Greggs says the price of some of its baked goods and sandwiches will go up on Thursday as the country’s biggest bakery chain attempts to offset rising employment costs while grappling with sluggish sales.
Roisin Currie, chief executive, said some items on its menu, such as the empire biscuit, will go up by 5p while customers will also pay more for its breakfast deals.
The two-part breakfast deal, including a roll and a drink, will rise from £2.95 to £3.15. The three-part version, which also includes a side order such as a yoghurt pot or hash browns, will rise from £3.95 to £4.15.

Currie said that while the company was committed to doing “everything we can to keep prices as low as possible … we are operating in an inflationary environment.”
