Greggs' sales in 2018 have topped £1 billion for the first time, while the launch of its vegan sausage roll has helped sales surge in 2019.

The British bakery chain posted a 15% rise in pre-tax profits to £82.6 million in 2018, with sales rising 7.2% to just over £1 billion.

It also said the publicity of the snack helped sales surge 9.6% in the seven weeks to 16 February.

Greggs said while the first half of 2018 was impacted by extreme weather, it was able to bounce back and perform ahead of expectations.
