Introducing our double-wrapped pigs in blankets

This year, for the first time ever, we're double wrapping our Pigs in Blankets in a whole rasher of oak and applewood-smoked, RSPCA Assured outdoor-bred British bacon. Leave disappointing Christmas lunches in the past – our exclusive double-wrapped method ensures no pigs will be slipping out of their blankets. Whether you're buying the fresh, frozen, party food or Café versions, every pig comes double-wrapped – why would you go anywhere else for this quintessential festive accompaniment?

Double wrapped for your pleasure

Every single pig in blanket – from the Foodhall to the Café – will be double-wrapped this Christmas, for double the deliciousness. Pick up a pack of our M&S Collection British Outdoor Bred Pigs in Blankets or our Best Ever Pigs in Blankets to try our crispy bacon tightly wrapped around tender bite-sized sausages. We’re even double-wrapping our M&S Café pigs in blankets, which come complete with a gravy dipping sauce. Got a crowd coming? Serve our double-wrapped pigs in blankets from the party bites section as a moreish nibble that will be gone in seconds.

Wrap it up

If double wrapping isn’t enough, our pigs in blankets sausage rolls recipe calls for triple wrapping using a layer of flaky puff pastry. Already a staple during the Christmas season, sausage rolls just got even better with our bacon twist and a touch of our Festive Chutney.
