Making a triumphant return are the infamous Sprout Bhajis, the ultimate form of the celebrated if some what misunderstood seasonal vegetable. Think crispy sprout, onion and broccoli Bhajis spiked with fennel and chilli, and served with a spiced cranberry chutney.
I mean, if Bundobust can't make you eat your sprouts then we're not sure who can?
Fans of the Christmas sarnie can opt for the Sprout Bhaji Butty, a crispy sprout bhaji patty with salad, spiced cranberry and green chutneys. £1 from every Sprout Bhaji Butty sold will go towards the #CookForUkraine charity initiative.

After a proper winter warmer? Then the Festive Dahl with rice is the one for you, a warming and smoky Christmas take on Dal Makhani boosted with black cardamom, clove and cinnamon which is sure to feel like a hug in a bowl.
Back with a bang are the beloved Biryani Balls, these pair India’s celebratory dish, Biryani, with the party buffet snackability of arancini. A match made in heaven right? Spiced with mint, saffron, ginger, nutmeg and rose, served in a rich tomato sauce crowned with crispy onions, we're sure these are going to be flying off the shelves.

A new addition to the menu this year are Mince Pie Parathas, a perfect sweet-savoury flavour bomb stuffed with sultana, raisin, cinnamon, clove, star anise and coconut.
And of course you'll need something to wash all the delicious food down with, and it wouldn't be Bundobust without beer.
