Host Shane Smith said;
“Food to Go is the fastest growing sector in the food service industry, where, how and what we eat is changing at lightning speed. The experiences that the Irish consumer and visitors to our wonderful island seek is that of high quality, well cooked food, delivered by friendly and knowledgeable staff.
These businesses are on the cutting edge and sometimes the cliff face of the hospitality industry. We rely on them to deliver high quality fast food day and night and make no mistake; the Irish customer is discerning. The days of the greasy spoon and poorly cooked food are long gone.”
And this is what our researchers found! Each and every one of the entrants has been visited and assessed and the reports showed an incredibly high standard.
To recognise that standard NI Media has launched our ‘Great Food to Go’ quality mark. Businesses awarded this mark have been assessed and recommended by The Irish Takeaway Awards researchers.
NI Media would like to thank The Irish Takeaway Awards Sponsors for their support; Manor Farm, Bunzl McLaughlin and YesChef – the magazine for lovers of good food. Thanks also to Traditional Cheese Co and Crossogue Preserves who provided artisan produce for the awards dinner along with After Curry Mint. Guy Clothing, Nell’s Closet and Knock Castle in Crieff who sponsored our Best Dressed Lady & Gent.
