Local deals for delivery - food / drink / etc.

[Speedy]

Hopefully this isn't against the rules... I thought it would be good to raise awareness of local deals, both so we can take advantage of them and also help support local businesses.

Couple to start:

Thistly Cross (Cider/Beer) doing 20% off and free delivery

Edinburgh Bacon Company doing various meat parcels (collection in Leith/Penicuik)

Haven't tried it personally. Mate recommended it to me but leith/penicuik is a bit out the way for me at the minute.

The strawberry is very good. Not as sickly as other brands.

All about opinions eh? I don't think I've had more sickly cider than Thistly Cross. It's like drinking sugar.

Old Rosie, although it's hardly one for a session! I also recall really enjoying a French Cider years ago, possibly from Britanny/Normandy, nae idea of its name though.

When I was younger I used to drink all ciders as if they were going out of fashion (I think it actually did) but nowadays the only cider I'll drink is an Italian one, Angioletti. It's made in a similar way to Prosecco(which I don't like) but on a summers afternoon in an ice cold glass it's actually more than enjoyable.

Something like that once had a session on it in the Corrie Inn when they had it on draught as a guest cider, it wasn’t a long session that’s for sure.

Where do you get that from? It sounds great.

I went about 35 years thinking I hated cider then developed a taste for it.

To be honest some folk can be a bit snobby about cider but, I'm not ashamed to say Strongbow has been my go to for years.

I like dark fruits, but the normal stuff isn't nice. I used to drink it, but I recently went back when panic buyers took all the good stuff and I panic bought the normal strongbow. Had to cut it with robinsons juice.

Thislty cross is nice. I like the whisky cask one too - might buy a few of those from that link.

I like a pint of Strongbow but can't stand it in a can. Same with Tennents on the lager front, really enjoy a pint but it's rank out a can.

On draft I think it is 5%

The bottle stuff is 7% and 5% . The former is a killer not to be messed with.

The draught Old Rosie they had in the Corrie Inn a few years back was 7.3%

Definitely more than 5%. They have it on draught in the Barony on Broughton Street and it's 6.5% or thereabouts.

I'm sure that's what it is when they sell it from boxes in Spoons.

Sainsbury’s delivered ours in bags he rung the bell and backed off.

Got a dominos delivered last night the same ring the bell and waited at his car until I came out.

[pollution]

Has anyone bought a carry out recently from a pub?

I may have mis read it but I believe pubs are allowed to open for a carry out, be it drink or food.

I seen my delivery park outside so went to the door as I normally would. He got up to the door and put the food on the ground between us.

It was the right thing to do, but all looked a bit strange.

Our sainsburys guy did that. I thought i'd offended him
Delivery contents seem to be almost back to normal (still struggling for Dolmio smooth sauce though).

I've ordered online from campbells meets and buffallo farm which should arrive over the next few weeks. never used them before, so a bit unknown.
I did look up the local butcher in dunfermline for online ordering but i dont think they do it.
Dont fancy driving into town just to find out they're shut.
