Bakery Creates World’s Fastest Christmas Dinner
Above: The world's fastest Christmas Dinner? Crantock Bakery's Turkey & Cranberry pasty.
Busy shoppers can get their Christmas food fix in record time with the launch of the latest seasonal product from a Cornish bakery.
Dubbed “the world’s fastest Christmas dinner”, Crantock Bakery’s ‘Turkey and Cranberry’ pasty packs in the key elements that make up the biggest meal of the year.
The pasty, which goes on sale from 1st November, combines tender turkey breast with mixed vegetables, sage and onion stuffing, cranberries and cranberry sauce - all encased in a hand-crimped flaky pastry crust.
“The run up to Christmas is one of the busiest times on the high street, and our Turkey and Cranberry pasty gives shoppers a taste of the festive season without the wait,” said Crantock Bakery’s Becky Hornabrook, who has spent weeks refining the recipe.
“Cornish pasties are the ultimate food on the move, so instead of waiting hours for a 20lb turkey to defrost people can enjoy the taste of Christmas in minutes - with none of the stress of the big day itself.”
And for those who can’t wait until November to get their fix, the Newquay firm’s recently-launched ‘Roast Chicken Dinner’ pasty is already on sale in over 300 independent bakeries throughout the country.
Forming part of Crantock’s well-received ‘Best of British’ range, the pasty is an entire meal, containing roast chicken, stuffing, swede, potato, peas, carrots - and gravy - in shortcrust pastry.
The 283g Turkey and Cranberry pasty will be available for trade and wholesale customers from 1st November in cases of 36 pasties. The Roast Chicken Dinner pasty is available from now until the end of December, in cases of 36 x 250g pasties.
To order contact the Crantock Bakery sales team on 01726 861120 or email enquiries@crantockbakery.co.uk.
Crantock Bakery’s pasties, sausage rolls and hand-raised pies are sold all over the country in branches of Morrisons, Asda, Proper Pasty, Cornish Kitchen and many independent bakeries.
