Greggs new Chicken Roll

Chicken is cheaper. If it sells they’re quids in. It’s also perceived as a bit healthier and of course pork isn’t eaten by some cultures.
It sounds absolutely vile. As for the chicken it isn’t halal or kosher either so not sure who the other cultures are that you refer to.

Good point re: cultures. It would seem like a good alternative to pork but no good if not Kosher or Halal for that market. Just a profit exercise then I imagine.

Or course. They wouldn't be doing it if they thought it would lose money.

Whatever you think about the quality of the food, they are a well run and successful business with NE roots.

Their bacon rolls are very decent too.

Isn't one of the heirs to Greggs a convicted Paedophile?!?!?!?....Sure I read that on a BBC Site...so North East Roots yes,,,,,But extremely dodgy ones.....not sure I would like putting money into his pocket by buying a Sickly Sausage Roll.... 😎

Sausage rolls taste bland as owt and not like they used to. Same for the corned beef pasties. Bring back peters
Apparently less salt in the shop ones compared to the frozen retail ones.

Fondly remembering the cheese n onion pasty from Maws - loads of tasty cheese and potato with right amount of seasoning and buttered flaky crust.

The Greggs equivalent is filled with some sort of toxic baby puke.. 🤮 🤢

Just demolished the new chicken roll from Greggs, better than I thought it would be. Anyone else had one yet?

Was it cold like everything else from Greggs?
I don’t understand who they are for. Meat eaters have the pork ones, vegans and veggies have the vegan one. Who is the chicken one aimed at?

What a stupid question
They already do a chicken bake so what is the point of the chicken roll ??

Think they need to do a curry pastie or a Yorkie wrap

The katsu chicken pasty they done was lovely. Always had to take it home and stick it in the oven first mind, but at least it tasted nice when hot
