Much Loved Tipperary Restaurant Lyons Takeaway Wins ‘Best Chipper’ at Annual Just Eat Awards

The results are in! Just Eat, Ireland’s leading on demand food delivery platform, has announced the winners of its annual Awards. Independently owned restaurant Lyons Takeaway, which has locations in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary and Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, took home the top prize in the ‘Best Chipper’ category. Lyons was recognised by the public for producing the best take on Ireland’s most iconic food duo, the fish and chips, that is available to order on Just Eat.

This year’s ‘Best of Ireland’ award has been won by Handsome Burger. Handsome Burger was recognised as the ‘Best of Ireland’ winner, for receiving the highest number of votes cast by the Irish public, both in its individual category (Best Burger & American), and overall. The full list of Just Eat partners that won included:

Since opening its first restaurant in Galway in 2019, Handsome Burger’s award-winning menu of burgers, fries and sides has gained a legion of fans, as well as being recognised today by the public as the best food to order on Just Eat. As the winner of ‘Best of Ireland’, Handsome Burger has been awarded a €50,000 media package, offering the team a fantastic opportunity to boost its brand nationwide and attract new customers.

The €50,000 media package is a brand new prize introduced by Just Eat this year, designed to support the restaurant partners who are at the heart of its business. The prize will further boost Handsome Burger’s thriving and rapidly growing brand. This initiative also highlights Just Eat’s continued commitment to empowering its partners, encouraging innovation and celebrating their culinary talent across the network.

Thousands of the Irish public cast their votes for this year’s Just Eat Awards, which celebrate the dedication, passion and excellence that the platform’s partners put into every order delivered to the doors of communities across Ireland. Category winners were selected from a shortlist of over 80 nominees and were announced this afternoon at a lunch event in Fallon & Byrne.

Commenting on the winners of the annual Just Eat Awards, Amanda Roche-Kelly, Managing Director of Just Eat Ireland said: ‘‘Foodies have never had as much choice for innovative, delicious and bold dishes. This year marks eleven years of the annual Just Eat Awards. We wanted to do something particularly special for our partners this year and we’re delighted to award this year’s ‘Best of Ireland’ winner, Handsome Burger, with a €50,000 media package. Rory and the Handsome Burger team have truly built up a phenomenal following since bursting onto the food delivery scene over six years ago, and with plans to ‘take over the world’ (in their words!) in sight, we look forward to supporting them in getting closer to that goal.

Congratulations to all this year’s Tipperary winners, and to all our partners, for their ongoing dedication and innovation that you put into every dish, and to every meal delivered. Our partners are central to everything we do, and I would like to thank the public that voted and showed support to their favourite local restaurants in Tipperary too’.
