‘Don’t do this to us’, Greggs customers fume as it axes menu staple to make way for new vegan treats

GREGGS fans have been left fuming as it axes a popular menu staple from its vegan offering.

The bakery giant has removed its Vegan Steak Bake from menus, it has confirmed to The Sun.

It comes after fans have been left devastated when they attempted to order the meat-free treat.

Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one said: “where has the vegan steak bake gone? Don’t do this to us.”

While another exclaimed: “Oi, why you stopping the vegan steak bake!”

A third posted: “Why has the vegan steak bake disappeared again?”

And a fourth wrote: “Have you guys stopped doing the vegan steak bake again? Been told that by one of your staff.”

“Has the vegan steak bake gone again?” another asked.

But sadly the news is true. Greggs has removed the snack from its offering in a bid to expand its vegan range.

A spokesperson told The Sun: “Our Vegan Steak Bake will be taking a break from the menu to make way for a tasty vegan favourite, which will be launching next week.”

They went on to say that fans of the Vegan Steak Bake should grab them whilst stocks last.

The news won’t come as too much of a surprise as the bake was only ever meant to be around for a limited time.

The vegan steak bake first launched in January 2020, as a sequel to the hugely successful vegan sausage roll which launched a year earlier.

It then was unceremoniously cut before rejoining menus earlier this year.

Fans were thrilled to learn of its return: “My steak bake was actually hot and just as beautiful as I remember.”

Another wrote: “The Greggs vegan steak bake is banging.”

While a third added: “Greggs bringing back the vegan steak bake my prayers have been answered.”

Greggs’ Vegan Steak Bake is made of Quorn mycoprotein pieces, wrapped in golden puff pastry.

It currently costs £2 and has 374 calories – but you’ll need to hop to it if you want to try it one last time.

Vegans can still get their hands on a range of options though.

These include the vegan sausage roll, glazed ring doughnut, sweet potato and onion bhaji rice box, and southern fried potato wedges.

The retailer also offers a variety of vegan breakfast options, including the vegan sausage breakfast roll and hash browns.
