The sausage roll is a Newcastle firm's, and the shelf it sits on in Glasgow is not the shelf you get in England. Greggs sells the Haggis Pie only in its Scottish shops and the Pineapple Cake only in the Glasgow ones. When it dropped the macaroni pie in 2015, the campaign to bring it back reached First Minister's Questions.

producer · Newcastle upon Tyne, and most Glasgow high streets
What they make
- The sausage roll. The eleven-in-the-morning order, sold in every shop the company trades from.
- Haggis Pie. Sold in the Scottish shops and nowhere else in the estate.
- Pineapple Cake. Greggs calls this one exclusive to its Glasgow shops.
- The macaroni pie. Dropped in 2015 and not brought back, so do not go looking for it.
