Festive Food in Shrewsbury: Massarella’s Menu
The festive menu at Massarella’s is available now on the Middle Level of The Darwin Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury. It includes a turkey, brie and cranberry panini, a Yorkshire pudding wrap, artisan mince pies and festive drinks such as a gingerbread latte, all in the middle of Shrewsbury town centre.
Christmas shopping works up an appetite. Between the gift lists, the busy pavements on Pride Hill and the “where did I park?” moments, a proper sit-down is usually what the day needs.
This year, Massarella’s has the answer. Their festive menu has landed on the Middle Level of The Darwin, and we’ve had a look at what’s on offer.
What’s on the Massarella’s Festive Menu?
Here’s everything on the menu, so you can plan your order before you arrive.
A Very Merry Panini
Turkey, brie, cranberry and rocket, served with crispy chunky chips. It’s a Christmas dinner in sandwich form, and the brie and cranberry pairing is a classic for good reason.
Yorkshire Pudding Wrap
Turkey, stuffing and cranberry in a Yorkshire pudding wrap, served with chips. If you can’t decide between a roast and a lunch on the go, this is the one for you.
Christmas Comfort Tuscan Ribollita
A one-pot blend of chunky vegetables and Tuscan beans, served with rustic bread. Warming, hearty and made for a cold Shropshire afternoon.
Artisan Mince Pies
A box of four, and they’re every bit as good to take home as to eat in. Pick up a box for the neighbours, the in-laws or the Boxing Day tea table.
If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, please speak to the Massarella’s team before ordering.
Festive Drinks to Warm You Up
A Shrewsbury December calls for something hot. Massarella’s has two seasonal drinks:
- Warming Gingerbread Latte, a spiced, comforting coffee that tastes like the season.
- Creamy Black Forest Hot Chocolate, for anyone who wants chocolate and cherry in one cup.
Either one goes nicely with a mince pie.
