Uber Eats has now launched in Wisbech and, as well as the big chain giants, a number of local favourites will also be available for delivery.

The service launched on Thursday, October 29 and McDonald’s and KFC were amongst the first restaurants to sign up for home delivery.

“A host of local restaurants will be joining in the coming weeks.

“We hope to make it even easier for local residents to enjoy a variety of delicious food both comfortably and safely.”

Uber Eats has introduced measures to help ensure that every courier can access the PPE they need for free to help keep them safe when they deliver with Uber Eats.

For all deliveries as well as providing free sanitising products, Uber Eats is providing couriers with over one million masks.

Locals can download the Uber Eats app on their smartphone (available for iOS and Android), or by visiting ubereats.com.
