What a lovely day for a Yelp event and yes I'm counting ... It's my 19th!!! Dan greeted me and I sat on the picnic blankets and met Jason from deliveroo ! Jason looked up the ranking for refer a friend and I'm 19th in the world!! So if you want free credit which is currently £10, use promo code lingy8119 ... Then spend it!!! I ordered from yakinori again!! You get a filling lovely box of noodles! I had gyoza too. Yummy. Though I opted for spicy I think I shouldn't have lol the food arrived on time! As I had so much credit, I bought drinks from boost juice, as its below a certain level they charge more, so I bought a drink for Dan and Simon! I choose what I thought was fruit salad but it's actually a drink!! lol this place has a time slot that you need choose from so it took longer. It was fun to see and meet Yelpers! Thanks to Yelp and deliveroo for my free lunch!! Love it!!! read more

What a beautiful day all around! I had so much fun picnicking with Yelpers that I ended up skipping out on research the whole rest of the day XD Deliveroo really have something nice going on! Every time I use Deliveroo, I can't help but think how much better my life in university dorms would have been with them around. For the Express Lunch, I ordered from Yo! Sushi. I was majorly impressed. The rice and chicken katsu were still hot upon arrival and the little decorative onions and veggies on top of the rice were still perfectly in place. I like that the drivers don't slosh your food around in transit. I messed up on getting the address changed before placing my order and the Deliveroo rep very nicely called the driver to make sure he'd come to the right place. Great customer service. It'd be super nice if Deliveroo could make a tweak to the app to prevent addresses from getting locked in - I move around a lot ha! Pigeon Park is such a fab space to have lunch. I especially liked the blankets Deliveroo provided for us. Such a nice touch! read more

Deliveroo Express Lunch II - Picnic lunch - Yelp Events Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

What a beautiful day for a picnic! I couldn't find the gang when I first arrived but after spotting a deliveroo cyclist I followed him to his delivery spot- the Yelp blankets. I struggled with the app at first as so few restaurants had availability- at first there were only two with the express lunch showing up and as I tried to order from one it then said it was too busy to fulfil it. But after a few minutes it was all up and running again and I (rather predictably I'm afraid) orders pumpkin croquettes in katsu curry from Yakinori. Their express lunch set up is good- mix n match style and great choices. For a main, extra takoyaki and a drink plus delivery I spent exactly £10, so used my credit nicely! The delivery took a bit of time but I did get a text saying it would be a bit late. I was in no hurry though. It was ace to see so many people pop by on their lunch breaks, and those of us without jobs to go to stayed in the sunshine for a few hours. Awesome! read more

Another lovely express lunch club event from Deliveroo and Yelp! This time we met in the Cathedral Square where Dan had put down picnic blankets for us to relax in the sun as we ordered our lunches via the deliveroo app. This time I opted for chicken tinga tacos from Mission Burrito. They arrived quickly and the driver called me to work out where I was which was very helpful as the square was very busy. I took my tacos back to the office to eat and they were delicious - still warm, nicely spicy and the chicken was really tender. Thanks Dan, Yelp, Deliveroo and Mission Burrito for a lovely lunch! read more

On a super busy, super sunny Friday I was heading to St Philips square for a picnic lunch courtesy of Deliveroo & Yelp. Due to a high number of appointments at the moment, I had to pop to Jewellery Quarter on the way! Anyway 2 hours later, I was running back to meet the others, needed to grab lunch, see my Yelp friends and get back to the office! Luckily with deliveroo I could order a healthy, good value, fresh lunch on the way to arrive by the time I got back to the office! I loved seeing the guys all sat on picnic blankets enjoying the sun and ordering different types of food to suit everyone - diet wise and cost wise! My food arrived quicker than the 21 mind suggested! It was lovely and cold as expected for sushi & a large portion. The Deliveroo driver was very polite too! Awesome event that im glad I was a part of whilst fitting it around my busy work / life. Thanks Dan for your epic work! read more

Brilliant event, was great to spend time sitting on blankets in the sun in the bustling Cathedral area. I ordered from Yo! Sushi, had vegetable gyoza and chicken teriyaki with rice. Both were really tasty and it came to just over £11 which isn't too bad. Im knocking off one star as my boy (Charlie S) was unable to order, for some reason it was showing him that every restaurant in the area was closed. He talked to the guy from deliveroo but it couldn't be rectified sadly. Thank you to Dan, Yelp and deliveroo for organising this event! read more

Deliveroo Express Lunch II - The order is made... - Yelp Events Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

During the first Express Lunch event the delivery point was moved to Tilt due to unsettled weather. Fortunately on this Friday afternoon the grounds of Birmingham Cathedral were dry and the sky was clear and sunny, weather perfect for a picnic in the park. This event marks the second collaboration between Yelp Brum and Deliveroo. With recent expansion to Solihull, the service is quickly becoming the Uber of the food delivery industry in Greater Birmingham. The Yelp crew was given a £10 credit to order from the express lunch menu (or anywhere really) that guarantees a cheap and fast lunch. This time I opted to try something new and went with the Grand Central branch of YO! Sushi. The sushi restaurant offers a very wide variety of hot pots and sushi for delivery. I opted for Tofu Katsu Curry and Kappa Maki. YO! Sushi is a vegetarian's dream, with a significant variety of items without meat or fish. My meal was very affordable as well, with the hot pot and sushi combo coming to £6.50 before a £2.50 delivery fee. Even with dozens of Yelpers ordering at the same time, my food was cooked and delivered in less than thirty minutes. Our group was pitched on some very comfortable blankets provided by Deliveroo. Even after eating our delicious meals, the weather was so nice most of us decided to stick around for some more time in the sun. Overall I was quite pleased with the service quality again, especially with the drivers being able to find us amongst a swarm of Pokemon Go and lunch break workers in the park. I look forward to using Deliveroo again and especially stopping by YO! Sushi for another lunch. read more

I actually do love deliveroo! They make it so bloody easy to get all the food you want rather than having to stick to the same pizza from dominos. It's one of the easiest apps I have ever seen, they perfected the customer experience and I do love the name and logo! I have often ordered from my favourite restaurants if I didn't have anyone to go with or simply just wanted to chill out in front of the TV. The drivers are always super friendly and represent the brand well. I'm a big fan! read more

Picked a pretty good first Yelp event to attend! Free food delivered by Deliveroo to the Yelp picnic blankets! My app wouldn't pick up an internet signal but Jason from Deliveroo let me tether to his phone (not sure if that is how you say it...) and hey bingo - ordered my lush (I'm from Bristol innit) chicken teriyaki from Yakinori. The driver called me to find out where I was once he arrived at Cathedral Square. The food was lovely and hot - and such huge portion that I only ate half! I am now eating the rest of it now at 5.40pm ;-) Thank you Yelp, Deliveroo and Yakinori! read more

Fantastic experience using the Deliveroo app for the first time! Simple, easy and you can track your order. If you are in an awkward place you can just write a few instructions for the driver. Shout out to Jason from Deliveroo as well who was around to help with anything. Given the time constraints I decided to go with a grilled halloumi wrap from Leon - good choice it was delicious and came within 20 mins (how awesome is that)! The drivers were all really friendly which made the whole experience even more fun. I can't wait to use the app again; picnics will never be the same! Note to self - use it for a dessert fix next time!! read more

I came along to the deliveroo express lunch along with some colleagues this time. Dan welcomed us and introduced himself to the colleagues he had yet to meet. The meeting point this time was at pigeon park, the weather was beautiful and Dan had laid out some picnic blankets for people to sit and order their food. 4g Signal was poor so we initially had some issues getting onto the deliveroo app and placing the order (through no fault of deliveroo) but once we were all on we places our orders. I ordered my express lunch from the Greek place near new street station "4023" I love the food and the guys there are so friendly. My food arrived promptly and was delicious as always. Thanks Dan and the guys from deliveroo for another great event read more

First off, such a beautiful day! The sun was shining and got myself a pretty neat tan.. Met dan and the other yelpers in the Birmingham cathederal area (Pigeon park) complete with yelp themed picnic blankets. I ordered from boost juice bar, even though i could of walked to grand central and picked it up quicker than deliveroo, it was nice to wait in the park, sunbather, chat and to be greeted by a deliveroo cyclist with my order was nice. Always a pleasure to meet dan and the other yelpers, was lovely to catch up and a big thanks to Deliver for my lunch today. read more

Another Deliveroo lunch event, this time it's held outside pigeon park on a nice sunny, hot day. When I arrived, everyone was sat on the floor picnic mat. I had a problem with trying to change the delivery address, but I had Jason to quickly help me sort out the problem and within 10 minutes later, I had my Burger King delivered within quick sufficient timing. Overall experience it was great and I had a lovely time. read more

Unfortunately I think I may be the only one who had a bad experience at the event. Not to say the event itself was bad, it was fun as always with the guys who come along to these events. Dan is a gent as ever also. Kind, friendly and willing to help and make sure everyone is settled. The bad experience was from Deliveroo themselves. I couldn't order at all having tried a number of times from a number of food outlets. Either the menu was wrong, or the service was stopped as it was busy or when I could order, the app wanted me to order more food in order to use the voucher given to me for the event. All I wanted was noodles, not to order food and let it go to waste. The guy from Deliveroo did give me his burrito which was nice, but as a first time user. It made me feel somewhat disheartened to use it again. Still a three star. One star for the event. One for the guys who attended. One for the deliveroo guy who kindly gave me his burrito. read more

I had a really great time at my first Yelp event. It was a really nice sunny day and the location was great. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The Picnic blankets was a nice touch as well. I had already downloaded the app before I had arrived and the ten pound credit was already added to my account. It was really easy to order my food using the app. I ordered food from Yo Sushi and it took around 20 minutes for my food to arrive. I tried the Tofu Katsu Curry and the Kabocha Katsu. Both dishes were tasty. The Kabocha Katsu was a little cold when it arrived but it tasted good, so I wasn't bothered about that. There was a small issue with my delivery driver who went to the opposite side of Cathedral Square. Jason from deliveroo was very helpful and phoned the driver and directed him to right place. Thank you deliveroo for my free lunch and thank you to Dan & Yelp. read more
