Greggs menu shake-up as it introduces TikTok viral lunchtime item to 300 UK stores – see if it’s coming near you

GREGGS is releasing one of its TikTok viral lunch items nationwide following a successful trial last year.

The popular baked goods chain announced its highly anticipated Mac & Cheese will become available nationally after it has gained popularity on social media.

The roll-out follows a successful trial that started with ten Greater Manchester shops in November last year, then came to 300 other UK locations earlier this year.

Over 1750 Greggs’ shops around the country with Hot To Go units will soon have Mac & Cheese available by the end of July.

Each box is being sold for £4.55, or can be bought as a meal with a drink from £5.75.

The Mac & Cheese has been described by Greggs as: “A delicious pasta smothered in a rich, creamy cheese sauce, topped with a soul-comforting blend of Cheddar and Red Leicester.”

On top of that is an added crunchy layer of ciabatta breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of parsley “to form a divine golden crumb”.

The roll-out of the new Mac & Cheese is part of Greggs’ ongoing plans to provide greater choice and variety to customers from their menu.

The chain is also reported to have the ambitious plan to reach more than 3,000 shops around the UK in the longer term.

It is baked fresh in shop every day, and can be ordered in-store or via Click+Collect on the Greggs App.

The cheesy pasta box has been posted to social media by various customers, including food influencer Carmie Sellitto who generated over 1.5 million views from his TikTok video tasting the item.

Carmie, who goes by @touchdalight on TikTok, told fans: “Wow! I actually ate this so quickly I couldn’t take a second to breathe, I was so excited!”

This latest launch from Greggs follows plans to open seven new special stores where customers can get 46p sausage rolls.
