Hold onto your pastry and grab a napkin, because your taste buds are about to experience the unthinkable. The two undisputed titans of the high street, KFC and Greggs, have just unleashed the culinary crossover of the century. Flakey Greggs Sausage Rolls drenched in iconic KFC Gravy. It’s the mash-up the nation’s been craving, and it’s seriously flavoursome.
This powerhouse partnership is a direct response to Britain’s insatiable appetite for the iconic match we never dared dream of, but secretly craved… In the past year, Brits dunked, dipped and drizzled their way through a staggering 15,000 litres of Gravy and an astonishing 1 million Greggs Sausage Rolls every single day. As a nation obsessed with Gravy and Sausage Rolls, it was only a matter of time before KFC and Greggs joined forces to put the two together to create something truly irresistible.
With London, Newcastle and Manchester crowned the UK’s undisputed champions of Gravy and Sausage Rolls, KFC and Greggs are hitting the road together to deliver the ultimate mash-up to their most beloved fans before anyone else.
From 7th August, KFC and Greggs’ popular food vans will embark on a three-day tour across London, Manchester and Newcastle – serving up free Greggs Sausage Rolls generously doused in KFC’s golden Gravy. Whether you’re a longtime Greggs-goer or a KFC Gravy believer, this is one tour you absolutely won’t want to miss. Fans can get their hands on this iconic combo, plus a limited amount of exclusive KFC and Greggs bucket hats, at:
Southbank Centre, London – Thursday 7th August, 12–5pm
Cathedral Gardens, Manchester – Friday 8th August – 12-5pm
Times Square, Newcastle – Saturday 9th August, 12–5pm
But enthusiasts don’t need to worry if they miss out, as next week on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th August, Greggs and KFC devotees across the nation will be in with a second chance of sampling this once in a lifetime mashup. The Gravy Meets Pastry bespoke sharing bucket (£10) will be available to order exclusively via Uber Eats in London, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham. Each limited-edition sharing bucket will be adorned with a bespoke mashup of the two brand’s logos alongside a ‘Gravy Meets Pastry’ slogan and will include six of Greggs’ golden Sausage Rolls and a large pot of iconic KFC Gravy.
Phoebe Syms, Brand Manager at KFC UK&I, said: “At KFC, we bleed Gravy. We go to obsessive lengths for our liquid gold, and so do our fans. In fact, it was them who inspired this once in a lifetime event, calling for us to partner with Greggs and unite our iconic Gravy with their iconic Sausage Rolls. Now we’re joining forces for just a few days to give the people a taste of what they really want… it’s time for Gravy to meet Pastry. You’re welcome.”
