Eastbourne’s takeaway trends during lockdown

Just Eat and Deliveroo have released their top five most ordered dishes in the town.

From classic fish and chips to Fairtrade bananas, Eastbourne has enjoyed a range of cuisine since the first lockdown in March.

In the last 10 months Just Eat says it has seen a peak in orders between 4pm and 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays with chicken being the top category for food in the area.

Chinese, pizza, American and fish and chips follow the favourite cuisine but despite this Eastbourne’s most ordered dish from Just Eat was cod and chips.

Chicken chow mein and a classic cheeseburger follows the British staple ahead of chicken and doner kebabs.

Meanwhile, Deliveroo has reported an increase in grocery shopping through the app in the area since the first lockdown while experiencing a similar peak time of 6.47pm on a Friday.

Over the last three months the gravy burger box from KFC has been the most ordered meal in Eastbourne.

7Bone’s ‘Prince Charles Is Overrated’ burger was second behind the KFC meal and it’s clear Eastbourne loves fried chicken as The Bok Shop was third with their Hadouken Burger Combo.

Surprisingly, Fairtrade small bananas from the Co-op are the fourth most ordered item in Eastbourne while Pad Thai from Seeracha was fifth.
