- Crosstown Doughnuts kick off nationwide next-day doughnut delivery
Many offices remain closed in London and while most of us aren't missing the daily commute itself, we are missing the daily and easy access to all the shops and restaurants that London has to offer. But if you've been a fan of Crosstown Doughnuts but are now no longer near one of their stalls or stores - they're coming to you instead.
Crosstown are now offering national next-day delivery on their

First up is the really full-on approach, which essentially brings the restaurant to you. This is completely bespoke and will be fully catered, with chefs and front-of-house staff coming to your home (with all necessary social distancing, of
... - Victor Garvey's SOLA is delivering tasting menus via bento box
Getting into the delivery business with something that looks pretty special is Victor Garvey's Californian restaurant in Soho, SOLA. That restaurant is mainly all about its tasting menus, so the delivery service is trying to get as close to that as possible - and it's doing that with BENTŌ by SOLA.
There will be two boxes - the five-course version (£69) or the 10-course tasting menu (£109) - all presented in a
... - Creme London's incredibly gooey cookies are being delivered nationwide
Artisan cookie purveyors Creme London in Soho have become something of an Instagram sensation since they launched, just under a year ago. They make huge gooey cookies, created by Michelin-trained executive chef Jeremy Coste, that you may well have seen people tearing apart in your feed. But if you didn't manage to make it down before lockdown and aren't heading into Soho yet - they're now delivering to

- James Knappett's two-Michelin starred Kitchen Table starts delivering - and gets ready for a big refurb
Changes are afoot at The Kitchen Table.
The two-Michelin starred restaurant is essentially one big kitchen counter for communal eating. That's been great up until now - but doesn't quite work with the new socially distant age. So the restaurant is not only getting a big refurbishment, but it's also expanding into the Bubbledogs space, where they'll be adding a

- Shake Shack are launching a ShackBurger DIY kit
The latest burger joint to get into the DIY kit game is none other than US import Shake Shack. They've pulled together a kit which lets you recreate a ShackBurger at home - and that means it also contains their amazing potato buns (which we just can't get enough of, to be honest).
The kit has enough to make four ShackBurgers with the burgers, Shack sauce, American cheese, lettuce and tomato all included along with

- Dishoom launches new kitchens to deliver across London
As restaurants re-open, there's always the possibility that some of the delivery services we've come to enjoy will actually start to close. That's because running a full restaurant and a delivery service concurrently is quite the effort - particularly when a lot of focus needs to be on the people dining-in.
But if you've been worried that Dishoom's new deliveries will stop then worry no more. They've

- Gallio pizza brings in Norma's Ben Tish for a mould-breaking delivery menu
A new pizza company about to hit London are claiming that their pizzas are devised specifically to relieve that bloated post-pizza feeling. Gallio are using only ancient grains to make their pizza bases. Apparently those olde grains are high in protein and antioxidants and more easily digestible than newer flours.
Just as interesting as the pizza dough itself is the pizzeria's decision to bring in Norma chef Ben Tish for some of the menu as a
