It’s officially the season of festive menus – and one high street favourite is going all in.
Leon has rebranded itself as Noel for Christmas, unveiling a seasonal line-up that includes a turkey curry, a Christmas dinner wrap and a breakfast bun cheekily named the Sando Claus.
The chain’s returning Christmas Party Curry sees tender turkey cooked with coconut milk, carrot and parsnip, alongside warming spices including Kashmiri chilli, garam masala, turmeric and cinnamon.

It’s served over rice and finished with coconut cream, crispy onions and fresh coriander.
Leon describes it as “a little bit of Christmas tradition, a little bit of Leon imagination, and a whole lot of festive flavour”.
Also back is the Christmas Wrap, which the brand claims is the UK’s only Christmas wrap – this year with a new recipe.
It features turkey kofta made with handmade cranberry and orange relish, wrapped in khobez flatbread with Leon’s aioli and slaw.
“Forget the stuffing and the bread,” the menu boasts.
For those who can’t wait until lunchtime, there’s the new Sando Claus – a festive spin on the chain’s breakfast Sando, which proved a hit earlier this year.
The limited-edition bun is filled with British Cumberland sausage, a truffle and Gruyere cheese sauce, and a spoonful of handmade cranberry, chilli and orange relish.
“Unlike the real Santa, our version will be here from November 11,” the brand teased.
Two festive drinks complete the menu: a White Chocolate & Cranberry Matcha Latte, and a Honey Hojicha mixed with Leon’s Turmeric Honey – both available hot or iced.
The menu launches in all Leon restaurants on November 11.
It comes a year after co-founder John Vincent bought the business back in October 2025, with the chain on a mission to bring back old favourites alongside new dishes.
Founded in 2004 by Vincent, Henry Dimbleby and Allegra McEvedy, Leon now has 43 restaurants across the UK and the Netherlands.
