I am a big fan of the gorgeous Danish style open sandwiches at Ole & Steen (locations across London) so was very excited to learn about the new festive menu being launched today! With meaty and vegetarian/vegan options available, fabulously festive drinks and mouthwatering sweet treats it's the perfect reasonably priced lunch for anyone visiting London for shopping or visiting Christmas lights and markets or to take home. Better than a greasy burger on the train!
The Good Food Award-Winning Turkey Toastie returns - generously filled with roast turkey, crispy bacon, Brussels sprout and cranberry slaw, Cheddar, and chilli jam, all served in our homemade focaccia.
Looking for a plant-based option? Try the new Festive Mushroom Melt - roasted mushrooms, seasonal slaw, stuffing and vegan ‘cheese’ for a satisfying seasonal bite.
Also on the menu is a Fig & Goats’ Cheese Danish - a golden, flaky pastry filled with fig jam, whipped goats’ cheese, and topped with fresh fig and thyme. Plus, the signature sourdough has a festive twist - ideal for gifting, grazing boards, or elevating everyday moments.
Sweet Treats & Festive Drinks - A Perfect Pairing
At the heart of the festive bakery is the Gingerbread Social - a celebration of spiced gingerbread butter and custard, topped with golden crumble, icing, and a little gold gingerbread man. Made for sharing, it’s the ultimate centrepiece for cosy seasonal gatherings.
Pair it with one of the gently spiced lattes - the Gingerbread Latte or Caramelised Almond Latte - both warm and full of festive flavour.
You’ll also find a mix of comforting favourites and new creations:
• Honey Heart - a Danish classic with soft gingerbread sponge, dark chocolate, and dried raspberries
• Crumble Mince Pies - filled with spiced mincemeat and topped with almond crumble, available individually or as a box of six
• Sticky Toffee Pudding - with a molten toffee centre and toasted pecans
• Christmas Tree Muffin - rich chocolate sponge, cream cheese icing, and a festive chocolate tree
Looking for something thoughtful and ready to gift? Spread a little Danish cheer with an Ole & Steen Gift Card, available at any value.
For the perfect Secret Santa, pair a gift card with Ole & Steen's Cinnamon Social Socks - playful, cosy, and just the right amount of festive.
You’ll also find:
• The Jul Candle by Skandinavisk - to fill the home with the scent of Scandinavian winter
• Our new Cinnamon Social Chocolate Bar - crafted in collaboration with Danish chocolatier Mellor
• Festive liquorice by Lakrids by Bülow - in four indulgent flavours: Caramel, Raspberry, Mint, and Chocolate
