Large Christmas Pudding

Our 950g Christmas pudding is suitable for 8-10 people. It’s been traditionally matured in a Mason Cash ceramic basin and wrapped with a cotton pudding cloth and swing tag.

Steeped in 10-year-old Somerset Cider Brandy and Hanlon’s Port Stout our Christmas pudding provides the perfect finale to your Christmas dinner. Find out more.

The bowl is 10cm tall and has a diameter of 16.5cm. Mason Cash ceramic basins have been in kitchens for generations, the perfect bowl for steaming puddings. Reusable after Christmas.

Ale and Brandy

Arguably the most important ingredients when it comes to the flavour of a fine Christmas Pudding! The sweetness of the Port in Hanlon’s Port Stout, and the delicate flavour of the Somerset Cider Brandy, are a delightful combination.

Vine fruits

There are a lot of cheap imports available these days, but of course you still get what you pay for, so we go for the best, such as Californian raisins which are sun-dried on the vine. The high quality fruits are richer in flavour, softer in texture and not gritty like some of their cheaper counterparts.

Cherries

Our glace cherries are coloured with fruit juices and as a result have a deep burgundy colour and soft texture that blends beautifully with the rest of the pudding during the maturation process. A far cry from the cheap and nasty, bright red ones!

Breadcrumbs

We make all our breadcrumbs by hand, using fresh bread from the Crusty Cob bakery just a couple of miles down the road from us. They use none of the ‘extras’ you’ll find in a lot of modern bread – just flour, water, yeast and salt!

Fresh fruit

Our apples are UK Bramleys, and we buy our carrots from a local greengrocer. Our orange and lemon is all freshly squeezed and zested by a local company and is not from concentrate.
