The service is contact-free, place your order online, drop out to Pialligo and they'll place it straight in your boot.

Ordered a fresh produce box from Highroad Cafe in Dickson and the lovely Lauren left it at my front door about three hours later. They're supporting their local suppliers, farmers who are struggling because their usual buyers have had to close their doors. As well as fresh produce there's sourdough, milk, eggs and a great range of housemade pickles, jams and granola. And if you're missing your coffee there's plenty of Ona Coffee as well. And the wine list is long. Live local, buy local.

Wiffens at the Fyshwick Markets is doing a roaring trade in fresh produce and more. Order online by 10am for next day delivery or click and collect is also available.
