A Christmas dinner inside a pie made with Yorkshire pudding? Sign us up.
The Yorkshire Pudding Pie Company have launched a special festive versions of its Yorkshire delicacies, filled with all the best bits from your Christmas dinner.
Drenched in rich turkey gravy, the new Yorkshire pudding pies are stuffed to the brim with lashings of turkey, carrots, parsnips, sprouts, and cranberries before being wrapped in a soft, golden Yorkshire pudding casing.
Hand crafted by owners Ted & Lynn especially for the festive season, the Christmas pies are made right here in Yorkshire over in the little village of Malton.
It all started as a bit of fun in 2017 when co-owner Ted decided to take the family’s roast chicken dinner leftovers one step further and turn them into a pie.
However, the experiment was such a hit, the products have been rolled out to the public - and the business has gone from strength to strength.
The owners claim they are the first company to ever produce pies in this unique way.
Other pies on sale include a confection with Wagyu beef and cheese, as well as another with ham and leek.
There’s also a chicken and mushroom pie on the menu and another with sausage and red onion marmalade which sounds divine.
The original prototype, the Sunday roast pie, is also available, as is a Shepherds Pie made with lamb mince in a rich lamb gravy with leeks, celery and carrot.
There's also an apple crumble pie which turns the original concept on its head, switching from savoury to sweet. Here, juicy apples and sultanas are combined with a topping of oaty crumble under the Yorkshire pudding lid. Brilliant.
Priced from £3.50 each or between £18 to £24 for six pies, you can also order mixed boxes starting from £20.
Wednesday 22nd December is the last day for delivery before Christmas so make sure you get your order in advance of the big day to avoid disappointment.

A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
