Freshly Picked
The 12 Tastes of Christmas
Brussel Sprouts
Still on the vine and bursting with flavour, these Brussels sprouts remind us why seasonal eating matters. Roast them until the edges turn golden and crisp, or steam them lightly to keep that bright, earthy sweetness intact.
Pairing: Pancetta and toasted almonds, or try finishing with a squeeze of lemon for a simple twist.
Montgomery Cheddar
Montgomery is the Don of cheddars, earthy, nutty, and savoury with its signature bite. Handmade in Somerset by Jamie Montgomery and aged to perfection, it's a Bayley & Sage Christmas classic.
Origin: England
Pairing: Cured meats, crusty bread, or nuts, while sweet fruits like apples or pears balance its rich, nutty, and sharp flavour.
Stilton
Colston Bassett Stilton is a festive classic, gentler and sweeter than most blues, with a creamy paste and delicate veining. Still hand-ladled under care of Head Cheesemaker Billy Kevan, it brings traditional indulgence to any Christmas cheeseboard.
Pairing: Bordeaux, Port or dark chocolate highlight its rich, creamy, and tangy flavour.
Château Des Capucins Lalande De Pomerol
This elegant Lalande de Pomerol blends Merlot and Cabernet Franc with notes of violet, blackberry, cherry, and oak spice. The palate is dense and refined, with lingering hints of black fruits, anise, liquorice and a touch of butterscotch.
Origin: France
Pairing: Roast lamb, grilled steak, or duck, and complements aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, enhancing its rich, elegant character.
Charles Heidsieck Brut Resérve
Blends Pinot Noir, chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with reserve wines aged up to 15 years. Golden with fine bubbles, it offers brioche, toasted nut and ripe fruit aromas, with a creamy, elegant finish.
Oysters
Our Colchester oysters make a lovely Christmas starter. They're sure to be a crowd pleaser!
Origin: UK
Pairing: Served simply shucked on ice with a classic red wine vinegar and shallot vinaigrette, or lightly battered and fried then returned to their shell.
Bayley & Sage Mince Pies
Made using a unique mix of hand-cut fruits that are soaked for weeks in French brandy to create the delicious mincemeat. Encased in butter short crust pastry.
Featured inside our Christmas Bayley & Sage HamperPanettone

Gingerbread Houses, a festive tradition born in 19th century Germany and inspired by Hansel and Gretel, are the ultimate holiday treat. Choose from our classic or giant houses, or get creative with DIY house and train sets for family fun.
Christmas Pudding
Our Christmas pudding is a festive classic, handmade in small batches for a light, moist, and fruity finish. Infused with cask-aged brandy and stout, then slow matured, it brings rich indulgence to the holiday table.
Candy Canes
Nothing says Christmas like a minty striped candy cane! They make a great stocking stuffer for both kids and adults alike.
Bayley & Sage Biscuit Tins
Our shortbread tins are the perfect Christmas gift or indulgent treat, baked by a family run bakery using an original recipe over 100 years old. Rich, and crumbly, they come in a beautifully illustrated tin featuring our Battersea store and are just as lovely to keep as they are to give.
