Budgens, the supermarket chain, is moving into the takeaway market, selling a range of Indian, Chinese and pasta dishes as well as adding a rotisserie section.

The company is testing the concept at its Soham branch, and if it is successful it will be rolled out nationwide next year.

The supermarket group no longer offers home delivery internet shopping, but said that it was teaming up with Teleflorist to offer an online flower delivery service.
