Gourmet grocery app Caper introduces online shopping from top London retailers
In the last week Daddy T has asked me three times to buy a hair gel from a specialist shop for him, and I’m yet to be able to get around to it. It’s not that I’m always terribly forgetful, but making more stops than necessary with two kids in tow seldom makes much sense – at least if there’s no animal, theme park ride or toy to see.
That’s also why I think mums will like new London app Caper, which can take care of grocery shopping from specialist shops that may be an effort to get to depending on your route.
Gourmet grocery app Caper makes it easy to shop online from some of our favourite Chelsea and Fulham shops that previously haven’t had an online shopping option – and it also features Waitrose. The flat delivery charge of £3.95 is no higher than on many other online grocery sites, and there’s an ASAP option.
I had steaks from Parson’s Nose delivered before 6pm on a Friday we tested the service to review, and we had only placed the order before 5pm on the same day.
It was pouring down with rain that day, and although I had been out doing a bit of London sightseeing with the children all afternoon, taking a 3-year-old and 1-year-old grocery shopping as well would have been a push.
In the evening though I was pretty pleased we had secured some great steaks, as it meant Daddy T cooked dinner for me and I had an opportunity to sit down for a few minutes.
At the moment the app lets users shop from one shop at a time, and it specifies if a shop is open, which is essential for placing an order.
When you manage to book before closing time, however, steaks from a great butcher, pancake syrup from the American shop at Partridges, and beef meatballs from Daylesford, are just some of the things that can be delivered within a time-slot of choice, making Caper a new go-to app for ensuring a stress-free start to the weekend.
