This episode of Table Talk is sponsored by Berry Brothers and Rudd, Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchant.

It isn't possible at the moment to go to your favourite restaurant because restaurants are closed.

But Berry Brothers and Rudd have nobly stepped into the breach with their fantastic new at-home service.

Berries will send a magnificent three-course meal directly to your house

and they'll also provide the ideal wine or wines to go with the food.

What a delicious idea.
