New Year’s Day was Deliveroo’s biggest ever day in Ireland — here’s what people ordered

Deliveroo Ireland

We were hungry lads on New Year’s Day.

Plenty of people decide to order less takeaway food as their New Year’s resolution, but you know what they say: resolutions are made to be broken.

Or at least that’s exactly what happened yesterday (1 January). Food delivery app Deliveroo has reported its biggest ever day since it began operating in Ireland. Overall, the increase in demand amounted to a 159% jump on the app’s average orders.

Dublin was the hungriest city in the country, with orders from the capital almost doubling as people quickly gave up on their new year, new me fitness regimes and opted for a burger instead.

These were the top five meals ordered across Ireland on New Year’s Day 2019.

  1. Bacon Cheeseburger from Five Guys, Dublin
  2. Burrito from Burritos & Blues, Cork
  3. Doner Kebab from Abrakebabra, Limerick
  4. Spice Bag from Xian Street Food, Galway
  5. Steak Burger from Build-a-Burger, Belfast

Any of those look familiar?
