A pizza and pasta business that started in lockdown and a vegan kebab restaurant in the Northern Quarter are among those vying for the title of Britain’s Top Takeaway. The new BBC show started this week, and will feature Chorlton’s newly-opened Lucky Mama’s on Monday night’s show (May 16) and What The Pitta on May 18.
The show pits five takeaways from across the UK against each other per episode, all from a particular style of takeaway food, who all cook in a specially created kitchen. Their dishes are then sent to local households to be judged, with a new winner crowned each week.
The show is presented by Sara Cox and comedian Darren Harriott, with the first episode - fish & chips - airing on Monday this week.
