Knaves Kitchen head chef, Sam Thomas, said: "All the tinsel, trees and brandy-soaked puddings in the world couldn't come close to getting me as excited for the festive season as this menu.
"It's got it all: spicy deep seasonal punch, delicious nutritious wild ingredients and enough cheesy crass pomp to fill a French fromagerie four times over.
"At the same time as being Yorkshire as f*ck and holding true to the real Knave's Kitchen Junk Food vibes.”
