Greggs adds 5p to cost of sausage rolls despite plan not to raise prices

Bakery chain says price of meal deals will stay the same but increased costs have put it under pressure

Greggs has increased the amount it charges for some of its items, including an extra 5p on sausage rolls and their vegan equivalent, despite the bakery chain having said earlier this year it had no plans to increase prices.

Roisin Currie, chief executive of the Newcastle-based group, said it had increased prices on a small number of products, including cheese sandwiches, in recent weeks as it continued to come under pressure from a growing wage bill.
