One of the greatest pleasures in life (before lockdown) is going out for dinner.

Enjoying amazing food, lovingly created by a talented chef in a lively atmosphere.

However the coronavirus outbreak - means we all have to stay at home putting our dining dreams on the back burner for at least another three weeks.

Several of our favourite Cambridge-based restaurants are offering private deliveries which can be ordered through their websites and social media channels.

But for many of us, the first place we turn to when cooking seems like a slog is Deliveroo.

The food delivery company is offering a no-contact service, so customers can continue to adhere to social distancing rules.
