Can you get Easter eggs delivered?

At the moment UK supermarkets are facing increasing demand due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Government has advised people use food delivery services at the present time, but supermarkets are urging people who can buy their groceries in-store to do so, to free up delivery slots for the most vulnerable people.

Many supermarkets are booked up for weeks in advance at the moment, so you may have better luck visiting other online retailers for your Easter egg needs.

There are a number of chocolate shops online, and Express.co.uk has collated some of the retailers delivering this Easter.

Hotel Chocolat

Although Hotel Chocolat has streamlined its offering online due to coronavirus, there are plenty of Easter treats to choose from on their website.

‘The Happy Bunnies Collection’ includes a chocolate bunny, chick and lamb, a milk chocolate Easter egg and plenty of chocolate and caramel bunnies for £30.

‘The All Things Easter Collection’ will set you back £70, but there’s definitely enough chocolate to get you through the next few weeks at home!
