Launched today, the new chicken roll is adequate. Mellow yellow pasty, not flaky, not buttery. Lots of air/space inside the roll. Chicken bland, slightly squeaky without much flavour. A far blander version than the OG pork sausage roll which is just as heavenly as it always has been (I tasted them both this morning). Not bad, but not interesting either, which is probably the point of it, not everything has to knock our flavour socks off.

I was commissioned by The Independent to review it in full (paywall, sorry) and talk about the cultural impact of Greggs. No gifting or PR involvement, other than an email to confirm availability time today.
