The long weekend is approaching and what better way to spend your extra day off than to eat lots of delicious food! This weekend it's time to celebrate the final days of lockdown (safely in our bubbles), and we think some city centre treats will do the trick. There are still some restaurants and cafes that are able to deliver to you during the lockdown, which means you can plan the ultimate public holiday feast! See our guide below for our suggestions on where to shop online for some tasty treats to be delivered right to your front door.

If Kōkako is your coffee of choice, you can order that online for delivery too! Kōkako are helping support cafes during this time and Scarecrow cafe is one of them. Order a bag of the medium-bodied juicy blend usually found at Scarecrow online from Kōkako. 25% of the sale of this bag of coffee goes to the Scarecrow cafe to give them a helping hand to open back up once lockdown lifts.

A fresh loaf of bread is needed for a delicious breakfast, shop online at Paneton for sourdough, barley or multigrain loaves for the perfect base to that eggs bene you have been perfecting, or go the sweet option and whip up some French toast. While you’re ordering your fresh bread, pop a pack of Pain Au Chocolat in the trolley too, these will come in handy when you’re feeling like a treat to have with your afternoon cup of tea.
