A delivery service for high-quality restaurant meals has been launched today in Tunbridge Wells.

More than 50 jobs are expected to be created within the first year at Deliveroo.

It aims to deliver fresh-cooked food from restaurants within 32 minutes.

More than 15 restaurants have signed up so far, including Jamie's Italian, No 9 Smokehouse Bar and Grill, Il Vesuvio and Souper Juice.

Jeremy Rawlinson, general manager at Deliveroo, said: "We're extremely excited to be launching in Royal Tunbridge Wells and we're looking forward to bringing some of the town's delicious dishes straight from the hands of local chefs to customers' doors.

"Royal Tunbridge Wells is a multicultural and prosperous area with a diverse range of restaurants and we have seen a real appetite for the service.

"We already have a number of great partners across the town and we are excited to expand and widen the variety of restaurants on offer to our customers in Royal Tunbridge Wells over the course of the next year."

Deliveroo launched in London three years ago, and operates through an app.
