I tried the ‘secret' Greggs menu items only available in Scotland – as reason for local items revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GREGGS fans are only just realising that there is a secret menu only available in Scotland. Everyone is familiar with the classic sausage roll or cheese and onion pasty but did you know the Empire Biscuit is only available north of the border? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Scottish Sun man Jordan Tennant taste tests the Scottish Greggs menu Credit: Michael Schofield 6 Some of the items include Scotch Pies, Empire Biscuits and Apple Danishes Credit: Michael Schofield A Greggs spokesperson lifted the lid on the regional favourites after it was revealed that Scotland had the most local items. They said: "Historically, our regional bakeries had responsibility for making their own products, which resulted in some local Greggs delicacies. "Some of these were so popular that as the business has grown, we are still selling them today." Elsewhere in the UK, Meat and Potato Pies can only be scoffed in Manchester while the London Cheesecake can be purchased in the southeast of England. We previously revealed that customers were left heartbroken after a much-loved staple was axed, however there are plenty of other mouthwatering treats. And Scottish Sun man JORDAN TENNANT was crust the man to try out the Scottish offerings. SCOTCH PIE I'VE eaten more Scotch Pies over the years than I care to remember. And Greggs is definitely up there with the best for its generous filling. The crust is crisp and the meat is mouthwatering with a stunning spice. Only available in Scotland, the northeast of England has Savoury Mince Pie - we'll stick with the real thing. 6 The Scotch Pie has a golden crust and is filled with stunning Credit: Michael Schofield PINEAPPLE CAKE IT wasn't just a burst of flavour I got from these sweet treats. The Pineapple cake also brought back a burst of nostalgia from devouring them as a kid. Our neighbours to the south are missing out on its rich cream filling on top of a sweet pineapple jam. 6 The Pineapple Cake is a fan favourite for its sweet and rich filling Credit: Michael Schofield EMPIRE BISCUIT THEY say everyday is a school day and this was certainly the case when I discovered the Empire Biscuit originated in Scotland. I'm told these are also available in the northeast of England. SCOTLAND REGIONAL ITEMS Bloomers Scotch Pie Empire Biscuit Fruit Scone French Fancy Pineapple Cake Devon Doughnut Jumbo Choc Ring Doughnut Vanilla Doughnut Apple Danish If you've never crossed paths with this mouthwatering treat, there's jam in the middle and a cherry on the top. 6 The Empire Biscuit is a golden biscuit with jam, icing and a cherry Credit: Michael Schofield APPLE DANISH THERE'S nothing Scottish about the name but that didn't bother me one bit. When I think of a Danish pastry, I think of a flaky croissant-type texture. But this was spongy and sweet and was perfect with a cup of coffee. 6 The Apple Danish is sticky and pairs well with a cup of coffee Credit: Michael Schofield UK'S REGIONAL ITEM Stotties – North East Savoury Mince Pie – North East Meat and Potato Bake – Manchester Corned Beef Bake – West, North East, Leeds, Wales Bread Pudding – South Choc Flake Cake – Wales Peach Melba – North East Custard Tart – West Cheese Scone – North East London Cheesecake – South East Pink Iced Finger – North East Tottenham Cake – South East Welsh Cake – Wales

Mum buys mystery bag from Greggs for £3.15 and contents inside leave her floored
Alice Nash's Too Good To Go bag has left social media users stunned as the mum-of-two picked up £33 worth of Greggs goodies for just £3.15 through the food waste app A mum who bought a mystery bag from Greggs has been stunned by the contents of her purchase. The Too Good To Go food bag, which offers discounted food items in a bundle bag, featured a fantastic haul of food for Alice Nash. The mum managed to grab £33 worth of Greggs food items for just £3.15, and broke down what she had received from the purchase. Alice, from Wiltshire, only just started using the Too Good To Go app and nothing could have prepared her for the impressive haul she got from the popular pastry chain. The bag she received was crammed full of sweet treats and savoury snacks. A total of 14 items were put in the mystery bag, with Alice, 28, sharing her haul on social media. The collection of items included three custard slices, a Margherita pizza slice, a box of two Yum Yums, a Chelsea bun, a Southern fried chicken baguette, a cheese and ham toastie, a tuna cucumber sandwich, a cheese Ploughman's roll, a steak bake, a veggie bake, a cheese, beans and sausage bake and a BLT sandwich. Mum-of-two Alice and partner Kyle had only wanted a light bite after their big lunch but were left with far more than they bargained for upon collecting their order. Speaking to What's the Jam, Alice said: "It's definitely the best bag we've received out of all the places we've purchased from, as there was such a variety. "I have been told this is a lot more than anyone normally gets since I posted my TikTok, so I know we got very lucky. My partner Kyle picked it up and immediately rang me and said he couldn't believe how much food there was. 'It was our first time getting a Greggs bag, and we didn't know what to expect. We thought we'd get maybe a sandwich and a bake – not a whole feast." Her food haul was shared to TikTok, where members of the public shared their envy after seeing the "best bag" from Too Good To Go. Others were left in disbelief, saying that there is "not supposed to be that much" in one bag. Another added: "You don't get all that in one bag - you must have bought four bags." Alice had the tuna sandwich, her daughter went for the toastie, and her partner tucked into a sandwich and one of the bakes. The rest was shared out the next day, including a delivery to her dad at work, who was more than happy to help finish it all off. Alice said: 'My daughter loves the surprise element to the bags, so we like to buy them, but always make sure it's from a place we know we will eat from and make use of the items. 'My dad was very happy when my partner turned up with lunch ready for them at work. Nothing went to waste, and it was all gone within two days. It felt like winning the Too Good To Go lottery. "We'll definitely be getting another Greggs bag – but I don't think we'll ever top this one."
