Whether you’re ordering a Chinese or a chicken burger, a pizza or a pudding – everyone has an opinion on where’s best to find their chosen feast on Deliveroo. But the only way to settle the score fairly is to leave it to a vote. So here you have, as decided by Deliveroo users across the city, the winners of the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2024 across the North and the Midlands. From the best breakfast to the beating heart of the community, these are the top places to order from according to the UK’s foodies…
1. Burgerism – Best Burger & American
It was hardly surprising to see Burgerism take the prize for this one, after they were listed as one of the UK’s best burger joints in 2023. These guys are serious about smash patties, and you should seriously prioritise trying one if you haven’t already! (Salford, Stockport)
2. Double Zero – Best Pizza
Double Zero’s soft, chewy dough is fermented for a minimum of 48 hours before being adorned with the finest of toppings. From goat’s cheese, fig and caramelised onion to wild broccoli and Italian sausage, every pizza is a show-stopper in its own right. (Manchester)
3. Clucking Oinks – Best Chicken
The best way to sum up Clucking Oinks is fantastic fried chicken, but with a boujee as hell makeover. It wasn’t until we tried it that we found out a chicken burger simply needs truffle mayo, hot honey, crispy prosciutto and grated parmesan. (York)
4. Moose – Best Coffee & Breakfast
Whether it’s a potato hash with all the trimmings, a stack of fluffy pancakes doused in maple syrup or a grilled sandwich oozing with cheese, Moose Coffee’s comprehensive North American menu is here to fulfil all of your breakfast needs. (Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester)
5. Get Baked – Best Dessert
They’re best known for their towering, 24-layered Bruce Bogtrotter-inspired chocolate cake, but Get Baked’s uber-indulgent menu offers tons of sweet treats to sink your teeth into. Think Mississippi mud brownies, cinnamon roll cookies, and birthday cake pudding! (Leeds)
6. Unagi Street Food & Sushi – Best Japanese
Unagi’s menu truly offers everything you’d want from a Japanese feast. Take it from us, a bowl of steaming, prawn chilli udon noodles tastes even better with a side of salt and pepper chicken wings and crispy duck uramaki… (Manchester)
7. Mughli – Best Indian
We can all agree, to be crowned King, not only of Manchester’s Curry Mile, but of all of Deliveroo’s Indian restaurants in the North of England and the Midlands, is quite the achievement. Everything on Mughli’s menu deserves to be tried, but the Bombay sandwich, the biryani and the fried onion pilau rice are a great place to start. (Manchester)
8. Zaap Thai – Best Thai
Zaap Thai brings the punchy flavours of Thai street food to the UK in over 80 mouth-watering dishes. Starters and sharers include tiger prawns and braised pork ribs, with an abundance of rice and noodles dishes, curries, and roasted meats to explore for mains. (Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham, Newcastle, York)
9. Red Chilli – Best Chinese
Red Chilli is on a mission to elevate its customers’ experience with Chinese food without breaking the bank, and we think it’s fair to say they’ve succeeded. Their authentic delicious Beijing and Sichuan menu features all the big hitters, including crispy duck and dan dan noodles, as well as delicacies such as chilli soft shell crab and stir fried scallops. (York, Manchester)
10. Mythos – Best Turkish and Kebab
When you’re craving succulent grilled meats with fresh salads and herby dip Mythos has got you covered. Put wild boar sausage, pork, chicken, roasted veg or halloumi in a fluffy pita with some oregano chips on the side and you’re onto a winner. (Leeds)
11. Slap and Pickle – Regional Restaurant of the Year
Slap and Pickle might’ve won their given award for their monstrously meaty burgers, but they definitely don’t discriminate. With an equally extensive menu dedicated to veggies and vegans, diners of all persuasions can order like a king from Slap and Pickle. (Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Wakefield, Hebden Bridge)
12. Happy Mondays – Beating Heart of the Community
This independent, award-winning small-batch roaster in Rushden brings joy to the community with brunch staples and outstanding coffee guaranteed to brighten up any day. How could you not have a smile on your face when getting a slow cooked pulled chilli beef bagel and a biscoff latte delivered to your door? (Rushden)
