Greggs has launched a host of new additions to its menu The new range includes bakes, sandwiches, sweet treats, drinks and more I tried three new menu items and here is what I thought Iconic bakery chain Greggs has launched brand-new menu items, which includes a bake, korean chicken range, sweet treats, iced and hot coffees and much more. As a massive fan of Greggs (I'm a North East girl, sausage rolls are in my blood), I was super excited to give a few of its new menu items a try for myself. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Greggs kindly sent me three new items to try, which included the Red Pepper, Feta and Spinach Bake, Lemon Meringue Muffin and the Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte. Greggs launches brand-new menu additions - and here is what I thought | Hope and Glory I first tried the Red Pepper, Feta and Spinach Bake, which from the outside looked absolutely delicious down to Greggs' iconic mouth-watering pastry. The bake itself was nice enough, but not something I would purchase again. It had a very prominent red pepper flavour with a hint of spice. I really enjoyed the bake, but I personally love the addition of meat in a bake, and I felt that it was missing from the flavour and texture. If you are not a meat-eater though, this could be the bake for you. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I then tried the Lemon Meringue Muffin, which was delicious although very sweet. I'm not someone who purchases a sweet treat often, but this is a great choice who wants a little sweet kick now and again. Including lemon was a great move from Greggs in my opinion as it truly is the fruit of the season. Finally, I took a sip of the Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte, leaving the best til last as I was super excited for it. I absolutely love iced coffee, I'm always willing to try new flavours and this flavour certainly intrigued me. The Iced Caramelised Biscuit Latte was absolutely lovely, with a very strong coffee flavour and hint of sweetness. The name of the latte made me think it would be a lot sweeter than it actually was, but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. As part of its new menu offerings, Greggs has also introduced a Korean chicken sandwich range, brand-new pizza slice, Balanced Choice breakfast option and much more.

Greggs shares huge update as it pushes ahead with plans to open 150 new stores
The new openings mean that Greggs now has 2,638 sites, with an aim of having more than 4,500 locations across the country - this is more than fast food giant McDonald's Greggs has shared a major update on its plans to open up to 150 new stores this year. The high street bakery chain announced that it had opened 20 new UK stores in the first half of its financial year. The new openings mean that Greggs now has 2,638 sites, with an aim of having more than 4,500 locations across the country. According to its latest results, the new openings helped drive a 7.4% increase in total sales to over £784million in the first 20 weeks of this year. Over the same period, like-for-like sales rose by over 2.9%, going up from 1.7% in the first nine weeks. Greggs says the rise in sales is due to its expanded menu. Alongside this, the group has also embraced longer opening hours into the evening, increased delivery sales through Just Eat and Uber Eats, and launched the Greggs App. Over the last few months, Greggs has added mac and cheese, chicken burgers and fish finger sandwiches to its menus. For its summer menu, the bakery chain added a new Korean Crispy Chicken Burger, a Korean BBQ Chicken Wrap and flatbread, Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake, and a new Cheese and Onion Roll - to name just a few. Greggs is also set to open more of its outlet stores over the coming few months. . Greggs Outlet sells surplus food including sausage rolls and bakes at super cheap prices. You can typically find discounts of up to 75% off - so for example, a four-pack of sausage rolls costs £1.85 in Greggs Outlet, which is 46p a sausage roll. You would normally pay around £4.35 for a four-pack of sausage rolls in a regular Greggs store. Greggs currently has 38 outlet stores. The sausage roll chain originally wanted to increase this number to 50 in 2025, but it is now aiming for 45 stores. Greggs has not revealed the locations for its new Greggs Outlet stores. Join Money Saving Club's specialist topics Greggs has recently had to make some drastic changes across its store estate to tackle shoplifting in its high street sites. The bakery chain has been forced to put sandwiches and bottled drinks behind counters in some stores to stop shoplifters. These items are normally found at the front of shops in self-service fridges. According to reports, around five Greggs branches had to do this, due to the level of theft seen in these sites. One of these includes Greggs in Whitechapel, East London. Other stores have had screens installed at the counter or have introduced full-time security guards. In a statement on the moves, Greggs said: "This is one of a number of initiatives we are trialling across a handful of shops which are exposed to higher levels of anti-social behaviour. Safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority.'

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
View the This roasted red pepper hummus is one of those dips that feels a little special but couldn't be easier to make. It starts with canned chickpeas and jarred roasted red peppers, so there's no cooking involved—just toss everything in the food processor and blend. Like I like to finish roasted red pepper hummus with a swirl of good olive oil, a sprinkle of sumac, and a handful of toasted pine nuts for texture and a pop of flavor. Bonus: it can be made up to two days in advance; just bring it to room temperature before serving. What You'll Need To Make Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Jennifer Segal Chickpeas: The base of the hummus, giving it that creamy texture and a nice boost of protein. Lemon juice: Adds bright, fresh acidity to balance the richness of the tahini. Sesame tahini: Gives the hummus its signature nutty flavor and smooth, creamy texture. Jarred roasted red bell peppers: Add a sweet, smoky flavor to the dip; be sure to pat them dry so the hummus doesn't turn out watery. Garlic: Adds punchy, savory flavor. Always use fresh garlic when making hummus. Sumac, cumin, and cayenne pepper: A warm, slightly tangy spice blend with a touch of heat. Sumac, often used in Middle Eastern cooking, is optional but really nice if you have it (you can find it online or in the spice section of many large supermarkets). Salt and sugar: Salt brings out all the flavor in the hummus, while a bit of sugar helps highlight the natural sweetness of the roasted red peppers. Extra-virgin olive oil: Adds richness and helps everything come together with a smooth texture. Pine nuts (optional): Great for topping the hummus with a little crunch and toasty flavor. Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1. Purée the ingredients. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, roasted red peppers, garlic, sumac (if using), cumin, cayenne, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Process for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Processing for the full 1 to 2 minutes is key—longer blending time breaks down the chickpeas for a smoother finish. The hummus should hold its shape when you drag a spoon through it. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Jennifer Segal Jennifer Segal Step 2: Spoon, swirl, and serve. Transfer to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a shallow well in the center. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sumac (if using), and garnish with toasted pine nuts, if you like. Serve the roasted red pepper hummus at room temperature with pita bread, pita chips, or crudités. Jennifer Segal Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Makes 3 cups Related Stories 11/27/2023 8/14/2023 Prep Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, well-drained 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, from 2 lemons 1/4 cup sesame tahini, well-stirred 2/3 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained and patted dry, roughly chopped 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 3/4 teaspoon sumac, plus more for serving (optional but recommended) Heaping 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon sugar 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted, for serving (optional, see note) In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, roasted red bell peppers, garlic, sumac (if using), cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Process for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. The hummus should hold its shape when you drag a spoon through it. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Drizzle a little olive oil in the well; sprinkle with sumac (if using), then garnish with the toasted pine nuts (if using). Serve at room temperature with pita bread, pita chips, or crudités. Notes Note: To toast pine nuts, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the nuts to a small bowl to stop the cooking process. (Pay close attention: they go from perfectly golden to burnt quickly.) Make-Ahead Instructions: Red pepper hummus can be made and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator up to two days ahead of time. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Greggs makes huge change to UK stores to tackle major problem
Reports suggest Greggs has been forced to move some items behind counters in at least five branches to deter thieves Greggs has started putting sandwiches and bottled drinks behind counters in some stores to stop shoplifters. These items are normally found at the front of shops in self-service fridges. But reports suggest Greggs has been forced to move them behind counters in at least five branches to deter thieves. One of these includes Greggs in Whitechapel, East London. One worker told the Sun: 'The stealing before was so bad. I couldn't put a number on how many thieves came in every day.' Other shops are said to have had screens installed at the counter or have introduced full-time security guards. Greggs told the paper: 'This is one of a number of initiatives we are trialling across a handful of shops which are exposed to higher levels of anti-social behaviour. Safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority.' It comes after an investigation by the Sun found thieves were targeting some Greggs shops every 20 minutes. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed a total of 516,971 shoplifting offences were logged by forces in 2024, up 20% from 429,873 in 2023. Greggs has more than 2,600 shops across the UK. In better news, Greggs has just released its summer menu - including a new bake. The new Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake has just landed on shelves, alongside new Korean chicken menu items. This includes the Korean Crispy Chicken Burger and Korean BBQ Chicken Wrap, plus the Korean BBQ Chicken Flatbread and Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken Baguette. Those looking for a veggie option can try the new Cheese and Onion Roll. Other additions include a focaccia style Chicken, Sweetcorn & Red Onion Pizza, which is available by the slice, or in boxes of four of six slices. Meanwhile, Greggs is set to open seven new discount outlet stores this year. Greggs Outlet sells surplus food including sausage rolls and bakes at super cheap prices. You can typically find discounts of up to 75% off - so for example, a four-pack of sausage rolls costs £1.85 in Greggs Outlet, which is 46p a sausage roll. You would normally pay around £4.35 for a four-pack of sausage rolls in a regular Greggs store. Greggs has 38 outlet stores.
