Greggs’ new chicken roll launches nationwide on April 9. It will cost £1.35, which is the same price as the original, with the same flaky, glazed puff pastry, the same long and cylindrical shape. The only difference is chicken in place of pork (and 33 fewer calories). Any good, then? It’s absolutely fine; totally serviceable. The flavour isn’t worlds away from that of a chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle or a bag of Walker’s roast chicken crisps. A valid energy boost for commuters rushing to catch a train. A not unpleasant hot snack. And there we have it.
