Food delivery company Deliveroo is launching in Clacton-on-Sea this week.

It means people will now be able to order food from a range of restaurants and grocery retailers in the local area to their front door.

Deliveroo is an app and website, which will be working with independent restaurants such as Bluebirds, JD's Pie 'n' Mash and Cluckin Lovely Chicken, well-known high street sites like Prezzo and KFC, and grocery retailers and convenience stores such as One Stop.

The food delivery company has said it will continue to add new local restaurants, takeaways and convenience stores to the platform over the coming months.

The launch has been described as a "major boost" to small restaurant businesses across Clacton-on-Sea.

Deliveroo will also be looking for up to 50 people in Clacton-on-Sea to become riders.

Harrison Foster, regional director in the UK said:

"Launching in Clacton-on-Sea is a key milestone for Deliveroo.

"Clacton-on-Sea as a thriving foodie community and a wide range of restaurants and retailers, so we’re excited to connect them.

"We look forward to working with our new partners to reach a new customer base and expand their businesses."
