do they market it / present it that way on their website?


Yes, they call it 'Deliveroo Editions'. They sometimes waive the delivery fee, has its own logo/category and you can mix the delivery from various restaurants


I’m waiting for “street deals” where you get prompted to buy a discounted offering of the same thing/provider/time as someone nearby.


I don't think I've ever actually ordered from them, I'm not in the market for 20 quid takeaways.

When I had a look a few years back basically everywhere looked the same with stock professional photos. You wouldn't know that your fancy-looking Indian came from a grimy backstreet shop or container or whatever else.


That’s why you should order from places you have actually been to. I wouldn’t say the service is any different then.

But again, you say you’re not in the market for 20 quid takeaways - then how much are you willing to pay for food?

That’s how much it costs to eat in London unless you’re going for cheapish fried chicken or a really bad pizza.


I cook for myself and get higher quality food at a fraction of the price.

I generally reserve eating out for when I'm on the go or want to have a night out with friends. It's very rare that I buy takeaway food to eat at home. One of the best parts about being at home is having a kitchen.

Decent quality prepared food is expensive in a ton of places, this isn't an exclusively London thing by any stretch of the imagination.


For a lot of people assigning a "reasonable" cost per hour spent cooking results in cooking for yourself being more expensive.


Yeah yeah, I've been through this a million times on here.

Cooking is one of the pleasures of life, it ain't all about the grind.


One of your pleasures, which is awesome for you. I wish I enjoyed cooking, but I don't, so if you've been through this a million times maybe it's time to stop assuming it's some universal joy?


I honestly couldn't care less whether it's a universal joy. Specialization is for insects. You do you. :)


Absolutely does not cost £20 to eat in London, unless you live somewhere upmarket but in that case you can probably afford it. I can get good pizza for ~£7.
