Pain #1 The Stress of Organizing the Group Shop via a Whatsapp Group
Pain point #1
Currently, organising food and drink for a self-catering getaway usually means setting up a WhatsApp group or email chain.
One person often takes the lead, collecting everyone’s dietary preferences, allergens, and meal ideas, which can quickly become overwhelming.
The lead person is then responsible for shopping, gathering ingredients from the supermarket, often leading to frustration, especially when juggling group preferences, and may end up with excess purchases, food waste, or forgotten items.
Solution with Locally Away:
Locally Away streamlines this process by allowing everyone in the group to collectively choose what they need.
Each person can add their dietary preferences and allergen info, making it a seamless, collaborative shopping experience.
This reduces unnecessary food waste, packaging waste, and stress by ensuring everyone gets what they want without one person having to carry the burden.

Pain #2 Forgetting Essential Ingredients Once You Arrive
Pain point #2
After a long drive, it's common to arrive at your self-catering accommodation only to realise you've forgotten a key ingredient (like chutney for cheese night or fajita seasoning for Mexican night).
This leads to repeated trips to the local supermarket, wasting your time and adding stress, especially in rural areas where shops may be limited or far away.
Solution with Locally Away:
With Locally Away, we think ahead so you don’t have to. Our platform carefully curates your basket, ensuring all the small details (like that chutney or seasoning) are accounted for.
We save you from multiple trips to the supermarket, letting you enjoy more of your getaway without worrying about forgotten items.
And, not only that, but we offer some ingredients that you couldn't typically find at your local supermarket at home.
Its a culinary experience; designed so that your meals are as special as the location.

Pain #3 Wasting Space in the Car for Food & Drink
Pain point #3
Driving to your getaway often means packing food and drink in your car, taking up valuable space that could be used for other essentials like an extra passenger or your dog’s beloved bed.
There’s also the added stress of rushing to the shops once you arrive, hoping they’re still open—especially if you want alcohol before the local 10pm cutoff (nightmare! we are sure we've all experienced it! Are we right?!)
Solution with Locally Away:
Locally Away delivers your food and drink directly to your accommodation, ready for when you arrive.
We coordinate with the self-catering providers to ensure your order is waiting for you, allowing you to fully relax upon arrival, with more space in your car and less stress about shop timings.
This means more time spent enjoying your getaway, not running to the store or unpacking unnecessary items from the car.
