Greggs and the Daily Star have partnered to launch a competition offering readers the chance to win free lunch for a year. The promotion, which celebrates the summer “Quicknic” concept, features 25 prizes and aims to provide convenient meal options during the ongoing heatwave season.

The Quicknic is a simplified picnic option designed for people seeking a quick break from work without the need for traditional picnic preparations such as hampers and blankets. Available exclusively in Greggs stores, the Quicknic includes a selection of freshly prepared baguettes paired with a savory roll, starting at £4.75. The baguette options include Chicken Club and Ham and Cheese, while the roll choices feature the traditional Sausage Roll as well as a Vegan Roll and a Chicken Roll, catering to varied dietary preferences.

Greggs has emphasized that the Quicknic offer is based on a scientific formula that determines when weather conditions are suitable, allowing customers to enjoy a convenient and portable lunch during warmer days. The initiative reflects Greggs’ broader commitment to providing accessible lunch options throughout the year.

To enter the competition, participants must scan a QR code or visit the Daily Star’s website. Entry closes at 23:45 on Sunday, August 16, 2026. Greggs also encourages customers to follow its social media accounts and download its app to stay informed about the Quicknic deal availability in their area during August.

This promotion combines the appeal of convenient, freshly prepared food with the excitement of a prize that could provide daily lunches for an extended period, enhancing Greggs’ presence as a go-to choice for quick midday meals.
