GET FESTIVE WITH FITZBILLIES

Christmas has truly landed at iconic Cambridge bakery Fitzbillies, with the launch of a new collection jam-packed with treats. For the first time ever, its beloved Chelsea buns are now available in a special seasonal Christmas tree shape, made up of ten buns and designed to tear and share. “Our buns have always been popular at Christmas, but it’s the first time we’ve decided to make them in a different shape. As soon as we put the Chelsea bun Christmas trees on the website, the orders started coming in, so we think they’re going to be a hit,” says Gill Abbs, head baker at Fitzbillies for 52 years. Other seasonal delicacies include a classic Christmas cake decorated with an image of King’s College Chapel, which is also seen on its delicious gingerbread alongside a depiction of the historic shopfront. Find mince pies, Christmas puddings and a host of goods to delight any chocoholic. Visit fitzbillies.com to browse the selection and make your order now, either for local collection or nationwide delivery.

The festive period at The Pheasant promises an enchanting dining experience. This charming countryside pub nestled in the picturesque village of Great Chishill exudes a warm and welcoming ambience, complete with a crackling fire – the perfect backdrop for a winter dinner. The menu features the finest flavours, with traditional fare such as roast venison, duck and pheasant. Mike and his team will ensure all diners have memorable meals, where friends and family can come together to enjoy the true spirit of the season. COSY UP FOR CHRISTMAS
