In the award finals you’ve all been waiting for, we’re pleased to announce that a Yorkshire takeaway has officially been crowned the best in the whole of the UK at the BTA’s (British Takeaway Awards) this week.
You might think that a Yorkshire takeaway winning this award would be serving up pies or fish and chips, but you’d be wrong. Japanese restaurant Sakushi won hands down in two categories, taking home the gong for both the best takeaway in Britain and the best takeaway in Yorkshire at the ceremony.
Let’s be honest, us Yorkshire lot love a good takeaway treat – and it seems that Sakushi came out head and shoulders above the competition, impressing with its mixture of hand-rolled sushi, katsu, teriyaki and gyoza.
Delivering up to 12 miles from the restaurant, the Sheffield restaurant also covers a huge radius seven days a week – putting paid to the 3-mile average delivery radiuses of most door-to-door app delivery services such as Uber Eats.
They’ve certainly been going above and beyond for their customers, we think it’s fair to say.
Sharing the news to their social media, the team said:
“Sakushi isn’t just the best in Yorkshire! We are the best in the UK! Thank you so much to everyone and it is our pleasure to serve you the best Japanese in the country!
“We all had an amazing night at the #BTAs.”
The awards ceremony took place this week, presented by none other than Max & Paddy’s Paddy McGuiness.
Judged by Asma Khan from Netflix’s Chef’s Table and Mowgli founder and TV chef Nisha Katona MBE, they were up against some tough competition but cleared the floor by takihg home not one but two top awards on the night.
As well as claiming all the glory, Sakushi took home a total cash prize of £6,000 for the two awards combined, as well as being gifted £200 to spend on Just Eat takeaways.
Andrew Kenny, Managing Director of Just Eat, said: “Takeaway food is a massive part of our British culture and this year more than ever we wanted to recognise the local takeaways that kept the nation fed, while also making an immeasurable contribution to their local communities and the UK economy.
“From delivering a taste of normality when communities needed it most to providing healthier options we want to congratulate all of the deserving winners for continuing to bring the nation the food they love.”
