Bristol’s pioneering ‘posh nosh’ takeaway service expands into Bath

The revolutionary online service meals.co.uk, which delivers food from upmarket restaurants direct to customer’s homes, is launching in Bath following a year of success in its home city of Bristol.

meals.co.uk uses cutting-edge technology, a sophisticated user-friendly website and delivery logistics to allow customers to place orders from their favourite restaurant and have it delivered direct to their door.  

Working exclusively with selected quality restaurants who do not already have a delivery service, meals.co.uk offers discerning customers an alternative to the traditional takeaway options.

More than 20 restaurants in Bristol have already signed up – and now the firm is looking to offer the same pioneering service to Bath foodies.

meals.co.uk founder and former UWE post-doc research fellow Dotun Olowoporoku said: “We are already working with restaurants using an app which means they can accept an order on their mobile tablet from a customer who has ordered via the meals.co.uk site and automatically respond.

“Our aim is to add to this functionality by eventually allowing customers to do a whole raft of things such as vote for which dishes they want their favourite restaurants to cook that day.

“This is where engagement between restaurant and customer really comes in to its own and the benefits of being part of the meals.co.uk service becomes worth its weight in gold in terms of customer relationship building.”

Popular Bristol high-end Thai restaurant Siam Harbourside has partnered with meals.co.uk and co-owner Andrew Leedham said: “Like all restaurants in the current economy, keeping customers happy and loyal is more important than ever.

“We are delighted with our partnership with meals.co.uk to date as it means that our dine-in customers who would like to enjoy our cuisine at home once in a while can now have a delivery from us rather than having to come to the restaurant to collect.

“From a cost perspective, we’re not having to pay an hourly rate to a driver we may use only once or twice on a quieter night earlier in the week. This way, rather than not be able to offer our customers a home delivery on some nights of the week and risk losing their custom, and miss out on the value of the order, meals.co.uk takes care of all the hassle for us. Not to mention generating more orders for us than we’d get by ourselves.”
