And the firm’s deli counters will also be groaning under the weight of new lines from the bakery, including such seasonal delights as cranberry topped pork pies, Christmas pork pies, pate and cranberry pork pie, a game pie and apricot and poultry pie.

Matthew Topping, sales director of The Topping Pie Company, said: “We are delighted to extend our product offer with Booths over the Christmas period.
