Each restaurant on WhoEat.co.uk determines their own delivery area (postcodes). This means that the each restaurants delivery area varies. The restaurant has to communicate the correct postcodes to WhoEat.co.uk. No restaurants found in your area? Recommend your favourite takeaway restaurant to WhoEat.co.uk and we will contact them as soon as possible.

The delivery costs vary from one restaurant to another. Delivery costs are always fixed by the restaurants themselves. WhoEat.co.uk has no influence on these costs.

On average, it takes 45-60 minutes from the moment when the order is placed until the moment it’s delivered. The delivery time can vary from one restaurant to another and depends on the number of orders the restaurants has to prepare. Keep in mind that on Sundays, it may take a little longer as restaurants are very busy. It is also possible to select the time you wish to receive your order. You can select this on the checkout page. The selected time will be noted in the confirmation email. WhoEat.co.uk is not responsible for the restaurant’s delivery times. If ever a restaurant can’t deliver at the requested time, they must contact the customer a.s.a.p. to inform them of the delay.

If your order was not delivered on time, please call the restaurant on the phone number provided in the order confirmation e-mail or contact our customer service.

Having your order rejected sucks, and we’re sorry this happened. We know this can be confusing, but don’t worry, your money is usually returned to you in 7 working days. Let us explain what has happened…

1. When you make an order, your payment is reserved so that the restaurant can start cooking your food with confidence
2. If a restaurant is unable to cook or delivery your food on time for whatever reason, they may reject it (we don’t like this and actively work to stop restaurants from doing it)
3. As soon as this happens, we let you know and start the process of returning the money to your available balance automatically. This usually takes 7 working days.

We know this is a pain, but it’s the best way we can make sure that restaurants can cook with confidence. We actively contacts restaurants that reject orders to find out why, so it should happen less and less in future.

If the money isn’t back in your account after five days, or if you aren’t sure what’s going on, get in touch with us and we’ll take a look right away. Keep in mind that we can’t speed the process up.

If you have an allergy that could harm your health please contact the restaurant directly before you place your order. We can help you do that:

We strongly advise that you also contact the restaurant directly to confirm your requests.

Read the FAQs below for more information about WhoEat’s allergy policies.

Why isn’t WhoEat able to guarantee my meal is suitable for my allergies?

We wish we could, but the takeaways themselves are responsible for cooking your order.
That means that if you want to make sure their food won’t affect your allergies, they’re the best people to get in touch with.

Why should I have to contact the takeaway if I have an allergy? Why can’t WhoEat check?

Because we’re not prepared to put your health at risk. The only person who can tell you exactly what’s going into your food is the chef holding the pan.

Even if we confirmed a takeaway menu was safe for people with allergies, they could always change their ingredients at a later date. Then we’d be risking giving you out-of-date information. We can’t take that risk with your health.

How does WhoEat make sure the allergy information on WhoEat is correct?

When a takeaway signs up to WhoEat, they have to provide us with up-to-date menu information. We then include this on their WhoEat page. If something isn’t clear, we double-check the information with the takeaway before it’s published on WhoEat.

How do I get in touch with a takeaway?

Contact us using Live Chat or any of the other methods found here: [Link to contact us page]. Please state clearly to your WhoEat customer service adviser that your query is related to allergen information.

Aren’t food businesses required by law to provide information about certain allergens?

Definitely, but this law applies to the takeaways themselves – the takeaways are independent businesses from WhoEat.

Takeaways usually give customers access to this information by making it clear you can obtain allergy information by contacting a member of staff.

But remember – we’re always happy to do whatever you need to put you in touch with a takeaway to discuss allergy information.

Does WhoEat do anything to help takeaways comply with the law?

We are working closely with the Food Standards Agency and other industry authorities, to help raise awareness among takeaways about their obligations and how they can provide the best service to customers with allergies.

Your options are pretty straight forward, cash on delivery/collection, or card payment.

We accept are Debit card, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa & Paypal.

Once you’ve finished selecting your food just select ‘Place Order’. Then you’re on the payment screen, and you have three options. You can select pay by Card, PayPal or Cash. Once the payment is confirmed, your order arrives in our system and is directly communicated to the restaurant.
