic status with a history-making feat - the first time an individual food item has had the honour of having its figure at Madame Tussauds London. "We can't wait for guests to be stopped in the tracks at the life-like sausage roll - just in time for National Sausage Roll Day." Rosin Currie, CEO at Greggs, added: 'We're thrilled that Madame Tussauds London has chosen to honour the Greggs Sausage Roll in such a unique and iconic way. "It's a true celebration of a national favourite, and we couldn't think of a more fitting tribute in the lead-up to National Sausage Roll Day. "Seeing our Sausage Roll receive the celebrity treatment is a proud and slightly surreal moment for all of us at Greggs.'
