A shortage of delivery drivers has disrupted supplies to supermarkets and hospitality.
Fresh food supplies at Beefeater Pub and Subway outlets were also hit yesterday.
Industry experts say the driver shortage is a result of Brexit and the pandemic.
A Beefeater spokesperson said supply chain issues have led to a shortage of bottled beer and chicken.
Subway outlets in London and Norfolk have reportedly put up posters about the lack of content – but this was not confirmed by the company.
