Among the new additions is the Pigs Under Blankets Toastie, combining smoked sweetcure bacon, pork sausage and Cheddar cheese with cranberry and red onion relish. The filling is served in sourdough white bread, topped with béchamel sauce and a blend of cheeses.

Moving away from traditional Christmas dinner flavours, the Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey adds a spicy-sweet option. The focaccia-style pizza is topped with cheese, pizza sauce, jalapeños and red onion, finished with sweet hot honey.
