LEON’s new festive menu turns Christmas classics upside down
This Christmas, LEON swaps tradition for spice with a bold new holiday menu.
This year, LEON is taking all the familiar comforts of Christmas and giving them a vivid, flavour-packed makeover.
Rolling out across its restaurants nationwide from 5 November, the “Twisted Christmas” menu turns turkey and trimmings on their head.
Expect the staples like stuffing and turkey but layered with warming spices, molasses, pepper, and even grilled halloumi.
At the heart of the new range is the Twisted Trimmings Sandwich (£8.99).
A toasted stone-baked ciabatta filled with pulled turkey marinated in buttermilk and Baharat spice, rich apricot & pine-nut stuffing, and grilled halloumi.
It’s finished with pickled red cabbage, honey mustard mayo and a cranberry, pomegranate molasses & Aleppo pepper sauce. Comfort and a kick in one bite.
Vegetarians aren’t left out as the Veggie Twistmas Sandwich (£7.99) packs the same flavour but with toasted butternut squash instead.
For bowl enthusiasts, the Baharat Turkey & Aleppo Cranberry Bowl (£9.49) brings those flavours into a bowl format.
Tender pulled turkey, pine-nut & apricot stuffing, creamy LEON aioli, and the cranberry-pomegranate pepper sauce served on brown rice with pickled cabbage, slaw, crispy onions, herbs and lemon.
The drinks are equally festive.
The new Gingerbread range includes a Latte (£4.50), Matcha Latte (£4.85), Hot Chocolate (£4.75) and iced versions of the latte and matcha.
Each uses sweet and spiced gingerbread syrup plus your choice of milk (or ice!). Warm, indulgent and unmistakably seasonal.
Just like the autumn menu LINED out in previous seasons, this Christmas menu prioritises flavour, boldness and accessible indulgence.
Some of LEON’s earlier seasonal launches emphasised “more protein, more plant power and stronger flavours” across the board.
From 5 November, the Twisted Christmas menu will be available in-restaurant, for takeaway, click & collect and delivery through the LEON Club app.
