mail order picks...and the beers to go with
There are over 2,000 breweries in the UK now, so you shouldn’t
have much trouble finding a good one near you that delivers
locally for free. Of those that dispatch nationwide, east London’s
live-music-inspired Signature Brew is a standout. There’s the
proximate coolness of their band-collaboration brews, but
more importantly the beer is good. Plus, 20 per cent of the
proceeds from each can of All Together IPA, a worldwide
collaboration based on a recipe from New York, go to support
hospitality professionals – feel benevolent as you slurp away.

Bags made from recycled plastic and material? That’s
good news after hearing stories that some of the
UK’s plastic waste is shipped abroad, then burned.
Herd bags, brainchild of sustainability expert Nancy
Powell, come in striking designs, in three sizes, and
are made to last a lifetime. I recommend the small- roomy enough for a quick local shop – or medium,
which has a zip top. From £12, herdbags.co.uk
A sunny table
One for a balcony, patio or quiet corner:
a small (70cm diameter) powder-coated
weatherproof aluminium table in high-
summer deep sky blue. Just add a cup of
coffee, a good book and a chair.

10%Like many people, I got stuck into the food and drink deliveries
in lockdown. But now I’ve realised how easy it is and how
superior the products can be, I’ve carried on afterwards –
especially since I’m still ‘WFH’. Here are a couple of things
I’ve tested (someone’s gotta do it) that are worth ordering inMeat for the BBQ
The sausages from Morton’s
Family Farm, near Norwich,
from curly-coated Mangalitza
pigs, are possibly the best I’ve
ever had. Their meat boxes
(£45) change monthly and may
include high-welfare meat from
other local small farms as well
as Morton’s free-range chicken.
