** Joe’s by Orton’s is now closed****
Leicester had a newbie in town. The inspiration behind Orton’s Brasserie came from Leicester born playwright Joe Orton. Whilst the restaurant is working on opening (and I am eagerly waiting for the day I can eat inside a restaurant), they have been very creative and started a delivery service, Joe’s by Orton’s.
Located opposite the Curve Theatre in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, Joe’s is concentrating on delivering Brunches to start with. Guy Kersey, Owner of Orton’s Brasserie, said of all the meals out that people were missing the most, Brunch was by far the biggest.
The head chef is Justin Akpa who launched his popular street food takeaway brand Plukd so you know the food is going to be full of flavour and made to perfection at Joe’s.
Joe’s by Orton’s have put thought into their menu and how they are packing the food, ensuring sauces are kept separate and containers retain as much heat as possible to deliver that perfect Brunch. There is something for everyone.
I recently received a delicious delivery from Joe’s (gifted). I live 19 minutes drive from town and the food was still at the correct consistency and texture when I received it.
I opted for their Fish & Grains Box. It came in a recyclable box which made a nice change to plastic containers. Hot smoked salmon on a bed of wholesome Quinoa & Tahini served with mixed greens, a tangy dill infused yoghurt and a soft boiled egg. A perfect compiled box with a great variety of textures and flavours.
The portion was generous and the ingredients were fresh tasting and at £8.50 great value for money.
They also offer a selection of smoothies and fruit juices alongside a curated cocktail menu. I went for a Boozy Brunch and added in Mimosa. I love how this was delivered too. The juice came separately with a bottle of fizz. It made the experience at home better because I could pour it myself and the drink was not flat when I received it. A mimosa box (4 servings is available for £20).
So for all those Brunch lovers in Leicester, get ordering because Joe’s will be delivering you a treat that will give you that Brunch fix. You can order your takeaway via JustEat and EatMe from 10 am – 4 pm Wednesday to Sunday.

What a great idea, we used to love going out for brunch, I had not thought of a brunch delivery, will be looking into this as a treat x
I do love that restaurants are finding ways to continue serving their delicious food during the lockdown. This would make the perfect treat for a socially distanced meet up
That looks delicious – light and fresh. The most exciting thing we’ve managed to order is some Papa John’s pizza! I wish these guys were in Cardiff.
That looks like the perfect brunch, so delicious! Wish we had somewhere like that near here – would totally order!
Such a tasty and healthy looking brunch which I would love to try myself. How wonderful that they are doing this to go for everyone to enjoy it
Wish we had one of these near us, that looks amazing. Hubby and I always used to treat each other to breakfast out
This is a really good initiative so that this restuarant can still serve great food even at these times of lockdown! I wish there was one of these in Harrow
OMG this looks so good and it will totally make you feel like you’re eating out at a restaurant! Wish we had one near us!
This sounds like such an amazing idea – I have to admit I love how different companies have adapted to things over the last few months.
I wish I lived in your area to be able to get this gorgeous looking brunch delivered to me. I love that companies are offering delivery services such as this.
I really wish we had something similar here that offered Brunch to go… looks amazing
Ooo how yummy does this look. I could just eat this right now for sure x
It looks delicious and a bit different too. I don’t think I know anywhere around here that delivers for brunch!
I will have to tell my daughter about this place as she lives in Leicester. The food looks delicious and well packed.
This sounds WONDERFUL!
Love the idea of a brunch delivery!
