The Mac & Cheese will be available at more than 1,750 locations nationwide by July's end

Greggs is set to roll out its popular Mac & Cheese nationwide by the end of July 2025, following a successful trial.

The comfort food favourite will be available in all shops with Hot To Go units following overwhelming customer demand.


The nationwide launch comes after a successful trial in 10 Greater Manchester shops in November 2024.

The pasta dish was subsequently introduced to 300 UK locations earlier this year as part of Greggs' ongoing plans to expand menu options.

The food-on-the-go retailer continues its commitment to offering customers more choice and variety from its menu.

The pasta box has created a social media sensation, with food influencer Carmie Sellitto's TikTok post generating over 1.5 million views.

In the viral video, Carmie enthusiastically told fans: "Wow! I actually ate this so quickly I couldn't take a second to breathe, I was so excited!"

Greggs also joined the online buzz by sharing their own video of the "velvety goodness". The bakery chain's official post has now been watched more than three million times.


The Mac & Cheese has sparked considerable excitement online, with customers eagerly sharing their experiences.

Baked fresh in shops daily, the Mac & Cheese features pasta smothered in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. It's topped with a comforting blend of Cheddar and Red Leicester cheeses.

A crunchy layer of ciabatta breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of parsley complete the "divine golden crumb" topping.

This "gooey, crispy and oh-so-tasty comfort food" is available from £4.55, but customers can also make it a meal deal, with Mac & Cheese and any drink available from just £5.75.

The Mac & Cheese will expand from its current 300 shops to over 1,750 locations nationwide by July's end.

Customers can also order via Click+Collect on the Greggs App, which is free to download.

The app offers rewards, with users receiving a free item after nine purchases across different categories.

New app users receive a complimentary hot drink upon registration and a sweet treat for their birthday.

Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with one TikTok user commenting in November: "I bought one for the first time today and I enjoyed it. I'm going to get another one tomorrow."
