That healthy diet is about to last longer: Deliveroo is down

By: Emma Haslett

Put that takeaway menu away and head to the back of the cupboard: Deliveroo is down.

The service tweeted just after 8.30pm that it was "experiencing a small problem at the moment". Almost an hour later, the app was still failing to load for many users.

Users also complained they were unable to get through to help lines.

Hungry (or hangry) customers took to Twitter to complain.

@Deliveroo this is not a small problem- my food is 50 minutes LATE

@Deliveroo I'll have a refund please. If the restaurant hadn't called me I'd never know my order wasn't coming…

@DeliverooHelp Tried again with Deliveroo after disaster last week. Now waiting for order due to arrive 20mins ago. What is going on?

When users finally received their food, many complained it was cold.
