HAVE BRIGG TAKEAWAYS REFLECTED FOODHUB'S LOCKDOWN SURVEY FINDINGS?

People living in Brigg and district have been busy tucking into takeaways during lockdown - our area being well served by fast food outlets offering a variety of meals.
Foodhub  - the online portal which is involved with 20,000 outlets across the UK - has kindly sent us the results of a new nationwide survey. Some Brigg takeaways are listed on Foodhub - view details here... 

One of the UK’s leading takeaway delivery apps, it polled 2,000 British adults to assess their takeaway habits during lockdown.
The most popular takeaway ordered was Chinese food, the UK survey found, with 16% opting to order this type of cuisine over other dishes. Pizza came second with 15% of the votes, followed by classic English dish fish & chips.
Curry missed out on a top three status, with only one in 10 classing it as their favourite takeaway.
Foodhub sees this as a surprising result "as Chicken Tikka Masala has been regarded as a British favourite among takeaway fans for years."
Foodhub says takeaway sales have soared with one-quarter of Brits ordering up to twice as much takeaway food than they did prior to the pandemic, with one-third of UK customers ordering a takeaway meal at least once or twice a week.
More than half of those surveyed (52%) said they ordered more takeaways during lockdown because they were sick of cooking, while 35% said they had nothing else to spend their money on with restaurants, bars and shops being closed due to the national restrictions.
Wil Chung, Foodhub's spokesperson, said: “Lockdown saw a big rise in takeaway orders and fast-food deliveries, due to restaurant and pub closures. In fact, as a nation, we ordered so much takeaway food during the last year that many of us (42%) are now on first name terms with our delivery drivers.
“When it comes to ordering a food feast, customers clearly like to stick to their favourite takeaway treats - almost three-quarters of people (69%) said they have not tried new takeaway cuisines during lockdown and just stayed with ordering what they know and love.”
During lockdown, one in 10 Brits have been spending between £50-£60 a week on takeaway food.
When it comes to takeaway favourites, 26% of 18-24-year-olds would choose to order a pizza above all other meals, while one in five 45-54-year-olds would opt for a Chinese, Foodhub's research reveals.
