Hull sandwich shop expands with national lockdown delivery service

A Yorkshire sandwich shop has announced that it is expanding following its success during lockdown.

Relish, based on Silver Street in Hull, launched the Little Weighton Kitchen delivery and collection service during lockdown, and is now expanding nationally.

The company devises healthy recipes using fresh ingredients which customers can unpack at home to create their own meals.

It is now launching a national delivery service, and will be offering the meal boxes for collection once lockdown restrictions are lifted.

Micaela Clegg, owner of the business, said: “During the first lockdown, like most business owners, we had no choice but to close both The Black Horse and Relish so we set to work planning a new venture and filling a gap in the market for a truly local recipe box.

“We are championing the best produce Yorkshire has to offer and supporting fellow small businesses by presenting seasonal, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients to enable users to cook imaginative and delicious meals with ease at home.

“We really miss all our regular customers at Relish but we are reaching many of them with Little Weighton Kitchen and we hope to get to the rest of them soon. We can’t wait to reopen and we’re looking forward to adding the recipe boxes for people to call in and collect.”

Kathryn Shillito, HullBID executive director, said: “It has been a really difficult time for the food and beverage sector and it’s great to see everyone at Relish taking such an innovative approach to keeping their business ticking over.

“It’s a bonus that the recipe boxes will also become part of the regular offer at the sandwich shop, adding something new to the great variety of dining options available across the city centre.”
