With so many options, choosing the right app depends on what you want to eat, how quickly you need it and how much you are willing to pay in fees. Here are ten of the best food delivery apps serving the borough.

How We Compared the Apps

We assessed restaurant and product range, delivery coverage around Egham, Chertsey, Addlestone and Virginia Water, speed, fees, subscription value, app usability and customer support. Availability can vary by postcode, so it is always worth checking your address.

Domino's has its own dedicated app with frequent deals, quick delivery and the ability to customise pizzas exactly as you like. It is a dependable choice for family nights and student gatherings.

10. Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go connects users with cafes, bakeries and supermarkets selling surplus food at reduced prices. While it typically requires collection, it is an excellent way to save money and reduce food waste in Runnymede.

Food Delivery Trends in 2026

Subscription memberships are becoming the norm, offering free delivery and exclusive discounts. Rapid grocery delivery is consolidating around major supermarket brands. Restaurants increasingly operate delivery-only kitchens to meet demand, while apps are adding AI-powered recommendations based on past orders. Sustainability efforts include electric bike couriers and options to skip cutlery and single-use extras.

Tips for Using Delivery Apps Wisely

Compare prices across apps, as menu prices and fees can differ for the same restaurant. Ordering directly from a restaurant's own service sometimes supports local businesses more fairly. Check hygiene ratings before ordering from unfamiliar places, and review allergen information carefully if you have dietary needs. Subscriptions are worthwhile only if you order frequently, so calculate whether the savings outweigh the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which app has the most restaurants in Runnymede?

Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats generally offer the widest selection, but coverage varies by postcode and time of day. Checking all three for your address in Egham, Chertsey or Addlestone gives the most complete picture.

Are delivery subscriptions worth it?

If you order more than a couple of times a month, subscriptions such as Deliveroo Plus or Uber One often pay for themselves through free delivery and member discounts. Occasional users are usually better off paying per order.

How can I support local restaurants?

Ordering directly from a restaurant's own website or phone line, or choosing collection, often means more of your money goes to the business. Leaving positive reviews also helps independent eateries attract new customers.

Is it safe to order food online?

Yes, when you use reputable apps and check food hygiene ratings. Always read allergen information carefully and contact the restaurant directly if you have serious allergies.
