EXCLUSIVE OPERATOR OPPORTUNITY
Own THE rural takeaway delivery business for NEWTOWN
Countryside Eats is developing a dedicated rural delivery network designed specifically for rural towns, villages and countryside communities.
As a Countryside Eats operator, you establish and run your own local company within an exclusive Newtown territory, using the Countryside Eats brand, systems and purpose-built rural delivery framework.
ONE TERRITORY. ONE OPERATOR.
Each territory is made available to one approved operator only. Once the Newtown territory is formally allocated, it is no longer available to another Countryside Eats operator.
You’re not starting from scratch — you’re plugging into a model built specifically for rural delivery.

The MARKET
The Newtown Opportunity
Newtown is a historic Powys market town positioned on the River Severn and surrounded by rolling hills, villages, farmland and rural communities. The defined 6-mile territory extends beyond the town centre into the surrounding Mid Wales countryside, creating a delivery catchment that reaches well beyond the core population of Newtown itself.
Newtown combines a historic town centre, independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, markets and a strong local community. The town already supports a varied retail and hospitality sector, meaning the opportunity is focused on improving access, convenience and rural delivery reach rather than building customer demand from zero.
A key difference in the Countryside Eats model is that customer choice is not limited to a closed partner list. Customers can order directly from any eligible takeaway in Newtown town centre, including non-partner businesses, pay the takeaway directly, and use Countryside Eats for collection and delivery.
The defined 6-mile territory takes in Newtown and surrounding rural communities across the Severn Valley and wider Powys countryside. Rural roads, dispersed homes and communities beyond the main urban area create a delivery environment where sensible launch zones, driver positioning and disciplined service boundaries are essential from the outset.
The surrounding Powys countryside and dispersed rural communities create a delivery pattern that requires active route management. Newtown forms the operational core, with the wider territory introduced in controlled zones as driver capacity, order density and customer demand are established.

OPERATIONAL GEOGRAPHY
Estimated resident population within the defined 6-mile Newtown territory, encompassing Newtown and nearby rural communities including Llanllwchaiarn, Kerry, Abermule, Bettws Cedewain, Tregynon, Mochdre and Aberhafesp all falling within the territory boundary.
Newtown supports a varied takeaway market including Indian, Chinese, kebab and fish-and-chip businesses, alongside independent restaurants and cafés. The operator proposition is therefore built around an established pool of local food businesses and a broad range of customer choice.

The OPPORTUNITY
Build your territory. Grow your local network.
Build a local delivery operation around Newtowns’s established takeaway economy and surrounding rural communities. Customers are not restricted to partner takeaways: they can order and pay a Newtown town-centre takeaway directly and use Countryside Eats for collection and delivery.
Expand through practical route clusters towards nearby rural communities such as Kerry, Abermule, Bettws Cedewain and Tregynon, and surrounding villages as order density and driver capacity support reliable service.

GROW THE LOCAL NETWORK
Start with Newtown town centre, a controlled delivery zone and dependable driver coverage. Customer-requested collection from eligible non-partner takeaways can operate alongside the development of formal restaurant partnerships.
Build direct relationships with local food businesses for deeper integration and promotion while retaining the wider customer proposition: eligible Newtown town-centre takeaways do not have to be formal partners for a customer to request collection and delivery.
