What to try at M&S Food this month
Our expert product developers, chefs and producers are constantly on the lookout for innovative new flavours, the pick of seasonal produce, and irresistible treats to bring to the Foodhall, with hundreds of new arrivals on the shelves every month. The only problem? Deciding which to try first! Cue our edit of everything new, in season and trending right now in the Foodhall.
Think of this as your handy 'New in the Foodhall' checklist, full of must-try treats, time-saving ingredients and little pick-me-ups to make this month your most delicious yet.
1. Sugar, spice and all things nice
Turn everyday baking into something a little more special with our Everything Sugar N Spice. Golden caster sugar is expertly blended with warming cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger, bringing cosy autumn flavour to everything it touches. Sprinkle over porridge, pancakes or roasted fruit, stir into hot chocolate, or add to cakes, biscuits and crumbles. With fine crystals that dissolve easily, it's an effortless way to add a little seasonal magic to your favourite treats.
2. On a roll
Some things are classics for a reason. Our new in-store bakery sausage roll pairs crisp, buttery puff pastry with a generously seasoned British pork filling for the ultimate savoury snack. Freshly baked and ready to pick up from the bakery, it's perfect for everything from a quick lunch to a picky tea spread.
3. A royal welcome
It’s peak fig season, and our extra-large Collection King Figs are some of the finest around. Hand-picked by trusted growers, they're wonderfully ripe, sweet and jammy. Enjoy them simply with prosciutto and peppery rocket, add them to a cheeseboard, or roast with a drizzle of honey and finish with a spoonful of mascarpone for an effortless autumn dessert.
4. Pasta perfection
Our Best Ever Spaghetti Bolognese delivers restaurant-quality flavour in minutes. More than a year in the making, it combines a ragù of British beef, outdoor-bred British pork and Italian pancetta with Italian plum tomatoes, Chianti wine and aged Parmesan for incredible depth of flavour. Served with egg spaghetti and finished with shavings of 24-month-aged Parmesan, it's a comforting classic that's perfect for a cosy night in, with all the richness and attention to detail you'd expect from your favourite Italian restaurant.
5. The Yorkshire pudding wrap is back!
They flew off the Café menu last year, and now our Yorkshire Pudding Wraps are back by popular demand. Bringing together all the flavours of a traditional roast dinner in a handheld format, they're the ultimate autumn lunch. Choose from slow-cooked British roast chicken with stuffing, seasonal vegetables and rich gravy béchamel, or six-hour slow-cooked British pulled pork paired with creamy leeks and a Kentish apple cider sauce. All wrapped in a golden, crispy Yorkshire pudding, they're comfort food at its finest.
6. Fresh from the bakery
These hand-stretched ciabatta sticks are made for tearing, sharing and snacking. Choose from a rich cheddar and red fox version, packed with savoury, nutty cheese, or a Nocellara olive stick, studded with buttery green olives throughout. Both have a crisp golden crust and a soft, chewy centre, making them perfect alongside a bowl of soup, paired with your favourite cheeses, or simply enjoyed with a generous spread of butter.
7. Ready, set, spook
Halloween has arrived early at M&S. Back for another year, our Halloween Trick or Treat Sweet Bags are the perfect way to get into the spooky spirit. Available in two frightfully fun designs: pumpkin and cat, each bag is filled with seven mini Freaky Fruity Sweet Bags, making them ideal for parties, trick-or-treaters or gifting to your favourite little monsters. Grab one while you can and get a head start on the Halloween celebrations.
8. A taste of Italy
Our new restaurant-quality Collection pasta sauces celebrate regional Italian flavours.
Collection Pistachio and Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Pesto: A rich, nutty pesto combining pistachios with Parmigiano Reggiano – perfect with pasta or spooned over grilled chicken.
Collection Calabrian Sausage and 'Nduja Ragu Pasta Sauce: This rich ragù combines succulent sausage with spicy, smoky 'nduja.
Collection Butternut Squash and Brown Butter Crema Pasta Sauce: A celebration of autumnal Italian flavours with sweet squash and nutty brown butter.
9. The custard cream dream
If you're as obsessed with custard creams as we are, you're in luck. This classic biscuit flavour has inspired a whole host of M&S favourites, from our Chunked N' Loaded Custard Cream Cookie and Dunked N' Loaded Custard Cream Doughnut to The Giant Outrageously Chocolatey Custard Cream. And now you can get your fix straight from the jar. Our Custard Cream Spread is packed with nostalgic vanilla flavour and crunchy biscuit. Spoon over pancakes, swirl through porridge, spread on toast or eat straight from the jar (no judgement here).
10. Go mad for malt
Too early for mince pies? Never. Inspired by the viral success of our Malt Balls, these Malt and Caramel Cookie Pies put a playful spin on a festive favourite. If traditional mincemeat isn't your thing, they're a delicious alternative the whole family can get stuck into. Brown butter pastry is filled with a soft blondie-style centre, studded with caramel pieces and milk chocolate, then finished with a swirl of malted buttercream and crunchy caramel flakes.
