Greggs has confirmed that its Steak & Stilton Bake, discontinued in 2019, will return to shelves from Thursday, September 3, 2026. The announcement came as the high street chain unveiled its autumn menu, which also introduces several new items and brings back seasonal favourites.
Return of a 'legendary item'
The Steak & Stilton Bake, described by Greggs as a 'legendary item' that fans have been 'begging for,' will be available for £2.50, though prices may vary slightly by location. The pastry contains diced beef in rich gravy, blue Stilton cheese, and grilled onions wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Greggs told Metro that the new autumn items will remain on the menu until the launch of the Christmas menu, though the exact date of that transition has not been disclosed.
New additions to the autumn menu
Alongside the returning bake, Greggs is introducing several new products. The Buffalo Chicken Baguette (from £4.10) features buffalo-style chicken mayonnaise with mature cheddar cheese and red onion. The Buffalo Pizza Slice (from £2.70) is a focaccia-style pizza topped with cheese, pizza sauce, buffalo-style chicken mayonnaise, and red onion, available in two-, four-, or six-slice boxes priced from £5.75, £8.95, and £10.95 respectively.
The Chicken & Pepperoni Toastie (from £3.80) combines chicken in a pizza-style sauce within a sandwich. For those with a sweet tooth, the Bonfire Toffee Muffin (from £1.65) is also new this autumn.
The much-loved Pumpkin Spice drinks are making a comeback, with the Pumpkin Spice Latte (from £2.85, or £3.35 for iced) now topped with salted caramel drizzle. The Pumpkin Spice Doughnut (from £1.50) also returns.
Customer reactions and feedback
Fans have expressed excitement on social media. Instagram user @hanabizzle wrote, 'Steak and stilton bake, you little treasure,' while @jamitetbh.eats called the bake 'unreal.' @niamhsscran commented, 'What a menu! Can't wait to devour it all xo,' and @si.oz.si.oz remarked, 'You've smashed autumn already.'
On Facebook, Matthew King said, 'Yes finally!!,' Holly Jary-Mappin added, 'now that's a bit of me,' Rosana Bateman stated, 'Greggs have won my heart,' Laura Anne called it 'beautiful,' and Dave Rushforth said it 'Sounds delicious!'
However, some customers pointed out the lack of new vegan and vegetarian options, as well as dairy-free milk for drinks. Instagram user @the_vegan_cottage wrote, 'The vegan sausage roll might be for 365 days a year, but we deserve a little autumnal treat too.'
Greggs has not yet announced whether additional plant-based items will be added to the autumn menu.
