Merry Mince Pies

This Christmas, Poppies welcomes the ultimate party pastry to the menu… the mince pie! But, as tradition dictates, it will be given a delicious Poppies makeover with a joyously warm and crispy coat of batter! In recent years we’ve taken all sorts of classic Christmas foods and given them the Poppies treatment using Pops’ secret batter recipe. From sweet treats like Quality Street and Ferrero Rocher to King of all Christmas veg, the Brussels Sprout. This year, we’ve gone for Santa’s favourite fireside treat, and we can’t wait for you to try it. Bite through the warm, crispy coat to melt in the mouth all butter shortcrust pastry and a rich filling made of a mixture of vine fruits, cranberries, clementine and mild spices. The big man in red is desperate to get his hands on one but he’s going to have to wait until Christmas Eve. Anyone else, naughty or nice, will be able to get their hands on one exclusively from Poppies Soho between the 11th and the 25th of December. Each portion of 3 costs £4.75. Don’t delay, come and try this delicious deep-fried dessert before Father Christmas comes to Town!

What makes Poppies chips so good?

Golden and crispy on the outside. Light and fluffy on the inside. And made from potatoes grown right here in the UK. On his 5,000-acre farm in the Norfolk–Cambridgeshire fens, farmer Pete Legge grows exceptional potatoes in rich, fertile soil perfect for producing that classic chippy texture and flavour.
