Greggs adds two new menu items - but not everyone is convinced by the shake-up

Greggs has added two new items to its menu - but fans are divided on the changes.

The Newcastle-based bakery chain has launched a new vegan bake as well as a new muffin. The Vegan Mexican Chicken-free Bake is made with vegan chicken-free pieces, mixed vegetables, and Mexican-style tomato sauce, all packed into pastry that's topped with a "cheese-flavour crumb".

And the muffin is raspberry flavoured and comes with a gooey raspberry centre as well as raspberry pieces. The new items are now available in all Greggs stores across the UK, and have been launched alongside two new bundle deals which are available exclusively for those who order through the Just Eat app.

The new vegan bake is already splitting opinion online - as not everyone is keen on the latest addition to the menu, reports The Mirror. One person said: "Bring back the vegan steak bake and the triple cheese toastie though."

While another fumed: "Nobody asked for this. Ever." But there were also comments from people who couldn't wait to tuck into the new spicy-themed slice, with one person simply saying "omg", and another posting: "I knew it!"

Meanwhile, those who order their Greggs via Just Eat, can now take advatange of two new bundles. The eight-piece chicken feast comes with eight southern fried chicken goujons, two portions of southern fried potato wedges and two portions of spicy BBQ chicken bites. You'll then be able to add four dips and three cold drinks of your choice.

And for an even bigger feast, you can set your sights on the 12-piece chicken bundle, which comes with 12 southern friend chicken goujons, three portions of southern fried potato wedges and two portions of spicy BBQ chicken bites. As with the smaller bundle, the 12-piece feast comes with three cold drinks and five dips.
