PEOPLE in Whitehaven will now be able to have a McDonald's meal delivered to their doorstep.

Uber Eats has expanded into the area meaning locals can enjoy food from some of their favourite eateries from the comfort of their own home.

It's hoped Uber Eats, which has already launched in Carlisle, will bring a boost to business for local restaurants, with the option for delivery and thousands of potential new customers.

McDonald's is now available to order from the Uber Eats app, which customers can download onto their mobile phones, or by visiting ubereats.com.

Toussaint Wattinne, General Manager of Uber Eats in the UK, said: “We are really excited to be launching in Whitehaven, firstly with McDonald’s, and a host of local restaurants joining in the coming weeks.

"As the nation’s lockdown slowly beings to lift, we hope to make it even easier for local residents to enjoy a variety of delicious food both comfortably and safely.”
