A traditional alehouse saved from demolition the Wenlock Arms rests quietly upon the canal in Hoxton. Its reviews boast descriptions such as ‘proper boozer’, ‘traditional old-fashioned pub’ and even declarations such as ‘There aren’t [sic] many pubs left in London like this so visit while you can!’.  

Along with their lively pub atmosphere they also boast a cracking vegan sausage roll. One of literally four options on their menu, so to make the cut, they must be delicious.

So of course, we had to go and try the Greggs vegan sausage roll out for ourselves. Three things became immediately clear. First, we love Greggs, second, it's an economic option, since you can buy it for the mouthwatering price of one English pound, and third, God bless this roll's traditional flakiness, beigeness and deliciosity. We're on to a winner. 

Greggs, everywhere there is still goodness left in the world.
