Greggs, Domino's, KFC and McDonald's All Have New Menus. Here's Every Item.

Here's the take, up front: four of Britain's biggest chains changed their menus inside five days, and only one of them is treating autumn as a season rather than a slot in the calendar.

Greggs went on Thursday, Domino's goes on Monday, and McDonald's and KFC have both been quietly rebuilding parts of their menus through the last few weeks. Twenty-six new items between them. Here's all of it.

Greggs Actually Committed

Greggs put out eight items on 3 September, and it's the only one of the four that reads as a coherent autumn menu rather than a rotation.

The Steak & Stilton Bake is back. Diced beef in gravy with blue Stilton and grilled onions, in glazed puff pastry with a black pepper crumb on top so it's tellable from the standard Steak Bake at a glance. It returns every autumn and disappears before Christmas, and it's the closest thing Greggs has to the Festive Bake outside December.

The genuinely new part is buffalo. The Buffalo Chicken Baguette puts buffalo style chicken mayonnaise with Mature Cheddar and red onion in a baguette, and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza takes the same filling onto the focaccia base, from £2.70 a slice as at September 2026. Doing one filling two ways is standard Greggs practice, and it's why their menu expands faster than anyone else's.

The Chicken & Pepperoni Pizza Toastie is the oddest thing on any of these menus. Chicken in pizza sauce, Cheddar and pepperoni between sourdough-style bread, then béchamel and grated cheese baked onto the outside. A toastie with a second cheese layer on top of it is closer to a croque monsieur than to anything else in the cabinet.

Then the sweet end: the Pumpkin Spice Latte returns with a new salted caramel drizzle, alongside the Pumpkin Spice Doughnut, a new Bonfire Toffee Muffin with burnt toffee filling, and a new Iced Caramel Chocolate.

Bonfire toffee is the interesting choice there. It's a hard, dark, treacle-heavy sweet tied to Bonfire Night in early November, so building a muffin around it commits to a genuinely narrow window in a way pumpkin spice, which now starts in August, long ago stopped doing.

Domino's Goes on Monday

Three items, on sale from Monday 7 September.

The Honey Chilli Chicken is built on pulled chicken thigh rather than the diced breast Domino's usually uses, marinated in garlic, ginger and chilli, with peppers and red onion and a hot honey drizzle over the top. Hot honey has been on the Domino's menu for a while on two pepperoni pizzas, and this is the first time it's been put with chicken.

The Twisted Dough Balls Biscoff & White Chocolate are six dough balls with Biscoff crumb and melted white chocolate, sold as a dessert rather than a starter, which is a change of role for a format Domino's has always used at the front of the meal.

And a Ranch Dip, buttermilk and sour cream with parsley and garlic. Ranch has been standard at Domino's in America for years while Britain went without, so it turning up as its own announced item rather than quietly appearing in a sides list tells you how long people have been asking.

KFC Rebuilt the Boneless Menu

KFC's changes came in June and are permanent, which is why they've had less attention than a four-week promotion.

Original Recipe Tenders put the eleven herbs and spices coating on boneless strips for the first time, sold in threes, fives and tens. Around them KFC put nine dips straight onto the core menu: Sweet Teriyaki, Hot Honey Habanero, Honey Mustard, Texas BBQ, Original Sauce, Jalapeño Ranch, Supercharger, Garlic Parm and Mango Masala.

Nine is a lot. Most chains carry three or four, so the sauce becomes part of the order rather than something you accept at the counter. The Supercharger is the one worth noting: it's the mayo that has defined the Zinger Supercharger Tower Burger for years, now sold in a pot on its own.

McDonald's Kept Rotating

Seven items, all limited-time, and the most conventional set of the four.

Black Pepper & Garlic McNuggets are the headline, in 6, 9 and 20-piece, peppery rather than chilli-hot and served with a sweet and sour dip. The 6-piece is £5.59 as at September 2026.

Cheesy Potato Bites join the sides at £3.09, or £7.59 for a 15-piece Sharebox, pushed alongside the new Fiery Buffalo Dip. The Big Arch with Bacon is £10.19. On the sweet side there's the Candy Crush Choco McFlurry at £2.79, plus two Sprite Zero mixes, the Sour Cherry Fizz at £2.59 and the Green Apple X Sprite Zero.

All Twenty-Six

KFC is the outlier and it's the one that matters most. Everyone else is renting attention for a few weeks. KFC changed what's permanently on the board, and permanent items are the only ones that accumulate a reputation.

Greggs is the one I'd back to be remembered anyway, because a menu that arrives with the weather and leaves before Christmas builds an annual habit that a six-week promotion never does.

Most of This Has a Clock on It

The Greggs autumn range goes when winter does. The McDonald's items are all limited time. Only the KFC additions are staying.

That's the case for calling it now rather than in November. The cards above are live and they write straight to the UK fast food ranking, which is settled by people who actually ate the thing rather than by whoever bought the most coverage in launch week.

The pizza toastie is the one I want settled first. Genuinely good, or a step too far?
