The Legend of the Greggs Sausage Roll
The Greggs sausage roll is more than just a menu item—it's a British cultural icon. Since its introduction, this humble pastry has become one of the most popular savoury snacks in the UK, selling millions every week.
What Makes It Special?
The secret to the perfect Greggs sausage roll lies in its simplicity and quality. Made with seasoned pork sausage meat and wrapped in 96 layers of light, crispy puff pastry, each sausage roll is baked fresh throughout the day. The recipe has remained largely unchanged for decades, proving that perfection doesn't need improving.
The Numbers
Greggs sells over 140 million sausage rolls every year—that's approximately 2.5 million per week! If you lined them all up, they'd stretch from London to Edinburgh several times over. The sausage roll accounts for a significant portion of Greggs' £1 billion annual revenue.
Cultural Impact
The sausage roll has transcended its status as mere food to become a cultural phenomenon. It's been the subject of countless memes, social media posts, and even political debates. When Greggs launched the vegan sausage roll in 2019, it sold out nationwide within weeks, demonstrating the British public's enduring love for this classic treat.

The undisputed king of Greggs bakes. With over 140 million sold annually, this British classic remains unbeatable. The perfect ratio of sausage to pastry, the seasoning, and the crispy golden finish make it a timeless favourite.

Creamy, comforting, and packed with chicken. The chicken bake is perfect for those who prefer poultry over red meat. The creamy sauce and tender chicken pieces make every bite satisfying.
