A pair of Greggs customers were left “devastated” after purchasing one of the bakery chain’s breakfast pasties, only to discover it was missing half the filling.

Ava Murphy, 20, and her partner Kyran Tobin Lewis, 21, from Chepstow, Wales, were looking forward to a Greggs sausage, beans and baked cheese when they realized the pastry only contained half of the ingredients described .

The couple had bought the cake for £2.20 at their local Greggs and initially thought it was “a little empty”.

Despite feeling a little skeptical, Kyran returned home with the baked treat.

But when it came time to eat, the couple quickly became hysterical after biting into the pie and discovering it was only half full, with just two slices of pale sausage.

The treat is supposed to contain a tasty mix of baked beans, Greggs sausage balls and melted cheese, all wrapped in a pillow of golden puff pastry.

In a video taken by the couple, Ava can be heard laughing uncontrollably as the two look at the empty-looking Greggs cake.

Captioning a video posted on social media, the couple wrote: “It’s not every day you order a sausage, beans and cheese and this is what you get.” Greggs, we are devastated.”

Ava, who works as a teaching assistant, said: “My partner said when we left the shop ‘it feels a bit empty.’

It comes after Greggs fans were left furious by the skyrocketing price of the bakery’s beloved sausage roll.

The bakery chain has raised the price of its classic savory pie by 5p, meaning it now costs £1.30.

It is the second increase in less than a year and the cost rose from £1.20 to £1.25 in July. A cup of coffee will now also cost you £1.70.

Overall, the price of a Greggs sausage roll has shot up a staggering 30 per cent since 2022, when it cost just £1.

Hungry customers at the Shields Road branch in Newcastle criticized the popular bakery chain, which has also raised the price of coffee from £1.60 to £1.70.

Linda Johnson, 74, a retired quality control inspector, said: “It now costs £3.90 for four sausage rolls.” I wouldn’t pay that, I would tell them to do it.

‘A sausage roll used to cost £1, now it’s £1.30. I know everyone is watching their pennies, but the whole point of Greggs is that it’s cheap and cheerful.

‘I normally give the correct change but when I went to pay they told me the prices had gone up. I bought a coffee that costs between £1.60 and £1.70.

“It’s still cheaper than supermarket coffee or other big brands, so I’ll keep going there.”

Following the announcement of Labour’s tax raid budget, the much-loved high street bakery warned it could result in increased costs.

The chain said that “employment costs will result in higher overall cost inflation, although wage increases should provide support to consumers.”

Greggs was one of more than 70 businesses who wrote to Chancellor Rachel Reeves last year to warn her that changes announced in October’s Budget meant price rises were a “certainty”.

The London-listed company added on Thursday: “Greggs has demonstrated its ability to mitigate cost inflation in recent years by maintaining its value leadership, and we are confident we can continue to do so.”

It comes as Greggs’ fourth quarter sales grew by 2.5%, pointing to a “more challenging market environment” in the second half of the year.

The result for the quarter ending in December means Greggs made £2 billion in annual revenue for the first time in 2024, an increase of 11.3% compared to 2023.

But sales, including its famous sausage rolls and festive cakes over the Christmas period, lagged behind the previous quarter’s 5% growth.

Chief executive Roisin Currie said lower consumer confidence “continues to impact footfall and high street spending”.

But he added: “Our value-for-money offering and the quality of our freshly prepared food and drink position us well to weather the headwinds we expect to see in the coming year, and we remain confident in the significant long-term opportunity. term for growth.’
