An Edinburgh seasonal favourite.

Roberta Hall-McCarron’s Christmas Pie is a festive showstopper: a rich, braised beef creation perfected on Great British Menu and now a seasonal favourite at her Edinburgh restaurants, Ardfern, Eleonore and The Little Chartroom.


The filling features slow-braised beef shin and ox cheek, with caramelised onion chicken mousse, and ox tongue. It feeds 4-6 and is double egg-washed for that perfect finish.

Collection only on Christmas Eve from Ardfern, Edinburgh between 9am and 2pm. Only 50 pies. Order online at Ardfern.
