The Brussels sprouts are the most popular, according to Corries Cabin's Tammy Pierce. however her personal favourites are the stuffing fritters.

She told the Isle of Wight County Press: "When I first started working here, I didn't think the sprouts would be so popular, but customers ask for them all year round!"

The battered festive favourites appear on the Corrie's Cabin's menu from December 1 and they are served up until New Year's Eve.

"The foot-long battered sausage is pretty close behind in the popularity stakes," said owner, Richard Quigley.

"I think people see it as a challenge.

"We started the sprouts about 15 years ago.

"There's a lady that lives in Cowes who started asking about them in July!"
