Regularly featured in lists of the best mince pies in the country, St John's iconic mince pies are deep, chunky and packed to the brim with festive flavour. These legendary Christmas treats return each year and never fail to delight.
The Filling
Expect a rich, traditional mincemeat filling made with juicy sultanas, raisins and currants, all plumped up with brandy. Bramley apples add brightness, while nibbed almonds bring a satisfying, toothsome texture. Warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—round everything out with the unmistakable taste of Christmas.
The Pastry
Baked with all-butter pastry, these mince pies strike the perfect balance: beautifully crumbly yet sturdy enough to hold every drop of their luxurious filling.
How to Serve
St John mince pies are perfect with mulled wine, piping-hot tea, or—if you want to follow St John tradition—a chilled glass of Madeira. Enjoy them straight from the box, or warm them through and serve with brandy butter or thick double cream for an extra-indulgent treat.
