Vanilla flavour fairy bun with fondant icing, sprinkles and sugar paste plaque.
The £1.40 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Greggs, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About Greggs Novelty Bun
How to order Novelty Bun at Greggs
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Greggs app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Sweet Treats. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
Greggs Novelty Bun price in 2026
The Greggs Novelty Bun price in 2026 is £1.40 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Greggs, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Sweet Treats section that puts it 3rd of 21 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Where it sits on price
2 items cost less than this one in the Sweet Treats section and 18 cost more, out of 21 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Sugar Strand Doughnut at £1.60, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Protein for the calories
It gives 0.8g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 3.9g across everything we hold for Greggs. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 22nd of 24 in its section.
Sugar in plain terms
18g of sugar works out at roughly 5 teaspoons. The adult reference intake is 90g a day and the NHS free sugars guideline is tighter at 30g, so one of these covers a real portion of either figure.
What 196 kcal means here
196 kcal is a little below the Sweet Treats average. On its own it is a small addition to a day rather than a meal. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Pro Tips for Ordering Novelty Bun
Ordering it
The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at Greggs rather than an awkward one.
Allergens declared
Greggs declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs and milk. It also lists sulphites (sulphur dioxide) as a possible trace, meaning Greggs cannot rule that out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Finding it near you
We list 174 Greggs branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Glasgow postcode area holding the most at 27. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Greggs app confirms it in seconds.
