Aldi is so confident about the new mince pies that they even had a Bentley and chauffeur parked outside the doors of Fortnum & Mason and offered would-be customers the chance to switch their visit to a nearby Aldi. Customers were also given the chance to sample both the mince pies blind.

Shopper Glen Afwireng, said: “Aldi’s mince pies are absolutely heaven! I genuinely couldn’t tell the difference between Aldi and Fortnum’s mince pies, so I was shocked to be told the price difference between the two. Being whisked away right outside the doors of Fortnum’s was hilarious but a real treat.”

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, says: “We know Fortnum customers like the finer things in life and we wanted to show you can get great quality at a fraction of the price by switching to Aldi.”

The mini mince pies have also been named ‘Best Traditional Mince Pie’ at the Quality Food Awards.
