Deliveroo will be handing out 100 tonnes of free food across the UK as part of their 10-month bus tour - and it will be stopping in Exeter this week.

The delivery giant today announced the launch of The RooBus, which will be touring the UK throughout 2019 giving away over 100 tonnes worth of free food to Brits. The Bus will begin its 10-month tour leaving Deliveroo on March 19, with its first official stop at Edinburgh University on March 20.

It will be arriving in Exeter on Friday, March 22, at the University of Exeter and Princesshay in the city centre.

Members of the public will be able to climb aboard take part in food-themed escape room on the upper deck. Wannabe-Houdinis will need to solve food-related puzzles and riddles throughout the top floor in order to reach food freedom.

Some of the UK’s most favourite restaurants including KFC, Pizza Express, Barburitto and Yo Sushi! will be working with Deliveroo to give Brits some amazing free food at the Roobus 2019 tour stops.
