Deliveroo app and website down across UK
Problems with Deliveroo were recorded across the UK, including in London, Birmingham and Manchester.
With orders made, some customers took to X, formerly Twitter, to ask Deliveroo if it would be delivering their food or if they could expect a refund.
One user complained: “@Deliveroo I ordered food before the app went down. Restaurant said the food has been made but no delivery. Am I going to receive a refund for this?”
Another said: “Is it me or Deliveroo app is down? Keeps just loading and error message in history. @DeliverooHelp @Deliveroo”.
We’re currently experiencing an issue with our app and website, we’re working hard to get back up and running ASAP. Thank you for your patience.
