REDDITCH residents may receive a festive treat as Tesco plan to deliver 1,000 mince pies in the town.

The Tesco mince pie van has pledged to deliver 18,000 packs of mince pies to people across Britain over the next few weeks.

Anyone who is not at home will receive a voucher so they can pick up their gift in their local store.

Pies ranging from Tesco Finest* to Free From will be on offer.

Mince pie man, Warren, who is delivering the pies and extending festive wishes to residents, said: "I’m really excited that this pie in the sky idea worked so well last year and I’m back for a second helping. I can’t wait to spread some more Christmas cheer and get everyone in the festive mood.

"This year, I’ll be knocking on even more people’s doors handing out free packs of Tesco mince pies and wishing them a Merry Christmas.”
