Deliverance

Deliver us from tempation

The concept: Any type of takeaway you want from one delivery service. Chinese, European, Italian, Thai etc etc. You won't tolerate your traditional crap local take away once you've seen the quality of food that these people produce. They have the most popular dishes from most regions. The menu is more of a booklet - 9 pages. But easy to use though?

It is expensive though compared to the more local ones that you may be used to and the eco-friendly among you may object to their enthusiastic use of plastic packaging. According to their gblurb they have been described by Timeout / Standard as "one of the best reasons to move to London."

Twat reviewers asides, though, the food is excellent but the trade off is that you'll pay a bit more than your high street outfit.

It does take quite a bit of time though. On average between 45 mins to over an hour. Their coverage of London is divided by having kitchens in different areas. Make sure you call the right one....

Never quite sure whether to tip the drivers or not. They never seem to expect it.

Signed, sealed, delivered...

I consider myself a bit of a takeaway connoisseur. I even have special cutlery to use for takeaway evenings (sad or what?) Here is my assessment of Deliverance. The things I like about this service , 1. The packaging is beautiful. 2. The range of food available is great, so I can eat fried Chinese food while my mate can eat revolting curries. Everyone's a winner. 3. I like the online menus. Easy to navigate. The things I dislike about this service - 1. It takes a long time to arrive. 2. It's often luke warm. Which is really, really annoying
