Have you tried Deliveroo yet? The city centre is buzzing with the little scooters and motorbikes carrying restaurant food to hungry folk in Edinburgh. We tried it over the weekend and the service was both quick and friendly.
This new service aims to change eating patterns in the capital with an offering that allows customers to have quality restaurant food delivered direct to their homes or offices.
Working with local independent restaurants and premium chains, hungry residents of Edinburgh and Glasgow can finally order their favourite dishes such as gourmet burgers from GBK, delicious ice-cream from iconic parlour S.Luca, quality burritos from The Squid and Whale and many more. Delivering food to customers via a fleet of delivery mopeds and cars, customers simply need to select dishes, pay online at deliveroo.co.uk and have their order delivered fresh within an average time of 32 minutes from noon until 11pm.
26 local restaurants in Edinburgh are working with Deliveroo at present across their two Edinburgh North and Edinburgh South zones including:
- Laila’s Bistro – a popular Mediterranean bistro in the Old Town
- Hakataya – a Japanese restauraunt in the heart of the New Town
- S.Luca – an iconic icecream parlour that dates back to 1908
Caroline Hazlehurst, Regional Manager for Scotland & North East England said: “We’re really excited about bringing Deliveroo to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The food scene in Scotland is enviable and the restaurant scene thriving, yet up until now food delivery services haven’t catered for those who want to enjoy premium restaurant food at home or at their desk. We’re working with a superb and eclectic selection of Scottish restaurants so it’s time to treat food-lovers in Scotland to the flexibility and level of service that Deliveroo is known for.”
If you try it then do let us know what your experience is like!
