A HOTEL is becoming a grocery pick-up point to help distribute food boxes to the community.
Rockliffe Hall, in Darlington, which has closed as a result of coronavirus, is working with food supplier Wellocks to distribute the company's new food boxes to people living nearby
The initiative means shoppers don’t have to contend with empty shelves and supermarket queues. Instead you can order a grocery box from the Wellocks website and collect it from the hotel, in Hurworth.
Customers need to order by midday for next day collection, which is operating from the hotel’s main reception between 1pm and 6pm, Tuesdays to Saturdays.
Payment is made online and customers find and pick up their labelled box, ensuring social distancing rules are adhered to.
Grocery boxes include a Sunday lunch package, essential breakfast and cupboard and pantry with prices starting from £10.
