Planning to bake your own?

A little help choosing

Make it your Christmas.

01 / READY-MADE PIES

Check back
for the real thing.

We have not put unavailable mince pies into this page as if you could buy them. When a confirmed, orderable range is ready, this is where it will appear.

02 / BAKE YOUR OWN

Start with mincemeat.

Mrs Darlington’s Marvellous Mincemeat with Brandy is currently open for Christmas pre-order. Read the product label, ingredients and allergens before choosing it for your baking.

03 / FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS BASKET

Keep the timing clear.

An order containing pre-order mincemeat waits until it arrives. If you want in-stock tea, biscuits or chocolate sooner, place those in a separate order.

A proper Christmas.
