First up, the chain's pigs under blankets baguette has returned once again.

It's 159 calories and will set you back at least £2.
For those with a sweet tooth, mince pies have hit the menu too.
You can get one for 50p, a pack of six from £1.75, or two packs for £3 - and they are 281 calories each.
To wash your lunch down, you can choose from a selection of three festive hot drinks.
First up is the mint mocha topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles.
It costs £1.95 and will set you back 303 calories.

When will the Greggs Christmas menu launch?
All festive snacks under "phase one" of Greggs' Christmas menu rollout are already in stores.
That means you can grab the treats from your local branch - which you can find using on its website.
Greggs has also revealed when its Christmas staple, the Festive Bake, will land in stores.
Fans will be able to bag the bake on November 22 - along with the vegan version, the Vegan Festive Bake.
However, the bakes were originally going to land in stores on November 4 - over two weeks earlier.
It didn't explain the reason behind the delay, but came after months of staff and product shortages in the hospitality and retail sectors.
Greggs hasn't revealed any details on when the next phase of its Christmas menu will be rolled out.
But we will update this article as soon as we know more.
