"Luke Mackay, the chef behind Kensington’s Brompton Market came up with some fabulous mince pies last year – and this year he’s gone one better, creating a savoury veal and sage version, and a sweet one stuffed with amaretto figs. Brilliant."

Gavin Hanly

"The traditional ones were very, very good, but it was the rare breed mutton and London porter mince pies that were good enough to completely convert one of us who's usually not a big fan of these Christmas treats."

Victoria Stewart

"London's best mince pies: Brompton Food Market - Giant, with huge pieces of spiced, swollen fruit, perfect, thick, buttery pastry (with a thin lid), and a heavy dusting of icing sugar. Unbelievably boozy thanks to the addition of brandy and amaretto."

Lucy Bloxham

"The mince pies on sale at this beautiful shop are some of the best in the city! Giant, with huge pieces of spiced fruit, perfect, thick, buttery pastry (with a thin lid), and a heavy dusting of icing sugar. And boozey. Oh so boozey."

Thomas Hillman

"We love the giant pies at Brompton Food Market in Kensington. They’re buttery and boozy and full of spiced fruit, and we think they’re some of the best you’ll find anywhere!"

Emma Draper

"No mincin' - top dates for mince pie lovers: Brompton Food Market - Head to Brompton Food Market’s beautiful Winter Garden, where you can curl up under a sheepskin rug, with one of their giant mince pies packed with fruit to munch on, alongside a tea or coffee."

Rebecca Heslop

"Spicy meat mince pies are nothing new but (sadly for us) they have fallen out of favour over the last few centuries. Kudos, then, to Brompton Food Market for reintroducing us to this traditional British classic."
