LES DEUX PIZZA BAR

This pink-doored-palace in Alderley Edge has proved phenomenally successful since opening last year – a revelatory laidback space squished into the sparkly joints the Edge has become synonymous with. And during lockdown Les Deux continues to hand-stretch its superb pizzas and dish up creamy burrata and tasty starters (courgette tempura, ceviche, charcuterie), divvying them out via Deliveroo every day of the week. lesdeuxpizzabar.com

A TRIO OF MOBBERLEY CLASSICS

Live within three miles of Mobberley and you can still chow down on reassuring comfort dishes from the lockdown pop-up Pub Hub Shop, courtesy of The Bulls Head, The Church Inn and The Roebuck. Daily changing menus can be delivered or picked up with reliably tasty items such as beef bourguignon, fish pie and hearty breakfasts; there are local ingredients, from Cheshire Farm ice cream to Sapling Farm eggs and fruit and veg from Wellocks. Oh, and there’s gin from Mobberley-based Big Hill Distillery, plus whole casks with enough ale for 72 pints. pubhubmobberley.co.uk
