JUST EAT’s Tried & Tasted awards 2015

There’s something to be said about having food delivered to your door, as busy working parents the Doves’ are definitely fans. We always enjoy JUST EAT who are the UK’s leading food delivery service and act as an intermediary for various food outlets in your local area. The brand can now be found in 13 countries globally and right here in the UK there are a staggering 22,500 restaurants participating.

The concept is simple. Search for your favourite take away restaurants, place an order online and wait for your delivery or, if you prefer, go pick it up. Most recently we opted for Peking Mixed Hor D’oeuvres, Crispy Aromatic Duck and Singapore Vermicelli Spicy Rice Noodles.

We used a restaurant we’d not tried before, Oriental Express, which had 5 stars and 229 reviews. The delivery was speedy which is just what we wanted (we were starving!) and the food was delicious.

Having met Mr Mozzarella at the MAD Blog awards last year (and having a love for good food!), it’s great to hear JUST EAT run annual Tried and Tested Awards which are focused on quality and consistency.

This involves food lovers across the country voting for their favourite takeaways via the JUST EAT website. Customers feed back on their experience by reviewing and rating their much-loved local takeaways. Leading on from there comes the JUST EAT Tried and Tested awards. These focus on quality and consistency – the latter recognising over a thousand takeaway restaurants out of the overall 8,000 that have won Tried and Tested for the past four years.

Out of the consistency winners, 20 of best takeaways (by ratings and reviews) were chosen from cities that had accumulated the most Tried and Tested winners overall. Winning restaurants had to have more than 100 online reviews with an average rating of 4.5 (out of 6) or above. There are several in the London area including Moon Lee, Zias and You Me Sushi.
