Who ate all the pies?

Whoever is the luckiest if they are Dickinson and Morris pork pies! Made in Melton Mowbray for over 160 years, they certainly know a thing or two about making a great pie. Using with fresh British pork, seasoned to perfection and then wrapped in a rich but light crumbly pastry before baking, the result is the perfect pie and perfect for cold suppers over the Christmas season. Luxury wicker hampers are available as well as many combinations and selections to be ordered online.

Christmas Ice Cream

If you fancy having ice cream delivered to you at home or even the office, why not give Taywell Ice Cream a try? Their special Christmas range of flavours include Christmas Pudding and Mince Pie as well as Baileys and a XXX Rum and Raisin with more than a healthy kick of rum!
