Co-op Delivery Robot in Northampton

Spotting a delivery robot at The Co-op in Northampton.


The Co-op delivery robots from Starship Technologies in Northampton, April 2023

The Co-op delivery robots were launched in Northampton in 2021. We've seen them a few times when driving through the town.

I believe there are also some operating in Sale, Trafford here in Greater Manchester.

The delivery robots are used by The Co-op in partnership with Starship Technologies.

Have you used one to get deliveries?

It'd be interesting to use them, I wonder if we'll ever seen them in Stockport...?

It's good to be gluten free, sometimes

While living with Coeliac Disease isn't the best thing in the world, the fact that having to be incredibly careful about every little thing you eat or drink does make you get excited about new products you see while out shopping. Lately the Co-op has been getting me interested and excited about food again as they've launched a lot of new gluten free items in their Free From range.

It's always exciting receiving a free from food parcel!

While having our own dedicated free from section in a supermarket is convenient it's also nice to see 'normal' food products being made gluten free as standard.

I've been tweeting with the team at the Co-op and they were kind enough to send me four of the new soups in the range to try out. From l-r they are Tomato & Lentil, Red Thai Chicken, Carrot & Coriander, and Chicken & Vegetable. I've tried the Chicken & Vegetable soup already - as well as the Minestrone - as I picked them up in a two for £3 deal recently. They taste really good and are large portions, very filling. The pots do say they serve 2, but I'm not one for sharing!

The Co-op has been adding to its range of gluten free products for a while now and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have in store for people who need gluten free food options.
