Responsibly Horsed

We’ve decided at Housebites HQ that there’s clearly a big demand for honestly labelled horse meat in the UK (none of this creeping around and sneaking it into dishes malarkey) so we’re proud to announce that – after some rigorous sourcing – you’ll now find it across the majority of ...

New Year, Same Old Us

It’s a New Year, but we’re not going to make use of the very popular ‘New Year, New You’ line. Or ‘New Year, New Us’, for that matter. Because we’re the same old people we were last year, except that we might be slightly fuller/fatter and a wee bit less ...

Vegan Christmas with Chef Eva

A lot of people are scared off by the word ‘vegan’. It sounds intimidating to many, but the thing is it really isn’t. It doesn’t shut off alleys or drain you of vitamins; it’s just an alternative diet, filled with lots of opportunities. I was vegetarian for 20 years before ...

Christmas cheer sung by the Housebites team

We’re feeling overly Christmassy here at Housebites, so here’s us saying Happy Christmas in a rather loud and flamboyant way…quite a few times. Have a very merry Christmas, everyone!

Creative things to whip up (and impress with) this Christmas

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without any cooking or creativity. It’s amazing to witness: as soon as Christmas hits, everyone suddenly dons the creative cap, becomes Blue Peter-worthy, and whips out some fantastic ideas (most of which are edible). Here are a few of our favourites: Sweets and Chocolates If you ...

Becoming a Chocolatier with Chef Laurent

Say it with Housebites

Our chefs have now created a whole load of new MEALS FOR TWO; two of you can eat their delicious, freshly-cooked food, but for cheaper than ordering two separate meals. A pretty brilliant meal deal, really. But alongside that, we’ve now launched new ‘Say it with Housebites’ service, just to make your ...

UK food website of the year!

We’re all buzzing in the office because last night, we were awarded ‘Best Food Website of the Year’ at the Good Web Awards. It’s a massive deal for us, and it’s fantastic to receive such awesome recognition. Thanks so much to all our customers and team, and here’s to many ...

Olive Picking and Cooking with Chef Alice

I can’t imagine there are many chefs that don’t get their inspiration from the food of Italy and I am no exception. When it’s not messed about with and the ingredients are left to do the talking, it’s lip smackingly good in a way that few other cuisines can match. ...

Bristol is known for its foodie population and its amazing culinary knowledge, so it’s fantastic to now be serving locals quality takeaway within this metropolitan city. We’ve got a fantastic array of experienced chefs on ...
