Greggs vegan steak bake returns to menus today after two years

Hundreds of you asked... and now Greggs have answered.

Vegan steak bakes are once again back in stores, after a two year hiatus from menus.

Yup, in order to see in Veganuary, Greggs is topping up its already-rather-impressive plant-based menu by bringing back the fan favourite.

Landing in stores today (Jan 4th) the steak bakes are priced from just £2 (the exact price can vary depending on the store).

The vegan steak bake first landed on menus in 2020, a year after the brand's iconic and super-convincing vegan sausage roll, which sent Piers Morgan into a frenzy.

And they were a verified hit, with many saying that they tasted almost indistinguishable from the original.

The pastry comes coated in thin and crispy layers of puff pastry and the filling is made of Quorn, with diced onions and meat-free gravy chucked in there, too.

Vegans can also tuck into the glazed ring doughnut, a sweet potato and onion bhaji rice box and southern fried potato wedges, as well as a vegan sausage breakfast roll and hash browns.

The return of the Greggs steak bake has definitely caused a stir on the internet.

"Greggs vegan steak bake is back, this has to be a good omen for 2024," said one person on Twitter.

Whilst another wrote "my prayers have been answered."

Following its return, people are also calling for more plant-based Greggs pastries to make a comeback, including the Sausage, Bean, and CheeZe Melt. Greggs, if you're reading this, you know what to do!

The bakery chain has made a name for itself as the vegan go-to spot, after their sausage roll proved their was a gap in the market.

Sales rose by 14.7 percent in six months when the vegan sausage roll first launched, so it's no wonder they rushed to create more plant-based options in its wake.
