From DIY Food Kits to Cocktail Deliveries: Support Local Restaurants Right From Your Own Kitchen
Many restaurants, bars, and pubs across the country have been forced to close their doors following the government’s latest announcement of a full UK lockdown.
Enterprising hospitality businesses up and down the country are boxing up their offerings and shipping them directly to your door, offering a lifeline through takeaways and home deliveries.
The consumer spending experts at money.co.uk have compiled a list of the independent businesses across the nation who have had to think outside (and inside) the box. Here we’ve selected some of our favourites from across the UK.
From cook-at-home hamper kits to take away drink delivery services, these are the independent businesses you can still support whilst under the highest restrictions.
Patty and Bun- London
Winner of Time Out’s “Best DIY Kit” in their lockdown awards, Patty and Bun have introduced different kits, including ‘lockdown DIY kits’, vegan alternatives and date-night bundles that are accompanied with cocktails. Each kit provides all the ingredients you’ll need to make the brand’s signature burgers, and each kit is accompanied by easy-to-follow recipe cards. Fresh garnishes such as tomatoes and lettuce are best bought on the day.
