Some things are best left to the professionals.
This, of course, applies to areas like tattooing, electrical work, and medicine, but in the spooky month of October we’re fast realising this applies to pumpkin carving.
Don’t get us wrong, taking blade to orange can be a true seasonal delight. A time to bond with the family, an opportunity to spend some time with your favourite squash plant that doesn’t involve drinking it in a spiced latte.
However, a helplessly hacked at pumpkin or a knife injury can turn out to be the scariest thing about Halloween. Besides, have you planned how you’ll use up all that leftover flesh?
Fortunately, Deliveroo has announced they’ll be offering pre-carved pumpkins this Halloween.
Customers in London, Leeds and Manchester can order a jack-o’-lantern from the British food delivery company for a tidy £1 on Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 October, the big day.
‘Who has the time to intricately design and carve a giant pumpkin, all-the-while adorning cute cat ears and whiskers to pull off the ultimate Halloween look – it’s all too much!’ said Kate Thomas, director of consumer communications at Deliveroo.
‘So this Halloween take it easy and make sure you trump your friends and colleagues with one of our £1 bargain pumpkin designs.’
Deliveroo isn’t exactly suggesting you cart your pumpkin to your office’s carving competition to pass it off as your handiwork, but they aren’t not suggesting it.
The pumpkins, available to be ordered on the app, will take just 30 minutes to arrive at your door. You’ll have to be even quicker to get your orders in, as just under 100 of these pre-carved hunnies will be available.
The spooky squashes will be carved by Brighton-based ‘Pumpkin Carving Queen’, who is a professionally trained stonemason who happens to carve vegetables like a boss.
Deliveroo has also launched their Friday Freebie deal, meaning that on every Friday in October you can get a free side, dessert or starter from more than 3,500 restaurants in the UK.
Participating eateries are some of your favourites, including Pizza Express, TGI Fridays, Shake Shack, Pizza Hut, Ask Italian, and Gourmet Burger Kitchen.
