9 of the best food and drink DIY kits you can get delivered straight to your door

With many popular restaurants and bars either operating at reduced hours or closed across the UK, we take a look at some of the best DIY 'cook at home' kits, as well as a range of cocktail delivery services.

Mothership Scotland

Mothership, an online drinks retailer set up by the founders of Edinburgh’s award-winning cocktail bar Bramble, announced back in March that it would start stocking products from other, local producers and offer shipping across the UK mainland.

While Bramble and its sister bars, Lucky Liquor Co and the Last Word Saloon, are closed in line with the Government’s instructions during these challenging times, Mothership is able to continue delivering directly to home cocktail enthusiasts via online delivery.

“This is a really tough time for hospitality, but we’re fortunate that we have an avenue where we can still do what we’re best at – getting great drinks into people’s hands to help them enjoy themselves," said co-founder, Jason Scott.

"It might not be much, but hopefully it’s something that can help bring a little joy and every sale through Mothership helps us for the future when we can reopen the bars.”

Your freshly made drinks will arrive in a branded box, and be kept safe from breakages by being packaged with popcorn, rather than in plastic. To see what's on offer - including cocktails, beer, wine and spirits - and place an order, visit the website.

Stein's at Home

For a taste of Rick Stein's famed seafood dishes at your kitchen table, look no further than Stein's at Home.

Each box contains all you need to feed two people a delicious three course meal. All the preparation has been done by the Rick Stein team. All that's needed from you is to cook and plate up the dishes.

There are currently three boxes to choose from - The Hake Box, The Indonesian Curry Box, and The Lobster Box, priced from £40 per box.

Example dishes include starters of grilled scallops with a hazelnut and coriander butter; classic Moules mariniere and smoked mackerel pate; mains of grilled hake piperade; Indonesian seafood curry with pilau rice and a green bean and coconut salad, and a delicious lobster thermidor.

To round off the experience, why not add a bottle or two to the box, chosen by Head of Drinks and Sommelier, Charlie Stein?

Mac & Wild

Earlier this year, Mac & Wild announced that its award-winning venison and beef or ‘venimoo’ burger kits would be made available for nationwide delivery.
