Not your average takeaway: Chateaubriand and artisan cheeses on the menu as Six by Nico team bring restaurant quality experiences to homes

Home-X was unveiled today to bring restaurant experiences into homes across the UK

Spearheaded by Chef Nico Simeone and Six by Nico marketing guru Michael Sim, HOME-X has been created to satiate the nation’s appetite for quality food and drink products at home.

Initially the new platform has launched with six new food and drink brands and customers will be able to enjoy everything from vegan tasting dishes, hand picked artisan cheeses, exceptional wines, and pre-prepared Chateaubriand.

The experiences include pre-prepared ingredients and full cooking instructions and each experience will be refreshed every month.

The first brands to launch on the platform include Home by Nico, STEM wine club, Chateau-X, The Cheese Club, and vegan offering 24-Carrot.

Each experience will be carefully pre-prepared and packaged at a new warehouse in Glasgow, in branded boxes, and kitted out in the very latest food shipping storage technology.

Home by Nico will be available nationwide for the first time ever. The dine at home experience will follow a similar format to the Six by Nico restaurants - with an ever changing four course tasting menu and will provide two people with an experience that simply needs to be assembled and finished at home.

Chateau-X offers a perfectly seasoned cut of mouth watering chateaubriand, paired with three tasty sides and a bottle of wine.

STEM will offer a bespoke selection of exceptional wines, personally curated and developed by Six by Nico COO Rachael Rafferty. Each month, five half bottles of the world’s best wine will be carefully curated and delivered direct.

The first of its kind, 24 Carrot is positioned as eight vegan tasting dishes made for sharing, created by a team of non-vegan chefs who love good food, for those on a plant based food diet, or the ideal place to begin for those who want to be more conscious of their meat consumption.

The Cheese Club will offer the ultimate indulgence with five unique artisan cheeses paired with homemade chutneys and relishes, crispy crackers and the finest port. Curated and handpicked alongside renowned Cheesemongers I.J Melis, The Cheese Club is a masterpiece of taste and texture.

E.Eatery will be the final brand that HOME-X will launch in its initial stages, and will provide at home experiences in collaboration with some of the UK's top independent restaurants.

A pressed juice brand and a Sunday Roast brand are also in the pipeline for the platform early next year.

Entrepreneur and Chef Nico Simeone said: "When we were forced to close the Six by Nico restaurants, we gave fans a chance to make our signature tasting menu at home and the feedback was phenomenal. We packed and distributed over 100,000 meals but we felt there was so much scope to service the rest of the UK.”
