Takeaway and delivery options on The Parade so you can still enjoy good food while self-isolating.
As social distancing measures ramp up, it’s important to look after yourself and protect others by following the latest recommendations. But even if you’re self-isolating or in quarantine you can still enjoy a morning coffee or delicious meal at home (with a bottle of wine if you’re ordering from a licenced restaurant). These local favourites are open for business, and many have contactless options available. If you’re picking anything up in person, order ahead to ensure you’re not waiting around.
Follow their Instagram and Facebook pages for regular updates, and you can find a non-exhaustive list of other local businesses that are still operating at ‘Still Here’.
