JOSÉ PIZARRO, BERMONDSEY

London’s much-loved Spanish expat has reopened his flagship restaurant as a temporary delicatessen. Catering for every Hispanophile’s wildest dreams, you can pick up pre-cooked mainstays straight from the Pizarro menu: think savoury jamón croquettes, prawns al ajillo and a sublime slow-cooked leg of suckling lamb. Scan the packet’s QR code and the man himself will pop up on screen to show you how to prepare them. Alternatively, create a tapas feast at home with his aged Manchego, Basque anchovies and acorn-fed Iberian ham. josepizarro.com

TOWNSEND, WHITECHAPEL

The paint on the walls of the Whitechapel Gallery’s new modern British restaurant barely had time to dry before lockdown forced it to shut. Undeterred, the East End kitchen has launched a click-and-collect and delivery service for sumptuous three-course recipe boxes – perhaps chilli and marmalade-marinated chicken thighs, followed by poached rhubarb – with a choice tipple. whitechapelgallery.org
