• Rounding up the best places for food delivery and takeaways in London

  All of London's restaurants and cafes may be closed for dining in - but many of them are still open for take-out or delivering across the capital. Here's our round-up of the best (we'll be adding more areas in the coming days): 

• Hackney now has a roving pub service serving freshly poured pints

  

  Despite the Prime Minister talking about a potential July opening for some hospitality businesses, most people suspect that pubs - particularly those without big beer gardens - will be among the last places to emerge from lockdown. That's a long time to wait for a pint. Which is why East London's Forest Road Brewing Company has come up with an idea.

  Their mobile pub will bring you a freshly poured pint direct to your door. Pint

• Little Duck Home Kitchen is the home version of The Picklery in Dalston

  

  As we now know, restaurants aren't going to return in any kind of dine-in version until July at the earliest, so there will be an increasing amount hoping to (at least temporarily) morph into an at-home service. The latest of these is Little Duck - The Picklery who have just launched Little Duck Home Kitchen. 

  The Dalston restaurant, from the people behind Ducksoup and Rawduck, have launched

• Angela Hartnett's Cafe Murano starts delivery from Bermondsey

  

  Ever since we spotted her talking on Instagram about getting ready to do takeaways, we've been waiting for Angela Hartnett to release more details. In an email to customers today she finally revealed that she'll be doing a delivery service for Cafe Murano.

  Using the group's latest restaurant to open - the one in Bermondsey - they'll be doing all manner of ready-made meals and fresh pasta both to collect

• Shake Shack's burgers are back in London

  

  Update - 7/5/20

  There are even more Shake Shacks on the way! This time they're opening two Deliveroo kitchens, so they're reaching areas of London that were previously deprived of Shack Burgers and frozen custard. First up is Battersea, opening on 9 May 2020 (delivering to SW11 including Balham, Brixton and Clapham) and that's being followed up by Swiss Cottage in the near future.

• Test Driving José Pizarro's tapas - get the whole José experience at home

  

  José's tapas bar may be closed, but you can get the complete Pizarro experience at home, delivered. We gave it a try.  

• Nobu London is delivering - and that includes their black cod miso

  

  Yes, that's right - it's another re-opening! This time it's the turn of high-end Japanese restaurant Nobu, which is kicking off its new delivery service from today. They'll be on both Deliveroo and Supper, where they'll have a menu featuring Nobu classics. That means yes, you can get their signature dish, Black Cod Miso delivered - but it will cost you £42.50. Ouch. That's the same price it was in the restaurant,

• Chik'n is back, delivering from Baker Street

   

  It's not Chick n Sours - yet - but if you've been hankering for some of Carl Clarke and David Wolanski's superlative fried chicken, then the re-opening of Chik'n on Baker Street should do the job. They're back up on Deliveroo now, with the usual burgers and tenders including:

  • BBQ Deluxe -
  ...
• Test Driving Arros QD's delivery options - paella, prawns and more...

  

  Top Spanish chef Quique Dacosta's London outpost has moved into delivery during the London lockdown, but they have three different levels on offer. We put a few of them to the test. 

• Twisted London open their King's Cross restaurant ahead of schedule

  

  Often, a story we write is all about a new restaurant opening. And eventually Twisted London's new King's Cross venue will actually open as a counter service restaurant. Just not today. Instead, they'll launch as a delivery-only spot, like they do from their original Shoreditch location. So all the interesting dishes they come up with that are usually only available in East London should be now on offer to North Londoners too.
