David Stacey, managing director of Stacey’s, said: “We wanted to allow everyone to enjoy the Stacey's classic that is our savoury roll, even if they are not meat-eaters!

“We want to help broaden the choices that are out there for those people, adding generations of Stacey's expertise, with no compromise on taste.

“So far, feedback has been pretty good.”
