A popular on-demand service which delivers restaurant food to homes is coming to Ashford this summer.

Deliveroo, which already operates in Canterbury, will launch in the town later this month.

It allows customers to order food from restaurants using the Deliveroo website or app and get it delivered to their front door.

Although the service is expected to launch this month, an official date has not yet been released.

Orders can be scheduled up to one day in advance using the app.

Applications for riders are open, as the company is searching for bicycle, scooter or motorbike riders to deliver the food across Ashford.

Managing director, Dan Warne said: “We have seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Ashford and we're excited to be launching this month.

"We are feeling very positive about the creation of new work opportunities for local people.

"We would encourage anyone looking for a fast paced and exciting atmosphere to apply through our website.”
