The Cook family at Walter Rose and Son have launched a new website to enable customers to order essentials online with contactless payment and delivery to their door.

The new website has been developed to manage the surge of orders during the Covid-19 pandemic to cope with unprecedented demand now the country is in lockdown.

Director, Steve Cook said: “Our valued customers must know that our supply chains are fully-stocked, and we can feed people across Wiltshire and beyond with top quality meat, veg and essential items and quickly deliver them to their door with our fleet of refrigerated vans.

"We have plentiful stock in the fields all around us, so no problems with sourcing it, unlike supermarkets, whose produce is largely-sourced from overseas countries like Poland & Romania.

"We will deliver free of charge across Wiltshire and surrounds."

The award-winning butchers shop in Devizes is taking their locally sourced, top quality meat, fish, vegetable boxes, eggs, milk and delicatessen items to homes near and far.

Steve said: “The supermarkets are making people wait, often weeks, for the next available delivery slot. This can add to already heightened levels of anxiety. Our customers can rest-assured that they will receive beautiful local produce, within a day of placing the order. We are proud to be able to help at this difficult time.”

Jack Cook said: “Self-isolation is an act of care for your community, as well as yourself.

“Our more vulnerable customers are anxious about visiting some shops and worried about the possibility of having to stay at home at some point in the future.

“Offering delivery to the door and picking up other essential items en route, while Covid-19 is around is our attempt to reassure and thank our customers for taking the responsible step of self-isolating.

“If we all think of our community and each other first, rather than just ourselves, we believe our whole society will cope much better.”

Brother, Charlie Cook said: “It is important that we all do our bit to help each other in tough times like these.

“This kind of togetherness is the kind of glue that holds everyone together."

"We’re still here at the end of the phone for a chat and are more than happy for customers to call the shop on 01380 722335 to make their orders. We can send out price lists if required."
