Morrisons has started offering a hot food-to-go takeaway service from all of its 402 in-stores cafés that have been closed since the start of the coronavirus outbreak.
The retailer will offer breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner options from the cafés, with all items packaged in new cardboard takeaway boxes.
Morrisons highlighted that the launch effectively makes it the nation’s largest fish and chip takeaway, as its cafés usually sell two million portions a year.
Marianne Jones, Head of Café Operations at Morrisons, said: “Our customers love our cafes. Some dine with us a number of times a week and many have told us they’ve been waiting for their return. So we’ve been working behind the scenes to bring back some of our most popular dishes at great prices as we continue to feed the nation.”
Due to current social distancing measures in the cafés, customers have to order their takeaway by calling a national takeaway hotline. All meals will be ready for collection half an hour after the order is placed. Deliveroo is also available in some locations.
