Time Out #51 | Monday 22 Mar 2021

Prepare for Easter or prepare to fail

Easter Sunday, aka The Lovely Long Weekend, is next weekend. That might sound a decent way off, but you’d be a damn fool to leave your prep to the last minute. That’s right, we ‘prep’ for Easter now. Which might sound OTT, but remember the next lockdown ‘phase’ happens on March 29, so a whole world of new activities suddenly becomes available (mainly picnics and sport)! Our new March 29 Starter’s Pack has everything you need in one place. Now would also be an opportune time to order some actually decent Easter treats, so do peruse our charming round-up. And if you’re going to attempt your own buns, follow the advice of these London bakers.

Three meal kits that blew my mind

The tacos one

I can’t explain how bizarrely happy this short-rib suadero, from Tacos Padre, made me. Couldn’t be simpler. Heat the amazing meat, warm the corn tortillas and away you go.

The Easter feast

A heavy hitter from Townsend in Whitechapel. Freshly baked soda bread, pork rillettes, tons of pickles and ferments, an ultra high-quality leg of lamb, and loads more besides.

The mega roast

Somehow features more pots and ingredients and courses than anything I’ve ever seen, but was also extremely easy to make. Henry Omereye is a genius with chicken.


Don’t forget our massive review of all the London meal kits right here.

London is going to need ‘lost adult’ zones

An expert recently suggested this year’s festivals will need areas for over-stimulated adults to catch their breath after a year of no crowds and no fun. Good idea! Time Out’s over-stimulated deputy editor says: why stop at festivals?

‘If I just closed my laptop and stopped working how long do you reckon until I got sacked?’
