Deliveroo will now drop off a supermarket shop or takeaway to campers

Deliveroo has expanded its food delivery services to campsites and caravan parks in ten key areas of the UK- including one area in Scotland.

This is wonderful news for anyone who has ever craved a fireside pizza in a tent or for those exhausted by days of hiking and dream of a six-pack being delivered to them.

The new service will allow relaxation mode to kick in as soon as holidaymakers arrive at their locations and will include essentials from supermarkets including Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Waitrose, Aldi and Morrisons.

Deliveroo has also said that alongside groceries, happy campers seeking a taste of the great outdoors can now also enjoy the taste of delicious worldwide cuisines from local restaurants, delivered directly to their tent, campervan or motorhome.

They say this is in response to the number of people optioning for staycation holidays because of travel restrictions brought on by the pandemic.

For Scots the place to be is Glasgow in Millcroft Wood of Cumbernauld, overlooking the Summerhill fields, Eden Leisure Village.

It is situated just 20 minutes from Glasgow City Centre and Campers can wake up and order coffee straight to their tents from Costa Coffee or tuck into burgers from Burger King, Fish and Chips from Chippy Doon the Lane and more.

For those travelling down south there are campsites in these places that offer the unique service:

  • Eastbourne- Bramley Park Camping
  • Weymouth- Higher Moor Farm Campsite
  • Blackpool- Marton Mere Holiday Park
  • Margate- Birchington Vale Holiday Park
  • Exmouth- Exmouth Country Lodge & Prattshays Campsite

  • Torquay- Treacle Valley Campsite
  • Portsmouth- Southsea Leisure Park
  • Manchester- Hawthorne Caravan and Camping Campsite
  • London- Abbey Wood Caravan Club Campsite
  • London- Crystal Palace Caravan Club Campsite

Carlo Mocci, General Manager UKI at Deliveroo said: “The past year has been a tough year for everyone and we know that many people are opting for staycations this year due to travel restrictions.

"We want to bring our customers some joy by making their holiday stay-cation experience the best that it can be by giving them access to essential groceries on-demand and the chance to enjoy incredible food from their favourite restaurants, without having to stray far from their picturesque camping spot!”

To try out the service, campers should open the Deliveroo app and drop a delivery pin as close as possible to their temporary home location.

Should campers wish to meet their rider at a specific meeting point, such as an entrance or exit to a campsite, they can add these details in the ‘Instructions for your rider’ section when adding the address to their account.
