Need more information on a restaurant's menu or pricing?
All restaurants set their own menus and prices on the Mr D Food app.
Whilst we encourage our restaurant partners to keep their menu and prices on the app the same as their in-house menu, some restaurants choose to increase their prices for delivery.
When menu items are excluded, this is usually because they're not suited for delivery or are exclusively reserved for in-house dining.
If you have further questions regarding a menu item or specific restaurants pricing, we suggest you contact the restaurant directly to clarify.
Alternatively, you can click the thumbs down button below and log a query. We will liaise with the restaurant on your behalf. Please note the turnaround on queries for restaurants via our customer services team may have longer turnaround times than normal queries.
What do I do if all your drivers are busy?
We only take on as many orders as we can handle to ensure your food always arrives in the quickest possible time. From time to time, this means we may not be able to take orders for delivery if our drivers are all currently busy. In this case, we suggest you check back in a few minutes.

Why do I only see collect as an option?
If you only see collect as an option for a restaurant you'd like to order from, it could mean one of the following:
- There isn't a driver available within the area of that restaurant and your address at the time of your order.
- This restaurant and your address are too far apart for us to ensure your food arrives in the quickest possible time so we aren't able to offer delivery.
- This restaurant and your address aren't within the same service area. In rare cases, this can mean that a restaurant nearby may not be available for delivery.
- Delivery services haven't started yet for the day, therefore only collect is available.

Based on the location a customer is, we require customers to spend a certain minimum value to get delivery. There is no minimum order value for collect orders.

How long will delivery take?
On average it takes 35 minutes from when you place your order for your food to arrive fast and hot at your door. This depends on the time it takes a restaurant to prepare an order and the distance a driver needs to cover from the restaurant to your doorstep.
When you select the restaurant you want to order from, we give you an estimated delivery time to ensure you know how long delivery will take from the specific restaurant you've chosen. We'll also keep you updated throughout the journey, from placing the order right through to delivery.
How is the food delivered to me?
Once your order is placed & accepted by the restaurant, the restaurant will prepare and package your food. Our driver will then collect your order from the restaurant, store it in a thermal hot bag and deliver it straight to your doorstep, either in a car or on a motorbike.

Can I collect my order instead of having it delivered?
Yes, all you need to do is select the "Self Collection" option when placing your order.
Top Tip: Try it to skip the queue at your local favourite.
Why do some restaurants only have collect as an option?
If you only see collect as an option for a restaurant you'd like to order from this either means:
- There isn't a driver available within the area of that restaurant and your address at the time of your order.
- This restaurant and your address are too far apart for us to ensure your food arrives in the quickest possible time, so we aren't able to offer delivery.
- This restaurant and your address aren't within the same service area. In rare cases, this can mean that a restaurant nearby may not be available for delivery.
How do I collect an order?
Choose the collection option if you'd like to pick up your order yourself. You'll still receive a confirmation that the restaurant has received the order with an indication of your pick-up time. When you get to the restaurant you'll just need to provide your order number to a member of staff to collect your order.
