Uber Eats latest delivery service to arrive in Shrewsbury

So far three restaurants have signed up with Uber, the company that offers taxis on demand, after it launched its food service in Shrewsbury.

It has become the third well-known app-based delivery service in Shrewsbury, joining Just Eat and Deliveroo, and will use cars, bikes and mopeds to deliver food across the town.

The company, which is already available in Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Birmingham, said it will offer delivery from local favourites including The Alb, Severn Social and Brooklyn Craft.

However so far the only takeaways listed on its website are Flaming Great, Ganges Indian takeaway, Mad Dogs and Spuds n Dawgs, which has moved into the old Brooklyn Craft site on Castle Street.

Many restaurants offer delivery from more than one of Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats, with the same food offered and the choice of app down to the user.

Toussaint Wattinne, general manager of Uber Eats in the UK, said: “We have been blown away with how popular the app has been in West Midlands so we’re really excited to be expanding further into Shrewsbury.

"People can now get great food at the touch of a button delivered straight to their home or office. We have partnered with plenty of restaurants, so we hope there will be something for everyone’s tastes.”
