• Mao Chow is coming to Mortimer House for a vegan Chinese pop-up

  

  Before the lockdown, Mortimer House was already the host of a number of highly rated pop-ups and supperclubs. Now, as things inch back to normality, they're starting their residencies again, kicking off with Mao Chow.

• Michelin-starred Kitchen Table reinvents itself as a deli

  

  Yesterday's announcement by the government that restaurants could reopen was welcome news to many. But not all restaurants fit even the 1m plus rule. One such place is Kitchen Table.

• Lima starts delivering and adds the new, more casual, Barranco by Lima

  

  Lima, the Peruvian restaurant in Fitzrovia, is the latest restaurant in town to kick off a delivery service - but not just one. They're launching two different offerings at the same time. 

  First up is Lima at Home. As you can imagine, that's offering up signature Lima dishes to eat... at home. So the menu will feature sea bream or scallop ceviche or slow-braised suckling pig with parsnip &

  They're both open as an online shop, but also as a shop providing food for the locals. If you're nearby,

• Gloria and Circolo Popolare from Big Mamma go takeaway with pizzas & more

  

  Over the past year and a bit, the Big Mamma restaurants Gloria and Circolo Poplare have become huge hits in London. But while it might be a little time before everyone packs into a restaurant like their massive Fitzrovia outpost, that doesn't mean that you can't have a little piece of Big Mamma to take home.

  During lockdown, both restaurants are being turned into a mix of deli and pizzeria as a
