I was honoured to be invited to attend the British Takeaway Award. thisis certainly one of the highlights of the calendar! Held at the Savoy in London, a venue that speaks for itself.

The awards are completely funded by Just Eat and I get invited as a guest through the work my organisation does with them on the British Takeaway Campaign.

the host for the night was the brilliant David Walliams, who did a fantastic job keeping the event moving.
It was great to catch up with people from the other takeaway cuisine associations. We have a great working relationship and are committed to gain the same respect for takeaways as the hospitality sector enjoys.
I also caught up with Strad, you may recognise him from the Just Eat intros on the X Factor.

And of course the lovely Rachel Riley.. very night to talk to.
