Deliveroo


Recommended Posts

They are slowly expanding by the looks of it. I'm sure they will get to lots of postcodes in the end. They are honest with their timings on the site. Last night at 8pm a Gowlett Pizza was going to take an hour to deliver. We went with a half hour Dominos instead. Wish we hadn't.

There was a gaggle of Deliveroo delivery riders sitting outside the closed cafe next to the Palmeston, a couple sitting astride their scooters at the end of Shawbury rd and one on the tarmac outside Farmers - like the heady old days of dispatch riders waiting for 'the call' - they must be expecting a busy night - doesn't look much fun for them though.

I (very very vaguely) know one of the founders. V smart New Yorker living in London. If your postcode isn't covered and you'd like to be I'd email them. https://deliveroo.co.uk/contact That's how they know where to expand to.

I had no idea they were down in our neck of the woods and delighted we can get Mama Lan dumplings and Honest Burgers!!

I've used them when I work late and they have always been brilliant.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
