There is nothing more glorious than a takeaway.
Always a good idea; be it midweek to help you over the Wednesday slump, for so-called filthy Fridays (a lunchtime staple at the Lovin offices), or at the weekend to cure one hell of a hangover.
The only way to stop hanger in its tracks. We all know the infamous ‘phoning for a takeaway’ scene from Gavin and Stacey…and let’s be honest, Smithy suffering a mini-meltdown over curry protocol is all of us.
Well the Irish Takeaway Awards, brought to you by the faces behind YesChef, are here to honour the country’s best to-go grub.
250 guests gathered to celebrate favourites from around the country.
