Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats are the three practical meal-delivery apps for a visitor.

Best Food Delivery apps in United Kingdom (2026)

Just Eat app icon

Just EatEssential

Restaurant delivery and collection across the UK, with options determined by the entered postcode.

Pro tip: Check delivery and collection separately. Cash appears only for participating restaurants, while card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal are standard checkout options.

Deliveroo app icon

DeliverooEssential

Meal, grocery and retail delivery with strong selection in London and many other UK cities and towns.

Pro tip: Compare the final basket total with the restaurant's direct price. Coverage and fees can change within the same city by postcode and time of day.

Uber Eats app icon

Uber Eats

A major UK delivery option with restaurants and groceries in all four nations, subject to the exact address.

Pro tip: Use the precise postcode and add hotel reception details. The platform's long city list does not mean every rural address lies inside a delivery zone.

There is no reliable nationwide winner because restaurant participation, delivery range, fees and courier supply change by exact postcode. Just Eat combines restaurant delivery and collection and supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, with cash available only at selected restaurants. Deliveroo is strong in larger cities and also lists groceries and retail items. Uber Eats has extensive address-level coverage across all four UK nations and can be convenient if you already use an Uber account.

Enter the accommodation's full postcode before comparing apps, then compare the basket total rather than the menu price alone because delivery, service and small-order charges vary. A foreign card may still be declined by its issuer or require an authentication step, so keep a second card or digital wallet ready. At a hotel, use the property's complete street address, add the hotel name and reception instructions, and be prepared to meet the courier in the lobby. Rural delivery can be sparse even when a platform lists the surrounding town.

For a food allergy, do not rely only on a free-text note. UK businesses must provide information for the regulated allergens, but you should contact the restaurant directly to discuss ingredients and cross-contamination before ordering.

How it works here Uber Eats operates across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but the restaurant list and delivery boundary depend on the exact address.
