And this year, Clerkenwell’s newly refurbished Crown Tavern has dropped a serious contender for the city’s most indulgent festive sarnie. Introducing the Turkey, Bacon & Stuffing Toastie: a sandwich that doesn’t just nod at Christmas dinner, it cosplays as one. This is a two-handed, elbows-out, lunchtime commitment of a meal, and that’s before you’ve even dipped it in the gravy. The result is the kind of pub that instantly feels like a winter hideout: warm, golden and deeply inviting. The toastie is also popping up at select sister Castle Pubs across the city, spreading that gravy-soaked joy a little further afield.
