Jade Thirlwall threatened to 'riot' over Greggs sausage and bean melt as its brought back to menu

Jade Thirlwall threatened to 'kick' off with Greggs over their sausage, bean and cheese melt before it made a much celebrated return to the menu.

Like many regular customers of the Newcastle born bakers, Jade is a huge fan of the sausage and bean melt so was left appalled that it was pulled off shelves with no warning towards the end of last year.

And, while the arrival of Greggs' famous Festive Bake took the heat over its absence, once the Christmas period was done with, pastry lovers demanded to know when the melt would be back.

Earlier this week, Greggs took to Instagram and Twitter to tease that a delicacy was making its return writing: "The comeback you've been waiting for... 2 days to go."

And, swift to react to the preview, South Shields star Jade snapped: "This better be the sausage been cheese melt or I'm guna kick off hun."

Many others shared Jade's sentiments before Greggs prompted great delight by confirming on Thursday that it was indeed the sausage and bean melt that was making a comeback for 2022.

There has been some confusion over the fact that the vegan version of the melt, which was launched to great fanfare last year, hasn't returned alongside the traditional option.

Explaining to one aggrieved customer that it wouldn't be back yet, Greggs responded: "Our Vegan Sausage & Bean Melt is having a well-deserved rest, but watch this space – our Retail Team are always taking customer feedback on board, and this may not be a permanent decision!"

Other regular Greggs customers sought answers on if the steak and cheese roll and macaroni pie would be back and received a similar response.
