Dishpatch: The online directory for restaurant suppliers delivering to your door

The Royal cheesemonger Paxton & Whitfield, Borough Market butcher The Ginger Pig and Brixton’s Salon Wine Store are among the 250 suppliers on Dishpatch’s books. Others include Provisions, Pasta Remoli and Cocoa Runners, which will send you the chocolate-tasting kit.

The simplest part? Terry and Butler now let you order straight from their site (with free delivery). The best friends and hospitality veterans recognise the time pressures on many households in lockdown, so decided to partner with suppliers to sell direct — visitors to dishpatch.co.uk can now buy handpicked boxes of suppliers’ best produce in one click. Think of it as ASOS for your weekly shop, minus the delivery fee.

Just like ASOS, you can search however you like — by location or category. Dishpatch’s website offers pictures of each food box and handy emojis to show you what each producer is selling. And if you need extra inspiration, its shiny new Instagram (@thedishpatch) is an ode to the best of the capital’s produce: fresh green beans from I A Harris in New Covent Garden; rainbow ravioli from Acton’s La Tua Pasta; ruby red vermouth from Hoxton’s Tutto Wines.

Planning a BBQ? Those plump Pale Green Dot sausages on your feed can be delivered next day. Resisted making a #stayhome sourdough? Let Crumb’s home loaf-baking kit be your guide. And if you know a great little place that’s not on Dishpatch’s list, you can submit it for inclusion on their website. Tell all your neighbours — Dishpatch plans to go nationwide very soon.
