GREGGS has made a major change to its menu - but there's a catch.
The bakery chain has added 11 new items to its menu, including hot yum yums and loaded wedges.
Each of the new additions are to its hot food offering.
Nine of the items are only being trialled at a select nine stores at the moment, meaning not everyone can get them right now.
The new menu additions, include three different Crispy Chicken Ciabatta Rolls, coming in BBQ, Hot & Spicy and Mayo varieties.

Also part of the trial three chicken wraps – a BBQ Chicken and Bacon Wrap, Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap and a Hot & Spicy Chicken Wrap.
Meanwhile, as part of the trial customers can take their Southern Fried Potato Wedges up a notch, with Loaded Wedges topped with either Chicken Katsu, BBQ Chicken or fiery Vegan Chilli.
Two of the new items have been added to the menu after successfully being trialled at shops over recent months.
That means that you can now get the hot yum yums and cookies at your local Greggs.
A Greggs spokesperson said: “We are always exploring new opportunities to expand our menu and hot to-go offering, providing even more choice and variety throughout the day and as we extend our later opening hours across shops.
"We are currently trialling this menu in a small number of shops as we look to test its popularity before we expand across more shops later in the year.”
