The GFP Christmas Sandwich

Gourmet Food Parlour has teamed up with Keogh’s crisps for the second year after the runaway success of last year’s Christmas Sandwich partnership. The iconic GFP Christmas Sandwich includes roast turkey and baked ham cooked to perfection, topped with Christmas stuffing, warm camembert and fresh rocket. The jam-packed sandwich is served on a fluffy toasted ciabatta, smothered in vodka cranberry sauce and sage aioli, creating the perfect combination of classic festive flavours.

The Christmas Sandwich is accompanied by Keogh’s Camembert & Rosemary flavoured Crinkle Cut Crisps. Exclusively available in Gourmet Food Parlour locations across Ireland, this Keogh’s flavour is a must try for fans of the brand as it pairs perfectly with the flavours of the GFP Christmas Sandwich. Perfect for festive foodies and crisp fans alike. After significant demand and for the very first time, there will be a vegetarian version of the Christmas Sandwich on the menu this year! Substituting the ham and turkey for lightly grilled halloumi, the vegetarian version is full of cheesy goodness wrapped with all the veggie-friendly Christmas trimmings!

The Christmas Sandwich is now available at Gourmet Food Parlour locations nationwide.

On the holiday season at Gourmet Food Parlour, Lorraine Heskin, owner said: “There is just something a bit magical about a GFP Christmas. The entire team work extremely hard to ensure our offering is diverse and meeting our customers’ needs, from catering and dining-in to the at home hamper - it’s a collective team effort to ensure our customers get the most of their Gourmet Food Parlour Christmas experience and create long lasting memories. We’re thrilled to once again team up with Keogh’s for our Christmas Sambo. It is by far the most desired special of the year, we sometimes get calls from customers as early as August asking about it, so we’re excited to once again bring some festive joy to sandwich lovers, and now with the vegetarian option, more people than ever before can enjoy it.

We have been delivering Christmas to our customers for 18 years and we know that a visit to the local GFP has become a tradition for many during the holiday season. This year, with the restaurant industry experiencing more ups and downs that maybe every before, it’s so crucial for customers to support local eateries, and from our side it’s essential that we provide a diverse offering with loads of added value, which is what I believe we have achieved. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and new customers alike enjoy the holiday season at Gourmet Food Parlour.”
