FIRST it was meals on wheels - but now you can get food delivered by jet ski.

Food delivery giant Deliveroo has launched a water-borne trial service in Bournemouth. Beach goers will now be able to enjoy freshly prepared pasta, pizzas and burgers from popular local eateries without even leaving the seafront.

The on-demand delivery service launched in Bournemouth in 2015 and Poole in 2016. Deliveroo was first launched in London in 2013 by former Wall Street banker Will Shu who was disappointed with the quality of food available for delivery to his desk. Customers pay restaurant prices plus a £2.50 fee to get the meals delivered by Deliveroo’s cyclists and moped riders who aim to deliver within a particular timeframe.

Restaurants in Bournemouth already signed up include 7Bone, Wagamama, Burger King, YO! Sushi and Handmade Burger Co.
