Thank you for everyone’s support over the last 24 hours. We avoided being flooded and after navigating the many blocked roads we managed to complete all our deliveries as normal. Huge thank you to our teams and volunteers today - you are all #foodheroes.
Thank you for everyone’s support and we really hope everyone affected across the area are able to return to normal soon too.

We will closely monitor this overnight but this may result in some disruption in the morning. Our apologies in advance.
