My thanks to all. Your replies have helped put this issue into perspective for me. I'll discuss this further with my current designer.

Thanks, fisicx. The radius script wouldn't be as useful to me as it would include locations within 5 miles as the crow flies but well over that to drive to (out in the countryside). I had already found http://www.postcode.org.uk/, which looks very promising to me, but my web designer still thought it couldn't deliver my requirements. I've now sent him an example page from Deliveroo that first asks for the delivery postcode then allows or prevents (with a suitable message) completion of the order form, which is basically what I want, with the additional option of proceeding with an order on a booked collection basis where the postcode doesn't qualify for delivery.

Hi Forum I've asked a local company to design a web site for my new food delivery business and wanted to limit free home delivery to within a 5-miles drive between my postcode and the customer's. I'm sure I've seen another food company in the past using a tool whereby the customer inputs their postcode and the embedded app confirms the driving distance qualifies, i.e. that it is within 5 miles in my case. I would expect the food order to proceed for home delivery if the 5-mile test was met (driving distance...not radius), and a message flagged should the distance be greater than 5 miles confirming this and asking if the customer wished to proceed with self collection from my business. My web designer is at a loss how to do this. Can anyone point me to such a tool or provide an idea on how to achieve this? I have no skills in coding or web design but I wish to pass on any of your ideas on this to my web designer. Thank you.
