Three London food businesses have set out their Christmas sandwich offers for the season, with festive specials arriving at PAUL, B Bagel and TOZI Counter. The line-up runs from French-inspired baguettes to turkey bagels and an Italian-inspired take on the turkey sarnie.
Two limited-edition baguettes at PAUL
PAUL is adding two limited-edition Christmas sandwiches to its range, both served on a signature cranberry, sage and onion baguette. The Le Noël Turkey, from £7.50, combines turkey, streaky bacon and horseradish rainbow slaw, offering a fresh take on the classic Christmas dinner.
The Le Noël Brie, from £7.10, pairs creamy brie with mince pie chutney, sliced pear and crunchy walnuts.
Both sandwiches are available at all 31 PAUL stores across London, Reading and Oxford from 18th November to 4th January. Customers can order platters online or pick up individual sandwiches in store daily.
Festive bagels return at B Bagel
B Bagel is bringing back its festive bagel specials. The Holly Jolly Bagel, from £10.50, is loaded with slow-roasted turkey, spiced red cabbage and cranberry sauce. The vegan Tinsel Tofu, from £9.50, comes with garlic and herb roasted tofu. Both are served with gravy pots for dipping.
For something sweet, the Merry Berry Bagel, priced at £1.40, is packed with cranberries, pumpkin seeds and warming spices.
The bagels are available at B Bagel’s Camden, Fulham Road, Tottenham Court Road, New Oxford Street, Swain’s Lane, Strand and Soho sites from 3rd November. The shops take walk ins only.
A turkey bloomer at TOZI Counter
At TOZI Counter in Battersea, the Festive Sandwich gives the turkey sarnie an Italian-inspired twist that goes beyond the usual Christmas leftovers. Roast turkey breast and confit leg are layered with Brussels sprout slaw, herb stuffing and punchy cranberry ketchup, stacked between a freshly baked rye and seeded bloomer.
The sandwich is designed to balance rich, savoury turkey with sharp cranberry tang and plenty of seasonal crunch. It is priced at £12 and is available from 16th November at TOZI Counter Battersea, 3 Electric Blvd, Nine Elms, London SW11 8BJ. As with B Bagel, it is walk ins only.
