Huge Greggs menu shake-up will let fans CREATE their own sandwiches

A HUGE Greggs shake-up means fans will be able to create their own sandwiches later this year.

The bakery giant said that it will trial the option for customers to customise their sandwich fillings.

Currently, the only items people can customise are pizza toppings.

But that can only be done when you order the snack through its click and collect service.

Sandwiches might not be the only items you could customise in the future.

Greggs said in its latest financial results: "In time we expect customisation to be extended to other elements of our made-in-store range."

Customers will only be able to customise cold baguettes - it doesn't apply to hot sandwiches.

You won't be charged for creating your own sandwich, but if you apply any extra ingredients, you'll be charged for this.

You won't be charged for extra salad or sauce, but you'll be paying between 20p and 50p more for meat and protein fillings.

Greggs said customers can start customising their sandwiches by August /September time.

It's not the only menu shake-up Greggs has rolled out recently.

It has added two salad meal choices - BBQ Chicken & Sweetcorn Fritters, and Sweet Potato Bhaji & Rice.

And two new pizza flavours have also been put on the menu: Mexican Chicken and Pepperoni Hot Shot.

It comes as Greggs is planning to open 150 new stores by the end of the year.

Currently boasting 2,239 stores, the company is thinking about increasing the number to 3,000 "in the coming years".

But it did warn fans earlier this year of price hikes.

Pastry fans were left disappointed when the firm upped the price of its sausage rolls by 5p in January.

That was part of a wider increase that saw some products rise by 10p.

In March it forewarned of further "necessary" increases due to higher staff, energy and material costs.

The latest price hike came in May, when 5p to 10p was added to some items.

Greggs revealed its summer clothes range in collaboration with Primark - and it includes sausage roll socks.

The Sun's Sam Walker went to the new "mega" Greggs - but it wasn't what he was expecting.
