High street big hitters like KFC along with local gems like Craft & Skewers, JellyPickleJam, and Roly Poly Eats will be available to order on the platform.

Peckish punters will also be able to use Deliveroo to stock up on groceries, with retailers like the Co-operative and Majestic Wine added to the list delivery options on offer.
