Chicken and Chinese cuisine top the list as the favourite takeaway options for residents in numerous boroughs of London, according to Just Eat.
In the boroughs of Newham, Lambeth and Greenwich, chicken orders top the list, followed by Chinese,
The roles are reversed in Barking and Dagenham, where East Asian cuisine orders came out top, followed by chicken.
In all four boroughs, takeaway order favourites remain pizza, Indian, kebabs and fish & chips, which are all ranked amongst the top ten most popular cuisines. However, there is an increase in demand for Caribbean, Turkish, Japanese and African cuisines.
Data from Just Eat shows that in Barking and Dagenham, Caribbean and Turkish food is rising in popularity, whereas Greenwich residents have a growing preference for Japanese and African cuisine.
Just Eat adds that Dagenham residents have the biggest sweet tooth out of the four boroughs. And overall, across the four boroughs, Greenwich residents order the most takeaways, followed by Newham and Lambeth.
Chinese restaurants Beijing House and Mr Chinese have come out on top as Newham and Lambeth’s most popular independent restaurants respectively, whilst Barking and Dagenham residents opted for fish and chip restaurant Queen’s Fish Bar as a firm favourite. Meanwhile, Italian eatery Pizza Base is Greenwich residents’ top independent.
Analysis if different day parts shows Greenwich is the home of early sleepers and early risers, with the highest number of orders being made between 6am and 11am, compared to other boroughs.
On the flip side, Lambeth residents emerge as night owls, with late-night purchases making up almost 10% of all orders, nearly double the rate of Greenwich.
