Down detector, a service tracking website, also showed an increase in the number of people who are experiencing problems with the app.

Most issues have been reported at checkout, with others experiencing issues logging in to use the service.

A customer who took to Twitter to express concern said: "Uber eats is down and I wanna cry I’m so hung over I just need Maccies breakfast."

Another said: "UBER EATS IS DOWN. Right when I’m about to order."

While a third said: "Uber Eats isn't working! Got no food in, how am I meant to survive this morning!"

It is not clear if the issues are just in to England as one user, claiming to be from Perth, Scotland, said: "Wonderful. Apparently Uber Eats is completely down in Perth".
