GREGGS has put an end to months of speculation by confirming the launch of its Vegan Steak Bake on Thursday.

The Vegan Steak Bake has been created to mirror some of the original Steak Bake’s features, but instead is made with Quorn pieces, diced onions and a gravy filling.

Greggs’ Vegan Sausage Roll, launched in January 2019 has become one of its fastest selling products of the last six years.

The Greggs product development team has been working for months on the Vegan Steak Bake recipe, recruiting a whole panel of vegan and non-vegan taste testers.

Roger Whiteside, chief executive at Greggs, said: “Our Vegan Sausage Roll launch was a huge success and we’ve been working tirelessly to expand our vegan friendly offering and provide more delicious savoury food on-the-go options for people looking to reduce their meat intake.

“The launch of our Vegan Steak Bake is another key milestone on our journey to become our customers’ favourite for food-on-the-go. We look forward to hearing the feedback.”

The Greggs Vegan Steak Bake will be available initially across 1,300 shops from January 2, rolling out to a further 700 shops on January 16.

Greggs has also launched a Vegan Steak Bake finder to make it easier for customers to track down their local shop which goes live from 10am on January 2 – https://greggs.co.uk/vsb-locator
