Greggs Lunch Guide: Sandwiches, Baguettes & Wraps

The Greggs lunch guide starts with a simple fact: the cold lunch range is wide, affordable, and easy to get wrong if you just grab the first thing you see. Baguettes run from £3.80 to £4.20, rolls and sandwiches from £2.60 to £3.90, and the right meal deal can cut the total to £4.25 or less. This guide walks through every sandwich, baguette, roll and wrap on the Greggs menu, with 2026 prices, so you can pick the best lunch for your budget.

All prices are standard high-street takeaway prices from our Greggs menu prices guide. Prices vary by store: London and city-centre branches typically charge 11–19% more, and airport, motorway and station shops 27–55% more. Eating in adds 20% VAT. This site is not affiliated with Greggs.

Greggs Baguettes: The Filling Lunch Option

Baguettes are the most substantial cold lunch at Greggs — longer, fuller, and more filling than a sandwich. They are the right pick when lunch needs to last until dinner.

Every baguette, with prices

Roast Chicken Mayonnaise Baguette — £3.80. The most affordable baguette and a safe, classic choice.
Tandoori Chicken Baguette — £3.85. Only 5p more, with a spiced edge that makes it more interesting than plain chicken mayo.
Mexican Chicken Baguette — £3.85. A spiced alternative; note it may be seasonal or rotational, so it is not in every shop.
Mature Cheddar Cheese Salad Baguette — £3.90. The vegetarian baguette, and a genuinely good one rather than a token option.
Tuna Crunch Baguette — £3.90. Crunchy, filling, and a break from chicken.
Ham and Cheese Baguette — £4.00. The classic deli combination, done properly.
Spicy Chipotle Chicken Baguette — £4.00. For anyone who wants heat without paying the top price.
Roast Chicken and Bacon Club Baguette — £4.10. Chicken, bacon, the works — the most loaded baguette on the menu.
Buffalo Chicken Baguette — £4.10. A new autumn 2026 arrival, matching the club baguette at the top of the price range.

The value sweet spot is the roast chicken mayonnaise at £3.80: the cheapest baguette, and chicken mayo is hard to spoil. If you want the most food for the money, the club baguette at £4.10 gives you two proteins for only 30p more. For the baked side of lunch, our savouries and bakes page covers the sausage roll at £1.35 and the steak bake at £1.85.

Greggs Sandwiches and Rolls: The Affordable Picks

If a baguette feels like too much, the sandwiches and rolls are lighter and cheaper — and they hold the best bargains on the whole lunch menu.

Sandwiches

Tuna Mayonnaise & Cucumber Sandwich — £2.60. The cheapest lunch item in the cold range, full stop.
Free Range Egg Mayo Sandwich — £2.65. Vegetarian, classic, and only 5p more than the tuna.
Roast Chicken Salad Sandwich — £3.10. The chicken option in sandwich form.
BLT Sandwich — £3.10. Bacon, lettuce, tomato — a proper sandwich at a fair price.

Rolls

Cheese & Onion Roll — £3.85. A vegetarian roll with real flavour.
Tuna Crunch Roll — £3.90. The roll version of the tuna crunch baguette, at the same price as its baguette sibling.
Honey Roast Ham and Egg Salad Roll — £3.90. Two fillings, one roll, and a good middle-ground lunch.

Notice the pattern: sandwiches are the budget tier (£2.60–£3.10), rolls sit in the middle (£3.85–£3.90), and baguettes are the premium tier (£3.80–£4.10). If you are watching spending, a £2.60 tuna and cucumber sandwich plus a drink is a complete lunch for not much more than a coffee elsewhere.

Greggs Wraps, Flatbreads and Oval Bites

Beyond the standard formats, Greggs has three items that break the sandwich-versus-baguette mould — and they include some of the best items on the menu.

Chipotle Chicken Flatbread — £4.05. Flatbread makes this feel lighter than a baguette while still being filling, and chipotle gives it a smoky heat.
Mature Cheddar Cheese Ploughmans Oval Bite — £4.05. The vegetarian oval bite: cheese, pickle-style accompaniments, and a more interesting bread than a standard roll.
Roast Chicken & Honey Mustard Mayo Oval Bite — £4.20. Joint-most expensive cold lunch item, and the honey mustard mayo is the difference-maker.
Sweet & Spicy Chicken Oval Bite — £4.20. The other top-priced item, for anyone who likes sweet heat.

Oval bites are the newest format on the menu and the most expensive per item, but they are also the most distinctive — if you have tried every baguette and want something different, start here.

Greggs Lunch Deals: How to Pay Less

Buying a sandwich alone is rarely the cheapest way to lunch at Greggs. The meal deals change the maths, and they are worth checking before you pay:

Cold Sandwich Deal (two-part) — from £3.75. A selected cold sandwich plus a cold or regular hot drink. If your sandwich costs £3.10 and a drink would be £2 or more on its own, this deal wins easily.
Core Lunch Deal — £4.25. A sandwich, baguette or roll, plus a snack (crisps, fruit pot or yoghurt) and a hot or cold drink. This is the full lunch in one price, and the best deal for most people.
The Big Deal — from £5.25. Any main, hot or cold — including steak bakes, goujons and hot baguettes — plus a side and a drink. Worth it when you want a hot main rather than a cold sandwich.

Worked example: a roast chicken and bacon club baguette (£4.10) on its own, plus a snack and a drink bought separately, will almost always cost more than the £4.25 Core Lunch Deal, which bundles all three. The deal is the default right answer for a full lunch; buying items separately only wins when you genuinely do not want a snack or a drink. Our guide to Greggs versus Pret and Costa shows how far ahead Greggs sits on price even before deals are counted.

Vegetarian and Lighter Lunch Picks

Vegetarian options are spread across every format, which is better than a single token item. The mature cheddar cheese salad baguette (£3.90), the free range egg mayo sandwich (£2.65), the cheese and onion roll (£3.85) and the mature cheddar cheese ploughmans oval bite (£4.05) cover baguette, sandwich, roll and oval bite respectively. For a lighter lunch, pair any sandwich with a fruit pot — the melon and grape fruit pot and the apple and strawberry fruit pot are both £1.50, and the apple and strawberry pot is just 43 kcal, the lightest item on the menu.

Tips for a Better Greggs Lunch

First, decide your format before you queue: sandwich for budget, baguette for filling, oval bite for something different. Second, always price the deal — the Core Lunch Deal at £4.25 beats separate items for most full lunches. Third, remember the tier pricing: the same £3.80 baguette costs more at a station or airport shop, so a high-street branch is the value play. Fourth, check availability — popular baguettes sell out by early afternoon in busy shops. Finally, eating in adds 20% VAT, so takeaway keeps lunch at the prices quoted here.
