Maybe your local is one of the best in the entire country…
Just Eat have revealed the nominees for their annual Best Takeaway Awards, with 74 outlets shortlisted across the categories.
Last year’s overall winners, Firehouse Pizza (winner of Best Takeaway and Best Takeaway Pizza) are back to defend their title, while three new categories have been added into the mix: Best Takeaway Sustainability, Best Takeaway Vegan and Best Takeaway Breakfast.
