Oh, you’re feeling bougie? Greggs got you. They do a puff pastry version, sometimes with cheese or a bit of tomato under the pastry. The price? Maybe £1.50.
That extra 30p buys you a slightly warmer, slightly shinier roll. Some say it’s “superior.” I say it’s still a sausage roll, and I’m not turning my nose up at either.
Then there’s the vegan one. Yes, the vegan sausage roll changed the world. It costs about £1.20 too. Same price. Same flake. Same ethical glow. You can eat three and feel superior to everyone.

The real cost is the tiny flakes of pastry that will follow you home. They’ll be in your car. On your keyboard. In your hair two days later. That’s pastry commitment.
But for £1.20? Worth every flake. You can buy a lint roller for a quid. You’re still in profit.
