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.”
While a third added: “I’m sorry for your loss but I really hope this means the [vegan] steak bake is coming back.
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.”
It’s not the first time Greggs has axed a menu item leaving fans upset.
Last May, the high street chain axed it’s vegan stake beak last and in March this year in confirmed it would no longer serve its ham salad baguette.
The lunch item has dropped off the menu in favour of other fresh baguettes, despite regulars insisting it was popular.
It is not uncommon for the bakery giant to switch up its menu to make way for new products.
