Deliverance

Deliverance
Still quite pricey, but this time it was well worth it - the food came twenty minutes earlier than expected, its taste was exactly the taste I wanted to be tasting at exactly that unexpectedly-twenty-minute-premature moment, and even the delivery guy was friendly and polysyllabic. Fisherman's pie, yeah.

Stung?

Stung?
I paid £6 for these, from Deliverance. They took 90 minutes to arrive, along with the Thai green chicken curry, and when they arrived I was so hungry that I felt completely ripped off by these few little bits of chicken in a box. I felt different by the time I’d finished the meal, certainly, but 14 quid for satay and green curry, with no rice, seems like a lot, particularly when you realise that the same choice, admittedly in a slightly smaller portion, costs you 9 quid in Yelo in Hoxton Square - especially as the latter have something of a location overhead.

So, being a geek, I filled in the feedback form on their website saying "good food, but expensive and slow". To my surprise, I got a personal email back today (I had the food on Friday eve) explaining about how the pricing had gone up because of supplier costs and the like. Nice personal touch, but still, 14 quid for not that much food seems like a lot to me.
