Customers have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the release of the Mac and Cheese.

One user on TikTok said: "I bought one for the first time today and I enjoyed it. I'm going to get another one tomorrow."

Another user had mixed opinions towards the new product. They said: "The Greggs Mac and Cheese tastes nice, but it just needs salt."

Some shoppers did feel it was too expensive. One exclaimed: "Just about £5.00 for that, why so expensive?"
