HUNGRY residents will get to feast on food from the comfort of their own home as a new delivery company has launched.

Deliveroo will be available to residents in Wokingham today, which means locals will be able to order food from some of their favourite restaurants and takeaway outlets.

The app allows users to order food from their phone from eateries such as Its Pizza Time, Baranda Restaurant, Chicken Base, Giggling Squid, Burger King, Pizza Express and more.

More than 50 jobs will also be created for locals in Wokingham to apply to, with the majority of jobs being Deliveroo drivers who can deliver food within 30 minutes.

To celebrate the launch, Deliveroo is giving away hundreds of free doughnuts around the town centre on Saturday, August 31.

Residents will also get to enjoy 25 per cent off food orders for the next four weeks.

Harrison Foster, regional director in the UK, "Launching in Wokingham is a key milestone for Deliveroo. Wokingham has a thriving foodie community and a wide range of restaurants, so we are excited to connect them.

"We look forward to working with our new restaurant partners to reach a new customer base and expand their businesses. Deliveroo will also create work for 50 local riders and are thrilled to offer a flexible role to the community.”

The app delivers food between 5pm and 11pm on weekdays and 11.30am and 11pm on weekends from a variety of independent eateries, takeaways and high quality chain restaurants.
