Smart Bites + Cool Drinks
Welcome to the world of platter food-where cooking meets conviviality, and you're freed from the kitchen to enjoy the party too. This is food built for prepping ahead and sharing in Full Graze Mode, delivering big flavour without last-minute fluster. Think vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired dips, fluffy Chinese duck bao, and the pimped-up hummus of your dreams.
And because no great spread is complete without a drink, this book also shakes things up with a lineup of next-level cocktails. From fresh, citrusy spritzes to bold, party-starting classics, there's a sip for every occasion.
Not every dish here lands on a literal platter-some arrive in bowls, some on plates, and some just wherever they look best. But who's counting? The real star is the generous, communal spirit-because no matter how it's served, this food (and these drinks) are all about gathering, grazing, and getting stuck in.
Perfect for effortless entertaining, Smart Bites + Cool Drinks is a must-have for hosts who love bold flavours, unfussy food, and a cocktail that hits just right.
Shipping & Delivery
In order to make things simple and convenient, we have set our delivery pricing with our couriers based on a standard delivery box, with dimensions of 330mm L x 250mm W x 310mm H, and a maximum weight of 18kg.
To get an idea of how much that is, the delivery box fits up to 12 bottles of wine, one kitchen mixer, or a feather and down duvet inner. Your total delivery charge is automatically calculated in the checkout – simply enter your delivery region and let our system do the rest.
Your order is then sent out by our couriers and delivered right to your door. When orders contain alcohol, someone over the age of 18 must be present to sign for it – if you can’t be home at the time, we recommend that the order is sent to a workplace.
If no one aged 18 or over is present when delivery is attempted, a contact card will be left by the courier, and redelivery can be arranged with them.
Once payment is received, your orders will usually be with you in up to 5 working. You can track your order once it has been collected by Courier Post – an email with the tracking reference will be sent to you automatically. Please note that Courier Post do not collect from us on Saturday or Sunday, any orders placed during the weekend will be dispatched the following Monday.
Please note: We cannot accommodate requests for a specific delivery time; actual delivery times will be dependent on the courier's schedule.
While we do everything we can to get your order to you as quickly as possible, there may be occasions where orders may take longer to arrive – you can follow your order’s progress using the courier tracking reference.

Q: I’ve seen a product in store but can’t find it on your website. How can I order it?
If there's something you are after that isn't yet available here on our website, contact us and we'll see what we can do. If it’s something we have in stock and can send by courier, we will do our very best to make it available on our website.
Q: Why is there a minimum order quantity for some products?
Some of our products – such as beer and grocery items – can be bought individually in store, but we can only courier them in set quantities (such as boxes, cases or cartons). It is often quite a lot cheaper to buy in these quantities, which is why we show both the individual and bulk prices on the product pages. It’s always nice to know what you’re saving!
