SMBI Food & Goods & Services Options

G'day All,

(Updated: 6 September, 2020)

In response to a question on one of the SMBI-related Facebook Groups, I've made this blog post so that not only the Facebook users, but also non-Facebook users can have access to this information.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, we're in a slightly tricky place over here on the SMBI - both in a good and a bad way (but by far, mostly good).

One of the more interesting exercises is getting food delivered to those of us who are in the higher risk categories and have been either directed to self-isolate, or had it strongly suggested that we self-isolate.

So, here's a list of the Food and Goods takeaway delivery options available to the SMBI that will be updated as and when I'm made aware of any changes. (Saying that, unless I'm informed of a change to the information below, the information is as presented the last time I was made aware of it, so it may be out of date slightly.) Also listed are other businesses and their current operating information.


Please also note that a number of businesses are making their products available through Bay Islands Eats, which is an initiative of the SMBI Little Bus. To place orders for delivery, order and pay over the phone with the store and ask for it to be delivered via Bay Island Eats. The details for this service are:

Bay Island Eats - How It Works
1. Browse our index of local businesses for the items you need
You can do this via the ‘Eat’, ‘Drink’ and 'Health and Groceries’ options on our website.
2. Contact the business you wish to place an order with
Make your order in full and specify that you would like delivery.
3. Pay for your goods
The cost of your goods can be paid directly to the business over the phone (excluding delivery fee), or our Bay Island Eats delivery driver can take payment of cash and card upon delivery.
Delivery costs should ALWAYS be paid directly to the driver when your order is delivered.
4. Collection and delivery
The business will book in a pickup time for your goods and one of our drivers will collect it from the venue and deliver it to your door.
Visit https://www.bayislandeats.com/ for more information and delivery costs.
