Throughout this past year takeaway services have played a huge role with their non-stop deliveries, collections and options to choose from.
Our local takeaways are the heartbeat of our high streets. From incredible Indians to perfect pizzerias, every town has their heroes and every individual has their favourite. Here in South Wales you can walk down any High Street and pretty much find a dish from all corners of the globe.

Last year, the Best Takeaway in Britain was NACHO CHEESE in Trowbridge. They impressed the judging panel with a combination of great food, high mystery shopper score and measures it had taken to cater to customers’ dietary needs.
Owner Lorraine Priestly has Coeliac disease and has led the way in offering gluten-free menu items, she’s also involved in projects working with Coeliac UK to help ensure other restaurants can improve their gluten-free offering. In addition, Nacho Cheese offers vegan, vegetarian and dairy-free dishes, and the packaging used is compostable and biodegradable.“

So, as the voting opens for the British Takeaway Awards, sponsored by Just Eat, who would get your vote?
We spoke to TV personality, and passionate home cook Ferne McCann, who is helping launch this year’s awards.
Incredibly the industry is worth over £12.5 billion to the UK economy, and perhaps even more after 12 months of lockdown. Takeaways have been an integral part of our culture for decades – it’s time to recognise their contribution.
Here’s a few of the winners and guests from the 2020 awards – post covid.
