The Rise of At-Home Dining Experiences It’s no surprise that several months of on-going lockdowns have had a deep impact on the British hospitality industry, both for restaurants and their suppliers. But, as always in times of uncertainty, the culinary world has risen to the challenge.
Recognising that diners still want to enjoy the experience of a gourmet meal, even if they’re unable to physically attend a venue, chefs up and down the country are pioneering a new trend in fine dining; the at-home experience. There are two main types of experience; At Home Restaurant Experiences, and Ingredients Boxes. Both involve placing an order with your chosen restaurant or food supplier around a week in advance (although times vary), ready for athome delivery by courier directly to your front door. Ingredients Boxes, such as those recently launched by James Wood of Totally Wild UK, feature all the freshlyforaged ingredients needed to create a meal, which you can then prepare and cook yourself at home, using the recipes and meal ideas included, also available are fresh British produce boxes and even coffee and spirits tasting solutions for at home enjoyment.
