Greggs has become a British institution. I first came across the home of the quintessential sausage roll in Newcastle when I was a student there in the early nineties, and then they seemed to follow me when I moved to Manchester, Oxford and then London. Now they are everywhere, an iconic British staple, they even appeared in a car crash in the Fast And Furious franchise. And as of this week, get a mention โ if not an appearance โ in Marvel Comics' Blood Hunt tie-in comic, Union Jack The Ripper.
