Greggs issues statement as it axes much-loved Easter item from menu

Greggs has announced a shake-up to its Easter menu this year and it's bad news for hot cross bun fans.

The high-street bakery, which is known for its seasonal products, has confirmed its popular hot cross buns are taking a "well-deserved break" this year.

Ahead of Easter, which falls on Sunday, April 17, customers are likely to see returning and new products hit the shelves in Greggs.

While the Easter menu for 2022 is yet to be announced, chocolate crispy nests and themed cupcakes and biscuits are nearly always up for grabs.

Hot cross buns will be absent, however, with a Greggs spokesperson telling WalesOnline: "Our Hot Cross Buns are taking a well-deserved rest from our Easter menu this year but keep an eye out for our other exciting Easter products which will be in shops soon."

But while one item is out, another is firmly back in, with Greggs announcing the return of the much-loved Vegan Sausage, Bean and Cheeze Melt this week.

The plant-based product returned on March 3 after a hiatus due to supply chain issues.

And if you can't get enough of all things Greggs then the bakery's new collaboration with Primark is well worth knowing about.

The Greggs and Primark collection launched last month with merchandise available to purchase in two Welsh stores. You can read more about this here.
