The average Brit spends of £451 a year on takeaway meals – and enjoys an average of 34 take-out meals a year.

People tend to feel “lazy” and order food about three to four times a month.

This means that on average, Brits spend a little over £13 on one meal.

This shows that “takeaway” is no longer a dirty word and more and more Brits are swerving spending time in the kitchen.

Unsurprisingly, Brits still love a curry

Londoners are the biggest culprits here, forking out a sizeable £709 a year.

Residents of the capital also had the highest frequency in people ordering out, with many admitting to ordering seven or more meals a week.

According to a research from the British Takeaway Campaign, Chinese food was the most popular cuisine, followed closely by Indian food.

Meanwhile, chicken chow mein was found to be Britain's most popular takeaway dish.

Fish and chips is the third most popular takeaway order

Vegan food has also seen an incredible spike in orders, with vegan takeaway meals rising over five fold since 2016.

The survey by accountants KMPG found that people of Wales are least inclined to order out.

The Welsh had an average of 18 takeaway meals a year, almost half of the national average.

On the other hand, Southampton shelled out the most on carry-out meals, having spent over a £1,000 a year.

However, their frequency of ordering was relatively low, buying only 25 meals a year.

Since the rise of third party food delivery apps like UberEats and Deliveroo, there has been a rise in young people ordering out.

While people aged 18-34 mostly order using these apps, about two in five Britons still prefer calling the restaurant directly to order.
