Which online food delivery services have slots right now?
With the government strictly advising that everyone must now stay at home to help combat the spread of coronavirus, ordering food online has now become more relevant than ever.
With more people confined to working from home or in self-isolation, it’s understandable that there is a huge demand for online food delivery orders – in fact, Boris Johnson even suggested it in his address to the nation.

Asda
Asda will still let you register as new online customer, but online delivery slots are not available up until April 14.
- Next delivery slot – From April 14
Sainsbury’s
Unless you’re already registered as a Sainsbury’s online customer, Sainsbury’s has paused all new online registrations.
If you have an existing account, delivery slots are unavailable, though elderly customers and those deemed as vulnerable will be offered priority delivery slots.

Those who have a delivery booked for March 25 or later can still edit their orders.
