A whopping two thirds (66%) set their hearts on Christmas pudding. So we have answered our customers’ wishes with the first ever Poppies Christmas Pudding, a merry marvellous addition to the menu. The rich flavours of the Christmas pudding are perfectly complemented by the crispy, crunchy Poppies batter. Both British staples come together to make an irresistible and memorable Christmas treat.”
