Roasted Turkey: No Christmas feast is complete without turkey. Our shredded roasted turkey slices are succulent and tender, adding a touch of meaty tradition to each slice.
Pigs in Blankets: Everybody’s favourite Christmas accompaniment. After roasting to perfection, we slice to give the perfect sausage/bacon cross section .
Roast Potatoes: A few small pieces of Maris Piper roasted in duck fat until crispy .
Brussel Sprouts: Yes, you read that right! Brussel sprouts add a fresh, earthy crunch that perfectly complements the other toppings. They’re a surprising addition that elevates the entire pizza experience. We shred ours finely and blanch in boiling water to prevent burning during cooking.
A Dash of Joy: The final touch consists of a few squirts of pureed cranberry sauce and a sprinkling of roast chestnuts.
