MELROSE & MORGAN PICNIC COLLECTION

It's a well known fact that Melrose & Morgan, the North London grocer and kitchen company, make some of the best, most filling, and most delicious picnic hampers on the market. This year, their famous picnic collection includes The Traditional Picnic (think scotch eggs, pork sausage rolls, sweet peppers filled with feta, manzanilla green olives, strawberries and rich chocolate brownies), which can have foods swapped in and out depending on dietary requirements, and the Heath & Hill Picnic (options include hummus, charcuterie, Melrose & Morgan’s homemade fig and apple chutney, avocado and Golden cross goat’s cheese, and much more). Better yet, each picnic comes in its own ‘PICNIC’ tote bag to keep.

GROCERY SHOPPING

Karma is a lovely tiny Jewish bakery on South End Road which does killer challah. I’m from Hungary and I hadn’t had challah like that since I moved away 23 years ago. It’s a special gem.
Artichoke on England’s Lane sells the most amazing fruit and vegetables. For meat or cheese, I’ll go to the Hampstead Butcher.
There’s a great wine shop that’s opened on our end of Hampstead High Street called Amathus Drinks. They’re so knowledgeable. You’ll ask for a rosé and they’ll open a few bottles and get you tasting.
Melrose and Morgan is another lovely deli with outposts in Primrose Hill and Hampstead.

MELROSE AND MORGAN

This mini-chain of north London delis has a serious USP: an extensive house range of groceries made in small batches from mostly British ingredients. Aesthetically pleasing red-and-white jars of ketchup, pickles and jams are neatly arranged alongside packets of their moreish granola, crackers, chocolates and biscuits. But they don’t just sell their own snacks – other London-based producers get a look in, too, including Secret Smokehouse, Hackney Gelato and La Fromagerie. There are quiches, salads, sandwiches and cakes to eat or take away. But buyers beware, the quality of the products is high – with the price tags to match.

MELROSE AND MORGAN

Melrose & Morgan’s two locations in Primrose Hill and Hampstead, which brim with artisan produce and local, seasonal ingredients, became meccas for Londoners trying to recreate restaurant-quality food at home during lockdown. Now it’s casting its net a little wider with a range of ready-to-eat picnic hampers available for nationwide delivery. The range is truly vast, spanning everything from elevenses and aperitifs to selections inspired by Gloucester and Sweden. For an all-out picnic experience, however, we recommend The Traditional Picnic, filled with classic components such as scotch eggs, sausage rolls, sweet peppers with feta, manzanilla olives and strawberries (and a vegetarian option with vegan sausage rolls). For those looking to veer away from the traditional, The Heath and Hill Picnic offers a Mediterranean take with the likes of hummus, charcuterie, fig and apple chutney, Brindisa cocktail snacks and grilled artichoke. Lastly, the Sandwich Picnic is filled with an array of sandwiches including cheese and red marmalade, smashed avocado with sweet chilli jam and egg mayo and cress.

Perello Gordal Olives add to the feast as well as M & M’s own brand Parmesan and Poppyseed Biscuits, and Buttermilk Crackers.

WATER LANE RESTAURANT REVIEW

This small wonderland is an "ongoing restoration project" from partners Ian James and Nick Selby (of north London's cult Melrose and Morgan delis; Alan Bennett in the foreword to their book, Good Food for Your Table - available at the on-site shop, folks - repeats its joke reputation as "Prada for the larder"). They call themselves custodians, not owners. Once inside the walled gardens, the restaurant turns out to be an open kitchen housed in sea containers, some chic garden furniture and a vast, snowy open-sided canvas sail by way of weatherproofing. (Come winter, it relocates to one of the conservatories: Pelargonium House, I think.) It seems to have grown as organically out of the landscape as the fat, knobbly produce on sale at the shop.

Melrose & Morgan is a grocer and kitchen with two shops in Primrose Hill and Hampstead Village. In the latest addition to its store cupboard selection, the team have created two new condiments – a tomato ketchup made with locally grown tomatoes and a barbecue sauce which is spicy and tangy with a subtle sweetness. Ideal for BBQ season, both can be bought in store or from its online shop.

SWEET ENDINGS

Though Christmas puds are usually made weeks before the big day, with the right recipe, it’s not too late to create a showstopper to round off your meal…

We asked Nick and Ian at north London grocer Melrose & Morgan for advice on the crafting the perfect pud. They say: “There is something enormously satisfying about making your own plum pudding. We are always asked the secret to getting it perfectly moist but not too gooey. We use butter instead of vegetable suet and this gives a more luxurious texture. The prunes marry well with the brandy. Every Christmas pudding needs a good kick of booze. It’s Christmas after all.”

Maybe the coffee dusted chocolate hazelnuts? Or perhaps the tin of artisan crackers with a generous slab of Keen’s cheddar and Secret Smokehouse smoked salmon? Then there’s the six hand-picked bottles of wine, Michael Gonet 3 Terriors NV champagne, and Melrose & Morgan’s own mulled wine syrup. And we’re not even halfway there. Like we said, where to start?

Not teeny tiny, but not massive either, these elegant mince pies are just a bit over bitesize, leaving you wanting more but never making you feel like you’ve stuffed yourself to bursting.

 If you’ve been tasked with bringing the mince pies to your Christmas drinks party, these from London-based bakery, Melrose and Morgan, are the only ones to take. Don’t just take our word for it either – they have won a Great Taste award too. The pasty is thick and oh-so buttery, without being crumbly, while the mince is handmade. All in all, they’ll go down a storm, so we’d recommend buying in bulk.

The site also very helpfully says if you’re buying them for Christmas day, don’t order before 1 December, so they’re as fresh as can be. And while you’re there, the bakery also offers up plenty of other great bits, like brandy butter and dark chocolate-covered candied orange slices.
