GREGGS has launched ‘a vegan friendly’ version of an old customer favourite-the sausage role.

Kendal and Ulverston are among the chosen with 900 other stores across the nation to sell the product.

The new roll is being sold during Veganuary, a movement that encourages people to embrace plant-based diets during January.

Filled with Quorn and covered in 96 layers of puff pastry, the vegan version still has some ‘classic features’ of the traditional sausage roll.

The launch follows a petition by PETA which was signed by more than 20,000 people.
