Greggs fish finger sandwich launching this week - but there's a catch

Greggs has announced the latest addition to its menu will drop later this week. A fish finger sandwich and wrap will be available in stores from Thursday, May 23 - but there's a catch.

The lightly battered cod fillet fish, dressed with iceberg lettuce inside a soft-corned top roll will cost £3.90 and come with a choice of ketchup or mayonnaise. A wrap version will also be available, priced at £3.70, the lettuce swapped for mixed leaves, cucumber and a dollop of mayo.

Fans were excited when Greggs teased the news earlier today, with some saying it was "an actual dream". However many will be disappointed as the it will only be available in selected stores in the North East.
