Toby Carvery restaurants are making way for the a Festive Super Pig this year: a giant pigs in blankets roll and it tastes as delicious as it sounds.
Christmas foods are just getting bigger and better each year.
Well, at least at Toby Carvery they are.
What was once a single sausage, has been reborn as a footlong meat to create a giant pigs in blankets dish that is perfect for the festive season.
On the menu, we're talking about The Festive Super Pig: a giant pig in a blanket stuffed inside a warm ciabatta roll with cranberry sauce, stuffing and served with a choice of roast potatoes or house salad.

Of course, if you can't bare the thought of letting your pigs in blankets take front and centre of your Christmas dinner roast, you can always just add them to your usual Toby Carvery orcer instead.
Their Christmas menu is all about 'going the extra mile' for customers, so the team at Toby's wanted to create a showstopper for their main dish.
Taking inspiration from the traditional pigs in blankets that, like the green Quality Street, are always first to go, the team designed a mammoth version of the original.
With 750,000 flying out the oven and into the stomachs of hungry carvery-eaters, this addition seems like an appropriate and soon-to-be popular addition to the menu.

The Festive Super Pig will be available from Wednesday 17 November at Toby Carvery restaurants across England.
There are three main Toby Carvery locations in Leeds: one in Oulton, another in Morley and in North Leeds, the Chapel Allerton venue is open for business.
Due to the busy nature of the restaurants, we recommend booking online to confirm your seat in advance.
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.

And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
