On his Instagram, he announced the arrival of the "festive 3 Bird Burger." This burger consists of a delicious patty made from chicken, turkey, and duck. It is then wrapped in bacon, topped with Wensleydale cheese, honey roasted parsnip, cream sprouts, and brown sauce. Served with a jug of gravy, it promises to be a real treat for food enthusiasts.
