I don’t know about you, but I’m getting depressed every time I log into my supermarket account because I simply cannot get a delivery slot. I’m trying. Daily. With all of them. But somehow everyone else snaffles them first.
So we’re trying alternatives. I’m baking. I’ve ordered in coffee from a local roaster (listed below), we’ve got beer coming from a local brewery, a veg box from our usual Veg Box People, whatever I can get my mitts on.
I mean, we’re still a bit stuck for essentials, like sugar, squash, milk and eggs, but I’m working on it. And in doing so I’ve gathered together a list of as many delivery options as I can. It started as a Manchester only list, but places overlap, some offer national delivery, and so it’s ended up being a bit of a mixture. So I’ll list as many as I have, and keep adding to it as I go. If you know of somewhere, someone that you want to add, drop me a line, or a comment below, and I’ll update it.
Part of the reason for many places diversifying is our restaurants are closed. Those who aren’t switching to take away, shut down completely and our food industry is stuck with loads of food, and nowhere to send it.
So now suppliers are diversifying. Catering butchers are now offering delivery to households instead. Brewers are switching to delivery, same with bottle shops, and I expect more and more dairies, cheesemakers and farmers will do too.For the most part, it’s just an issue of distribution. We’ve still got to eat, they’ve still got to pay their bills. Chickens don’t stop laying just because there’s a pandemic (though admittedly you’d think they have given the shelves in the supermarkets).
The second reason is that a lot of the smaller producers, those who don’t make it into the supermarkets – our indie cheese, booze, cake and bake producers are suffering.
So if you can, go independent. Go small. Save someone’s livelihood.
So, finally, here you go. A big list of suppliers. I’ve divvied it up for the most part by type of product and then listed the areas they supply.
Please look through because some are offering other items alongside their ‘normal’ stock.
And I’m not doing takeaway venues in this list – yet. If there’s a call for it, I’ll do a separate post, and most likely will stick with Manchester centric. But we’ll see – I get the feeling this may keep me occupied for a while, as this isn’t comprehensive (yet). I know some are still in the process of changing to delivery, and I’m still gathering information.
I hope you find what you need. Oh and if anyone finds pasta or milk… Or that elusive supermarket delivery slot, let me know?
