Are you affected by Deliveroo's pop-up takeaway kitchens?

Deliveroo is using pop-up kitchens in container-like structures to prepare food ostensibly made at well-known restaurants.

The Guardian reported on Sunday that Deliveroo is facing battles with local authorities over its use of the kitchens on car parks and industrial estates, where chefs are making takeaway food for fashionable restaurants such as MEATLiquor, Busaba Eathai and Notting Hill’s Cocotte.

The company plans to have around 200 of the kitchens at 30 sites around the UK by the end of 2017, but Councils in some areas have accused the company of bypassing planning rules and residents have complained of excessive noise from the pods.

We would like to hear from you if you have been affected by any of the issues in the story. Do you work for Deliveroo or any of the food outlets supplying meals through its service? Are you a customer, or do you live near one of the so-called “Rooboxes” and have you experienced problems? Perhaps you think the service is a good idea? If so, we’d also like to hear from you.
