Yes — several of the larger shops operate as supermarkets rather than corner shops, with fresh meat, frozen fish and a wider household range. They are listed here alongside the smaller grocery shops.
Hair and beauty suppliers are listed separately from the grocery shops, because they stock by brand and often keep later hours. Look for the hair shop listings rather than the grocery ones.
Some do, most do not. Where a shop has published a delivery option it is noted on the listing. If it is not noted, ring before assuming — it is the fastest way to find out.
