The restaurant delivery scene in London is changing all the time. Here, we're tracking the restaurants that are adding new delivery services as well as big changes to their existing offering - new additions are added to the top of the list. (Don't forget to check out our guide to DIY kits and the best restaurants delivering in London.)
Game of Thrones (and Friends) meal kits
Delivery: Nationwide
They've opened the Batman-themed Park Row to huge interest and now the people behind that launch are setting their sights on another big franchise. To celebrate 10 years of Game of Thrones (on TV) they have a kit that includes dishes like a rich, oozing Red Wedding fondant alongside a dragon-fire smoked braised short rib marinated in Dornish spice (with veggie versions too).
As for the Friends kit - that'll be available for Thanksgiving and yes, there will be a beef-laden trifle in there...
Phil Howard's Otto
Delivery: Nationwide (delivery 15-24 September)
Elystan Street's Phil Howard is bringing his pasta nationwide, working with HG Walter. For two weeks only, there will be dishes like rigatoni with slow-cooked oxtail, field mushrooms, olive oil and red wine. If you're not back in London yet and have been wanting to try his pasta - here's your chance.
Oklava Turkish Cypriot supper
Until October, you can order a meal from Selin Kiazim's Oklava which is based around Turkish and Cypriot dishes with a twist including coal-grilled kofte and vine leaves stuffed with lemon-scented rice. You can even add on one of her Medjool date butter and smoked bacon toasted sandwiches (and you will want to do that).
Dishoom feast
Delivery: Nationwide
The Dishoom bacon naan kit (still available) has been a huge hit - but now they're also delivering the whole Dishoom experience at home. The kit includes House Black Daal, Mattar Paneer, Lamb Sheekh Kababs, Murgh Malai, Bhel, Kachumber, and Tawa Rotis - as well as a Gulkand Mess to finish. They'll even donate a meal to charity for every kit ordered.
Dickie's Bangers
This delivery company has just launched a series of boozy sausages that include a bloody Mary sausage as well as Prosecco and tequila slammer sausages.
Taco Party by El Pastor
Delivery: Nationwide (Delivering 17 Sept - 29 October)
Launching in time for Mexican Independence Day (16 Sept) taco masters El Pastor have a whole taco feast for delivery. There's a choice of El Pastor classics: Short Rib (grass-fed, Angus beef, braised in muscovado sugar, coriander, cumin, fennel, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper) or Cochinita Pibil (slow-cooked pork braised in orange juice and achiote) plus extras like tuna tostadas and more.
Wine Unpacked
Delivery: Nationwide
This is a new wine-tasting delivery company that will send six new wines to taste every month through your letterbox. Inside the compact package are six wines to try, along with an accompanying video tasting class. If you've been looking to broaden your wine horizons from the comfort of your home, this should be well worth a try.
Patty & Bun at Ocado
Delivery: Wherever Ocado delivers
They're continuing with their own meal kits but now you can also get an Ari Gold burger with your weekly Ocado shop. They'll be available as kits with two burgers or if you want to create your own special burger, you can now order just the patties.
The Lina Stores collection
Delivery: Nationwide
The Italian restaurant, which is gearing up for a Marylebone opening, has just launched its own-brand products. They include a Sicilian olive oil, tomato passata, tins of San Marzano tomatoes, pasta (of course) and a range of drinks that includes their own Lina Store Negroni.
