It's official, Deliveroo will be launching in Weymouth for the first time, but residents in Portland and Dorchester won't be able to make use of the online food delivery service.

The company has revealed that it will begin operating in the town, but has not confirmed the exact launch date.

The distance of the delivery radius could also not be confirmed but a Deliveroo spokesman did state that the company would not be covering Portland or Dorchester when it launches.

A full list of local restaurants and takeaways that will be partnering with the service will be revealed soon.

Harrison Foster, Deliveroo’s UK Regional Director, said: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Weymouth and we’re excited to be launching; we’re really excited to be creating new work opportunities for local people."
