Support the Events Industry as they Support you at Home!
By HOPP TeamThe country might be on lockdown, but the events industry has come up with several ways to help clients to uplift their spirits at home. From creative cocktails to delivering delicious dishes, here’s how to support your favourite suppliers!
1. ORDER A DELIVERY
Some caterers have turned their kitchens into takeaway and doorstep deliveries. Here are some initiatives we like the sound of.
The Kochi Kitchen is doing mouth watering, delicious deliveries in London, Essex and Suffolk which have simple instructions and are suitable for freezing. The menus are vibrant and full of incredible flavours using seasonal, local produce and inspired by Kerala.

Caiger & Co’s innovative & delicious delivery menu includes fresh boxes of amazing produce and meals. Check out their NHS Special where all profit goes to make snacks and treats deliverable to NHS workers & the Easter Box which includes lunch and treats for the family. Their fruit and vegetables are all from the same farm in Sussex, the same farm in that that also uses their waste for compost!

The Full Fat Chef is doing amazing deliveries in Maidenhead (London as of next week) with Cake Wednesdays, Pasta Thursdays and Curry Fridays - our mouths are watering already.
2. BUY THEIR PRODUCE
While some caterers have switched to delivery, others have transformed into amazing operations delivering fresh produce to keep their neighbourhoods eating healthily.
Social Pantry has created a special home-delivery menu made to last for three days, working alongside fabulous suppliers to bring high-quality, fresh and delicious produce. Based in Wandsworth, anyone living within a six-mile radius will be able to purchase one (although they are constantly widening their radius so please get in touch if you live outside). The team will be delivering breakfast, lunch and dinner supplies including eggs, fresh fruit and veg, homemade granola and a complimentary loo roll. Their ‘Get Your Snack On’ box is perfect to enjoy with a glass of wine at the end of a long week.
