The North of England orders more takeaways per person than their southern counterparts, according to a national survey. The study shows that Manchurians order more takeaways per household than any other city in the UK.
According to sales data and a national survey commissioned by online takeaway provider, Just-Eat.co.uk, Manchester orders more takeaways per week than any other city, averaging 2.9 takeaways a week per household. Four of the top five cities in the top 10 are northern cities, while three southern cities make the top 10.
The results showed that nationally, 33.5% of the public had one takeaway a week, whereas nearly a quarter or 23.7% ordered a takeaway twice a week.
