Where does the most mouthwatering kebab in the country? What establishment could you say has the tastiest burger in all of Ireland? Well, the Takeaway Teams from across Ireland came together to celebrate the best takeaways in Ireland to settle the debate.
Meeting in a packed Radisson Blu Hotel in Athlone on February 20 the Takeaway Teams from around the country met to dish out awards for Burger of the Year and even Onion Ring of the Year.
Shane Smith, Managing Director of NI Media who runs the awards, said: “Food to go is one of the fastest growing sectors in the foodservice sector. Customer expectations are high and the modern Irish diner has a discerning palate.

“The standards that we encountered this year were incredibly high and the quality of food delivered was outstanding.
“We are lucky to have an extensive panel of researchers and every entrant to the awards was inspected by experienced judges. We’d like to thank them and everyone who took part in this year’s programme.”
