Mince Pie Fest 2025: M&S Collection

These pies have a big initial hit of citrus, juicy and orangey and very nice indeed, although it does somewhat overpower the other flavours. The pastry is a bit too soft and sweet and gets a bit claggy as you chew, which muddies the lovely taste of the filling. They are a little on the small side for such expensive pies too. 3 out of 5.

  1. I am definitely digging this year's reviews! (And keeping an eye out for the day you happen upon one that is accidentally vegan...!)

      The Infinity Foods Bakery mince pies are vegan. They were in last year's Mince Pie Fest. Alas, a very local phenomenon. Waitrose have some vegan mince pies

    Waitrose have vegan mince pies, and then of course there are the Infinity Foods Bakery mince pies.

    1. Thank you! As you alluded to above, my location in the States makes acquisition a little trickier. I'm not giving up all hope though...!
