'I take pleasure in sharing the source of what just might be the best Christmas puddings on the planet' - The Financial Times

"What makes a McLaren's pudding so special?

TRY A MCLAREN’S ONCE & YOU WON’T TURN BACK…

“We ordered the large eight people cake and I just wanted to say Mclarens Christmas cake was absolutely delicious. What flavour, texture and it did not last long. Can’t wait until we order again.”
Sharon Green

“Our daughter brought your Christmas pudding from Borough Market for us. Wow what a taste sensation your pudding is, moist, tasty and so more-ish. Usually there is some left over which we try and eat the next day, not this time."
Meredith Jones

McLaren’s Christmas Pudding is the best we’ve eaten in 40 years in London! Would not have any other!
