The Britain’s cheapest supermarket^[1] is launching a UK first – the Aldi Pigs in Blankets Delivery Service.  Serving up an extensive range of pigs in blankets, customers can pre-order a delivery to their doorstep for just £5, with all proceeds going to Neighbourly.

The service, which will take place in London* on 30^th November, has been announced following a huge level of demand for the supermarket’s iconic Pigs in Blankets Restaurant, which launches for the second consecutive year on 29^th November on Bethnal Green Road in Shoreditch.

With 80% of tables being booked up within the first 24 hours of availability and walk-ins likely to go just as quickly, the restaurant promises to be even more popular than its predecessor.

Aldi is giving shoppers nationwide the chance to enjoy its best range yet with a festive pigs in blankets giveaway. From 25^th November, the first 1,000 shoppers to email aldiPIBgiveaway@clarioncomms.co.uk with their name, age and address will receive a £5 voucher to purchase up to 30 of the supermarket’s pigs in blankets.

With Brits predicted to devour 761 million pigs in blankets this Christmas, Aldi is treating shoppers to its biggest ever range of pigs in blankets, with the delivery menu boasting an abundance of its tastiest offerings. Not only this, but the discount supermarket has also gained the ultimate title of “Best Place to Buy Pigs in Blankets” this Christmas by consumer group Which?^[2] beating the likes of M&S, Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, says: “The response to our Pigs in Blankets Restaurant has been phenomenal, and we’ve listened to our customers who want a way to enjoy these festive favourites even if they can’t make it to the venue. This UK-first service is our solution, delivering Aldi’s Pigs in Blankets experience directly to shoppers’ homes.”
