The Best Christmas Gift?
...a little (lotta) you time
It's the most scone-derful time of year. Pun oh (ho-ho) so very much intended. The BTP elves are hard at work rustling up a sack full 'o' ways to help you feel good and do good this Christmas.
From slap-up breakfasts and leisurely lunches to afternoon teas and casual Christmas parties, we're even taking bookings so you can guarantee that spot in your local Boston this festive season.
Festive Feasts
We don't mean to be cheesy, but is there anything more festive than brie and cranberry?
We're now serving up limited edition Christmassy twists on some of our favourites...
The Festive Full Monty
As if it could get any better – a full English breakfast piled on top of a brie and cranberry toastie!Brie, Cranberry & Bacon Toastie
All wrapped up in Hobbs House Bakery sourdough and served with fries.Brie, Cranberry & Spinach Toastie (V)
None of the meat, all of the festive flavour.
And new for this year, we've upgraded to a brand new cranberry, port & orange sauce. You can't get more Christmassy than that.
Naughty? Perhaps, but oh so nice...
Festive vegan scones, marvellous mince pies and ever-so-indulgent hot chocolates with all the trimmings. The season of sugar, spice and all things nice has landed.
New this year (and already a true fave with us lot) are two truly top notch limited edition drinks.

Afternoon Tea with Baubles On
Gather your friends, family or colleagues for our Festive Afternoon Tea. More formal than a full English but much less trouble than a turkey dinner, it's perfect for those casual Christmas meet ups and office shindigs.
Finger sandwiches in Hobbs House Bakery bread including a brie and cranberry special, suitably seasonal cakes including mince pies, mini Christmas scones (with all the trimmings, obvs) and all the tea and coffee (or prosecco) you could dream of.
For 2 or more, and we just need 48 hours' notice to rustle up the good stuff.
Get in touch to book. From £23.50 per person.

The Spirit of Kindness this Christmas
Back in 2020 we set up The Boston Foundation to give back to our communities in a meaningful way. Through superstar charities we provide opportunities for young people from some of our most deprived local neighbourhoods.
Funded by our takeaway coffee (10p from every hot drink) and Shakshuka (25p from every Shak), we invite young people to our cafes for hands-on, confidence building sessions, promoting life at BTP and life in hospitality as a safe space, where they can be accepted for who they are and given the opportunities and tools to develop a career, should they wish to.
Make a real difference this Christmas (scratch that, all year round) and show some support for The Boston Foundation. Donate using our 'Pay It Forward' Gift Cards and 100% of those coins go right into the Foundation's coffers.

Christmas Bookings
While we usually keep things a bit more casual at BTP, we understand that when it comes to Christmas, there's no messing around. Head to the link below to make a booking enquiry so your local cafe can make sure that cosy corner is there waiting for you when you need it.
Some BTPs also have spaces perfect for private hire, so just let us know what you're looking for and we'll see if we can find the perfect space for your festivities.
All of our cafes are closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day so our teams can enjoy a well-earned rest. You'll find our festive opening hours on each cafe's page.
Many of our cafes have spaces ideal for private hire or can be hired for evening events. Get in touch with your local BTP with the type of event and how many people, and the team will work with you to find the perfect space.
Absolutely! Either pop into your local cafe to buy a physical gift card, or head to our online store to order digital gifts, delivered immediately to the lucky recipient via email or SMS.
Get in touch with us online, or just pop in to your local cafe and chat to the team.
