A Chef & Brewer countdown to Christmas
It's tiiime! That's right, everyone; our Advent calendar is officially here! So, are you ready for a few extra stocking fillers? What a silly question; of course you are, it's Christmas! Each week from the 1st December until 22nd December, you get to reveal a brand-new treat. We won't give too much away, because then they wouldn't be surprises, would they? But let's just say you'd be daft to miss out!
Keep an eye on your inbox every week to see what surprises we have in store.
Week four: another chance to win a hotel stay!
Festive treats: reveal yourselves!
Week 3
Moving swiftly on, but don't worry; Festive Sips & Picky Bits is sticking around until Friday the 2nd of January 2026.
Week 1
Sorry, folks. This treat has come to a close, but there are three more weeks to go and three more peel-to-reveal surprises waiting for you!
A season of merry moments with Chef & Brewer
We're even hosting Breakfast with Santa (yep, the real one) on the 6th, 13th, 20th or 23rd of December, so bring your little ones for a spot of Christmas morning magi
