Stack at Home Kit
The Meat:Stack Shop is home to the comfort food we’re all craving in lockdown! Go here for a weekend feast sure to put smiles on faces. We recently tried the West Coast Classic Deluxe kit and we couldn’t recommend it enough! Expect perfectly formed patties in sweet buttery buns, topped with streaky bacon, gouda cheese, ketchup, American mustard and the all-important Meat:Stack secret seasoning - the icing on the cake! The kit comes complete with everything you need to master your West Coast Classic at home. All you’ll need is a large frying pan with a lid (or baking sheet), a spatula, teaspoon, lettuce (if you’d like to add it to your burger), a cup of water, and of course, a very hungry household!
Dobson & Parnell at Home
D&P at Home has been keeping us going when it comes to fine dining at our own dinner table, and it shows no signs of slowing down as the restaurant team works behind the scenes for reopening in the coming months! This must-try service celebrates the finest local produce with a seasonal twist, taking you on a tasty journey through three courses of quality cuisine. Great if you’re celebrating something special this spring, or you just want to mark the weekend in style! Head over to the D&P website, select your menu, collection or delivery slot, and prepare for a fine feast!
