Takeaway delivery service Uber Eats is spreading further across Kent with more towns having access from today.

Starting at 11am today, people in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, and Tonbridge can order food using Uber’s food delivery app.

The popular service is already available in Maidstone, Rochester, and Dartford.

Uber Eats will offer delivery from local favourites including Gurkha Planet in Tonbridge, Zorba Meze Grill in Royal Tunbridge Wells and Brisket & Barrel in Sevenoaks.

The app is powered by the same technology that helps you get from A to B, allowing you to track your delivery and pay using the same account you use for Uber without the need for cash.

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

"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."

Diners can download the Uber Eats app, available for iOS and Android, and order from a wide range of restaurants on their smartphone, or by visiting ubereats.com

The app is available every day of the week from 8:00am - midnight.

The company claims that the app will be good for local restaurants by creating thousands of potential new customers while also offering flexible work opportunities for delivery drivers.
