Greggs has come under fire after reports it has "quietly hiked" the price of its mince pies by almost 25 per cent since last Christmas . Bakery fans have branded Greggs “greedy” after it increased the cost of the popular pastry treat from 65p each to 80p.

The Sun first reported the rise after comparing prices in Greggs shops in Doncaster, Middlesbrough, Glasgow and Tiverton, Devon compared to last year.

The newspaper also noted how some Greggs branches in London have hiked the price of mince pies from 80p to 95p. In a post on Facebook, one person complained: “Greggs are getting greedy.” Another said: “We can’t have anything nice in this country.”
