Lockdown doesn’t mean you have to miss out on enjoying a restaurant experience at home. Thanks to some of the country’s most pioneering chefs, many top restaurants now offer At Home meal kits and menu boxes that are freshly prepared on site for you to finish off at home.
After a long January indoors and a lot of drizzly weather outdoors, we definitely deserve a treat – so why not bring a little restaurant-quality fine dining into your home this Spring with one of these scrumptious menu boxes?
