Food and drink consignments fail for one of two reasons: they arrive late, or they arrive at the wrong temperature. Deadline runs a dedicated refrigerated division alongside our general fleet so both risks are covered on the same account.
Every food and beverage consignment travels on a dedicated vehicle. Nothing is co-loaded with non-food freight, which removes the contamination and taint risk that comes with consolidated networks, and means the vehicle goes from your door to the destination without a depot in between.
Our fleet covers the full temperature range:
| Ambient | Dry goods, packaging, tableware, beverage stock and non-perishable supplies |
| Chilled | Fresh produce, dairy, prepared dishes, charcuterie and short-life ingredients |
| Frozen | Frozen ingredients, desserts, ice and cold-hold stock |
| Mixed loads | Ambient and temperature-controlled goods on one dedicated vehicle |
| Same-day emergency | Urgent ingredient runs and mid-service top-ups |
| Overnight | Stock in place for an early kitchen start |
| Multi-drop | Scheduled runs across several kitchens, venues or outlets |
| Short-term storage | Warehousing and storage in London |
Tell our team the product, the temperature range and the time it has to be there, and we will confirm the right vehicle for the job.
You’ll benefit from having a dedicated delivery team on hand to assist you with your day-to-day activities. Deadline Couriers are the courier company that care!
