Saturday 14 November 2026
Independent Italo-English bakery Signorelli has unveiled its much-anticipated festive menu, launching on 15 November across its London bakeries. Leading the line-up are the Christmas Club Sandwich and the Turkey Schnitzel Focaccia, joined by Panettone Croissants, Ferrero-inspired Brioche and show-stopping Christmas Log Cakes. There are also winter coffees and a range of festive gifts starting from just £14. Here are five things to know about Christmas at Signorelli.
1. Two festive sandwiches take centre stage
Signorelli’s two festive lunchtime stars are the Christmas Club Sandwich and its signature Turkey Schnitzel Focaccia. The Christmas Club is packed with turkey schnitzel, creamy English Brie, cranberry sauce and lamb’s lettuce. The focaccia brings together three traditions: Italian focaccia, Austrian turkey schnitzel and English Brie, finished with that all-important spoonful of cranberry sauce. Think golden, crispy schnitzel, oozing Brie and buttery bread, or as the bakery puts it, a little Alpine Christmas magic, a little English festive cheer and a whole lot of Italian love in what it calls the ultimate Anglo-Italian Christmas sandwich.
2. A sandwich inspired by Alpine Christmas markets
The focaccia has a personal story behind it. Its inspiration goes back to co-founder and head baker Alberto ‘Albi’ Signorelli’s university days in Milan, when he would escape north to the Tyrolean region of his great-great-grandfather to experience the magic of the Christmas markets. Co-founder Rebecca Rosmini said: “He remembers the twinkling lights, the snow, the mulled wine and, of course, those incredible crispy schnitzel sandwiches.” She added: “We’ve brought all that Alpine Christmas magic together with our Italian focaccia, British Brie and cranberry sauce. It’s the ultimate Anglo-Italian Christmas sandwich, and it really is Christmas in every bite.”
3. Panettone Croissants, Ferrero Brioche and Christmas Log Cakes
The bakery counter is getting a seriously festive makeover. The Panettone Croissant combines the spirit of traditional fruity mince panettone with Signorelli’s freshly baked croissants, while the Ferrero Brioche is a gloriously indulgent chocolate-inspired take on the bakery’s signature brioche. For a dessert to steal the show, the Christmas Log Cakes come in three flavours: Red Velvet, Black Forest and Tiramisu. There are also Giant Chocolate-Dipped Biscuits and Red Berry and Pistachio Fruit Tarts, perfect for festive get-togethers, celebrations or simply treating yourself during a Christmas shopping break.
4. Festive gifts from £14
Christmas shopping just got tastier, with a collection of beautifully presented festive treats, gift boxes and hampers available online and starting from just £14. Expect reusable rich burgundy Signorelli-branded cups filled with brownie bites, boxes of festive Italian biscuits, granola in keepsake metal pots, Signorelli tote bags, chocolate brioche scented candles and Christmas hampers. The range is designed for everyone from your favourite foodie to the friend who loves a good coffee, and works for stocking fillers, Secret Santa surprises and thank-you gifts alike. The Christmas range runs until 6 January 2027.
5. Winter coffees and a bakery with heart
From 20 November and through to February, Signorelli is serving two new cold foam flavours, Black Forest and Cinnamon Biscuit, plus a Winter Latte and new Seasonal Brioche Toppings. The bakery was founded in East Village, Stratford, in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Rebecca and Alberto Signorelli, and now has bakeries in East Village, Stratford Cross, Wood Wharf in Canary Wharf and Broadgate, Liverpool Street. Everything is made from scratch at its dedicated Stratford Bakehouse, which has a commitment to reducing unnecessary waste and supporting an inclusive, predominantly women-led and neurodivergent-friendly workplace.
