Greggs wins court battle to sell late night sausage rolls in Leicester Square

Roisin Currie, CEO at Greggs, confirmed the baker has reached a compromise with Westminster Council

Greggs has won the battle to serve late night partygoers piping hot sausage rolls and steak bakes at its flagship Leicester Square store.

The High Street bakery was refused permission to stay open from 11pm to 5am to sell hot food and drinks in its central London location by Westminster Council.

The Met Police argued the location would become a hotspot for “crime and disorder” and the council branded Greggs’ idea “half-baked”.
