London fish and chip shop serving deep fried mince pies and Brussel sprouts for Christmas
Independent London chippie Sutton & Sons are giving traditional Christmas fare a bit of a battering this year, as they serve up deep fried Brussel sprouts and deep fried mince pies with brandy cream.
The family run shop will be serving up the festive, erm, treats across their three branches in Stoke Newington, Islington and Boxpark Shoreditch, with sprouts at £2.50 a pop and mince pies for £3.50.
Husband and wife Danny and Hana Sutton, who started the chain, came up with the idea after getting fed up with the Christmas staple. Danny said: “I’ve never been a huge fan of Brussel sprouts, so we tried battering them for the Christmas season and they are a great way to get everyone to tuck into those boy scouts.”

While the battered incarnation might prove tastier, they're far from healthier: while a single sprout usually has eight calories, the deep-fried version will contain around 60.
The sprouts and mince pies join their other battered desserts, including battered crème egg and Scottish classic, deep fried mars bars.
