Hame by Adam Handling

Adam Handling has launched his own high-end, London-based food delivery and collection service. Named ‘Hame’ - the Scottish word for home - the service features a number of dishes that would usually be served at Handling’s London restaurants including the cheese doughnuts; Nanny Sophie’s fried chicken; whole lobster with carrot and lemongrass; and a sharing plate of beef wellington. There are also a selection of dishes that the chef restaurateur has developed whilst cooking at home during lockdown. All of the food preparation will already have been done, and Customers  just need to scan the QR code on the recipe card to see a video of Handling demonstrating how to cook all the prepared components, and make finishing touches.

Jackson Boxer

Jackson Boxer has adapted his regular menus at both Notting Hill’s, Orasay and Brunswick House, Vauxhall to offer an ever evolving, enticing choice of appetisers and a couple of mains. There’s his trailblazing grilled garlic and potato bread with bagna cauda; summer salads, 24 hour roast short rib of beef with celeriac puree and strawberry and ricotta cheesecake.

For a true splurge, order the whole roast Springfield chicken dinner for two with sherry sauce of exceptional intensity, taleggio, potato and rosemary gratin and a whole host of salads, plus an Original beans chocolate pot.

Hide at Home

This is the delivery service for Ollie Dabbous' Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant. It was one of the first off the blocks with delivery at the beginning of the lockdown, offering a menu that is as close to the restaurant experience as possible.  The Hide at Home menu is a full a la carte three courses + snacks affair.  The majority arrives ready to eat out of the containers, meaning the presentation is wonderful and the dishes are put together with care and thought. They also deliver their famous weekend breakfasts, and the main menu also has a kid's section too.

It is at the higher end of the market - Weekend set menu price is £64pp, with mains priced between £16-38. 

Royale by Leroy

Royale is the new delivery brand from Leroy, the Michelin-starred modern European wine bar and restaurant team.

Delivery available in three 1hour slots Wed to Sat, between 6pm-9pm (orders must be received by 2 pm same day). Sunday deliveries are in 1hour slots between 1pm-8pm (orders must be received by 5pm on Friday). Collection also available.

Other JKS concepts offering delivery include  Hoppers, Brigadiers, Motu Indian Kitchen, and Rice Error – the new delivery-only offshoot of its Taiwanese restaurant Bao - offers Chishang Biandang rice boxes, DIY BAO meals, Taiwanese fried chicken and Horlicks ice cream.

Sticks 'n' Sushi

Sticks 'n' Sushi has had a special place in our hearts – and bellies - since it arrived in Wimbledon 8 years ago...It's now open for deliveroo and click and collect in Soho, Wimbledon, Covent Garden, Greenwich, Oxford, and Cambridge.

Arguably a very difficult cuisoine to replicate ourselves during  lockdown, it seems like a perfect opportunity to treat yourself to beautifully wrapped platters of sushi, sashimi, nigiri and yakitori plus other Japanese favourties,

Check the websites for the opening times of each individual restaurant.

Tom Kerridge

Michelin-starred pub chef turned TV favourite Tom Kerridge is on a mission to prove that cooking during isolation needn’t be a bore. His Lock Down Dinners series sees him concoct simple, family recipes largely from store cupboard ingredients and whatever he has in the fridge. Think tuna pasta with some added avocado and feta, a stir fry that can be made with whatever veggies you have to hand, and a chocolate mousse for pudding.
