Delivery is free of charge for orders over £10, and there’s a 15 per cent discount for workers in the public sector.

Loyal Tavern, Bermondsey

Duck and Waffle alumni chef Tom Cenci posted yesterday that Loyal Tavern will serve as a deli to its local community, rather than focus on a delivery service. If you know someone vulnerable who could do with a hand, why not put them in touch? Cenci and his team will pack grocery boxes for the elderly, and help spread produce such as egg, pasta, loo roll, vegetables, charcuterie and wine among locals.

The Camberwell Arms, Camberwell 

Lambeth’s Camberwell Arms has been transformed into a grocery store and delivery service. Signature dishes and daily essentials – including fresh pasta, Focaccia and seasonal fruit pastries – are available for delivery and collection between Wednesday and Sunday. The pub has also launched Hampers for Heroes, an initiative where you can ‘buy one, give one’. If you select this option you will receive a Camberwell Arms Essentials Food Hamper, stocked with the help of local suppliers, and the pub will provide one to the NHS, covering the delivery cost for every hamper sent to hospitals.

Brat, Shoreditch

Housed in a former strip club in Shoreditch, Michelin-starred Brat is the first solo restaurant from Welsh chef Tomos Parry.

Jones & Sons, Dalston 

While Jones & Sons in Dalston may have temporarily closed its doors, you can still order dishes for delivery or pick-up. Start with Korean fried chicken, gnocchi and crispy miso aubergine, followed by whole grilled beam and rib-eye steak, with lobster mac and cheese on the side.

Angelina, Dalston 

Angelina harmoniously brings together Japanese and Italian dishes on one menu, similar to Sumosan Twiga, but set in the heart of Dalston. While mozzarella and miso may sound like unlikely bedfellows, the split menu allows you to order both ramen and risotto, as well as platters of fritto misto, including stuffed olives, croquettes and crispy Japanese-fried chicken. You can also add wine and vacuum-packed cocktails – we recommend the negroni in a bag.

Dabbadrop, Hackney / Leyton / Tower Hamlets

Dabbadrop opened in January as London’s first plastic-free, vegan takeaway, delivering dishes in metal ‘dabba’ boxes, which are similar to a tiffin carrier. Billed as ‘convenience with a conscience,’ the Asian menu specialises in plant-based meals, including colourful curries and the signature slow-cooked daal, as well as punchy extras like rich aloo chaat and avocado raita. Diners sign up in advance to a weekly subscription service from £32, available in Hackney, Leyton and Tower Hamlets.

Daylesford, South Kensington / Notting Hill / Pimlico / Marylebone

Lady Carole Bamford’s ultra-glossy London farm shops are restocked daily with organic eggs, fresh meat and vegetables, direct from the Bamford farm in the Cotswolds. There is a home delivery service available, but it is currently facing high demand. You can however order hot and cold dishes via Deliveroo, including full vegan breakfasts, fresh smoothies, warm salads and comforting spiced chicken tagine or lamb casserole.

San Pietro, Kensington 

For those looking for Italian seafood done properly look no further than San Pietro, located in a quiet neighbourhood area off High Street Kensington. You’ll be served prawns so fresh, you’ll actually want to eat the meaty insides of the head. A constantly rotating menu reflects the fresh produce that is flown in direct from Italy, and the restaurant has even opened up a picturesque seafood stall during the quarantine. Alongside classic seafood staples like Risotto nero di Seppia (delightfully sprinkled with lemon) and Spaghetti gamberi e calamari, they also do pizza for a quick bite. But let’s be honest, there are fewer delights to be had in summer than ordering a bucketful of prawns and an oven-baked bass.

Sumosan Twiga, Knightsbridge  

Supper, the capital’s fine-dining answer to Deliveroo, is offering Londoners the chance to experience food from the city’s best restaurants in the comfort of their own homes. The latest big-name restaurant to sign-up to the app is Knightsbridge’s Sumosan Twiga, the east-meets-west gourmet-party venue from hospitality powerhouse Flavio Briatore. A mashup of menus from Japanese favourite Sumosan (by Janina Wolkow) and Briatore’s nightclub-restaurant Twiga, the Sloane Street venue serves upmarket sushi and sashimi alongside traditional Italian dishes. Choose from home-made burrata and winter black truffle ravioli to crispy rice with salmon tartare. Other highlights include wild mushroom risotto with black truffle, paccheri with lobster, grilled Angus tenderloin and Alaskan marinated miso black cod. If you can’t go to the party, let the party come to you.

Then there are proper meals like beef goulash, chicken curry or lasagna that you can either eat straight away or freeze, plus brightening fresh salads and sharing platters.

HIDE, Mayfair

HIDE at Home has launched a delivery service now that we’re all, err, hiding at home. The Michelin star restaurant, famed for its elaborate wooden central staircase, has partnered with fine dining app Supper to offer a curated menu from head chef Ollie Dabbous. Dishes that travel well include suckling pig with mustard fruit puree, crushed turnip and black pudding, roast scallop with Jerusalem artichoke and black truffle, and Burrata with confit tamarillo, basil & olive oil.

There is also a selection of ‘al desko’ lunch options for those still working nearby to the restaurant, along with a grocery service selling store staples, fresh produce and household items.
