The brand recently forayed into the vegan market with a vegan version of a classic sausage roll in response to increased consumer demands for meat-free options.

“We are incredibly excited to launch our first ever vegan product, after receiving lots of feedback from fans following the launch of our extended vegetarian range in 2019,” said Holcroft at the time of the launch.
