Your top 10 essentials for a very Kentish Christmas has come to an end.

Today is day 10.

We know you’ll be getting ready for the big guy tonight and you can’t do that without a mince pie.

Ours are from Vallance & Sons who make hundreds of mince pies all throughout December. Just look at these beauties.

Becs Vallance is the lady behind Vallance and Sons. A professional fully qualified chef and baker, with 15 years experience in restaurants and cafes in London, Kent and even a couple of winters in the Alps! Her passion has always been baking; something she might of inherited from her Grandfather, himself a professional baker.

So as you set out your glass of milk (or local whisky), a carrot for Rudolph, and a mince pie for Santa, we wish you all a fabulous Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Here is to shopping local and supporting local businesses in any way we can going forward into 2021. Goodbye 2020.

Merry Christmas from the Taste Kent team. x
