One of Wirral's most popular restaurants is delivering during lockdown

One of Wirral’s most popular restaurants is operating a delivery service during the coronavirus lockdown.

The Refreshment Rooms in Rock Ferry introduced its new delivery service in March after the government ordered bars, restaurants and clubs across the UK to close to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

With two separate menus, one with hot food and another for chilled to be heated up at a later time, the service has already proven popular with fans of The Refreshment Rooms.

The menu features dishes such as Coca Cola Ribs, Steak and Ale Pie, Scouse, Lasagna and even Chocolate Fudge Cake.

Roast dinners are available on Sundays.

The chilled menu is smaller and includes many of the same dishes which can be stores in the refrigerator and heated up later.

In a notice on The Refreshment Rooms website, it says: “With the strange times we find ourselves in we are introducing a delivery service with a limited choice from our menu with items we feel will travel well - wherever possible we will use recyclable or biodegradable packaging so it needn’t cost the earth.

“We will offer hot food delivery together with some options delivered chilled for consumption within 48 hours (these items will need refrigeration).

“This will be a pre-paid, no contact delivery service only to help minimise any health issues for you and our staff. Orders will be left on the step and the driver will ring you to confirm delivery.”

The delivery service is available to anyone within a four mile radius in Wirral, though the radius for the chilled menu is wider, and runs between 12pm and 4pm, Monday - Saturday.

Delivery on Sundays operate on a callback system only.

To order, phone lines are open from 11.30am daily for same day delivery, or a day in advance for the chilled menu.

If ordering on Sundays, private message The Refreshment Rooms on Facebook with a name and phone number, and a member of the team will contact you to take your order and arrange delivery.

The Refreshment Rooms is also offering NHS and emergency service workers 10% off on food deliveries.
