Customers can order from McDonald’s, the first restaurant to launch in the area via the Uber Eats app. Local favourites will join the platform, with residents able to enjoy their favourite restaurant meals from the comfort and safety of their home.

Toussaint Wattinne, general manager of Uber Eats in the UK, said: “We are really excited to be launching in Dalkeith, 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.”

Uber Eats has introduced measures to help ensure that every courier can access the PPE they need for free to help keep them safe when they deliver with Uber Eats. As well as providing free sanitising products, Uber Eats is providing couriers with over one million masks.

The app is available every day 8am - midnight. Locals can download the Uber Eats app on their smartphone or by visiting ubereats.com.
