Win a terrific Tracklements food box!

We’re spreading the love this February with a chance for three of you to win one of these fabulous food boxes from the family owned Tracklements which we hope will provide much needed cheer and pzazz to your food during lockdown.

I’ve always been a fan of their mustards but hadn’t realised how many products they did now. Since the founder William Tulberg’s son Guy took over they now have eight varieties of mustard and over 40 award-winning chutneys, relishes and sauces. You can find some clever ways to use them if you follow their instagram @tracklements and hashtag #tastytracklements

The eco-friendly range is still handmade in Wiltshire, to traditional recipes, using the best quality ingredients sourced locally wherever possible to ensure the products taste as good as, if not better than, homemade.

Each box will include

• Engraved Slate cheeseboard
• Handmade Pickles & Preserves Recipe Book
• Apron
• Tea towel
• 9 Mini Jar Gift Pack
• Condiment caddy filled with: Sticky Fig Relish, Fresh Chilli Jam, Caramelised Onion Marmalade, Robust Wholegrain Mustard, Strong Horseradish Cream (my favourite) and Apricot & Ginger Chutney

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday February 28th 2021 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

Win a fantastic Hawksmoor steak box for two

Now I know this month’s prize might be considered unsuitable for January being neither meat-, carb- or alcohol-free but given we’re all in lockdown AGAIN we thought it might be welcome. Especially if you’re a Hawksmoor fan and can’t get to the restaurants currently.

I’ve persuaded my son Will* to offer not just one but two of their fabulous Porterhouse boxes worth £125 each. You can find the exact contents on the Hawksmoor website but here's how they describe it:

"The star of the show is a properly dry-aged giant Porterhouse for 2, from the same traditional breed grass-fed beef served in our restaurants. Along with everything you need to make bone marrow gravy alongside our Executive Chef - Matt Brown's ultimate oven chips and creamed spinach. Finish off the evening with a large sticky toffee pudding to share with our favourite clotted cream to dollop on top.

To get you in the mood? A specially created bottle of Hawksmoor Ultimate Martini you just need to stick in the freezer for a couple of hours, no shaking, no stirring, the perfect martini every time. There’s also a bottle of one of our favourite wines, Rosso Braida, and a couple of Hawksmoor IPAs."

Now you’ll need to be on the ball with this one because the closing date is earlier than usual at 11.59pm GMT on Wednesday January 20th and we will need our winners to accept the prize by return in order to have it out for delivery the following week - the last week when that particular box is going to be available.

You will also need to consume the contents within two days of delivery - they are not suitable for home freezing.

Win a £240 annual membership of Churchill’s new port.club

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. Although I can’t imagine Christmas without port it seems crazy to deny ourselves the pleasure of drinking it at other times of year, doesn’t it? Well the clever people at Churchill’s have come up with the idea of an online port club which delivers a quarterly port pack of three of Churchill’s award-winning ports.

Churchill’s is the youngest and smallest of the big-name port houses, fusing a drier style of port with minimal intervention viticulture and winemaking. All Churchill’s ports are foot-trodden, using only Grade-A grapes and natural yeast for extended fermentation. This allows for the purest expression of fruit – with more grape sugar converted to alcohol and less brandy required in fortification. The result is their signature fresh style.

The annual membership of the Port.Club they’re offering as a prize includes a quarterly delivery of a three-bottle Port Packs with one everyday port, one special occasion port, and one unique Club Port selected and blended by Churchill’s founder and head winemaker Johnny Graham exclusively for club members. The three ports in the first pack will be: Churchill’s Reserve Port, Churchill’s 20 Year Old Tawny Port and a club exclusive release of Churchill’s Quinta da Gricha 2009 single quinta Vintage Port. All are ready to drink now.

Each shipment also comes with materials explaining what’s in the pack and an invitation to a virtual tasting with Johnny. In addition, members will have access to exclusive port experiences both online and in-person. From VIP access to Churchill’s intimate 4-bedroom Vineyard House in the Douro Valley to bespoke programs at Churchill’s award-winning Lodge in bustling Porto, Port.Club serves as a portal to the world of port for members and their friends.

Annual membership to the Churchill’s port club costs £240 and quarterly membership is priced at £70. Anyone purchasing an annual membership by January 15th 2021 can gift an additional pack worth £70 (which needs to be ordered by 20th December to ensure delivery before Christmas). You can find full details on their website port.club

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Thursday December 31st 2020 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.
