Pies, tarts, and cakes galore: inside the Booths Christmas range for 2023

High-end supermarket chain Booths has kept things traditional for Christmas 2023 with mince pies, quiches, and a yule log among the new products unveiled.

There are also savoury pies galore plus plenty of pastry-clad treats destined for the party food table. The retailer has also rolled out a host of new desserts for the festive season, embracing classic flavours such as sticky toffee and chocolate but often with a twist.

Here we take a closer look at what Booths has to offer this yuletide season:

Beckleberry’s Broccoli & Stilton Quiche

Booths has partnered with Blaydon-based bakery Beckleberry’s on a duo of quiches for the festive season. The broccoli & stilton variant features what Booths describes as ‘sharp, salty, sweet, and pungent’ stilton paired with broccoli and extra mature Cheddar in a free-range egg-based filling, all set in handcrafted shortcrust pastry. A Cheddar & onion quiche is also available.
