Britain's best takeaway has been revealed as an independent business which came out on top against thousands of other entrants.

Sandwich Sandwich, which offers the 'finest' food including chicken parmigiana flatbread and sweet potato hash on granary bread, was named Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year last week. Their mouthwatering menu won the hearts of the public and a panel of judges including Prue Leith and Monica Galetti. The Bristol-based takeaway was awarded £100,000 to invest in their business.

Mexican-style kitchen Broritto's has been named the best in London. Whilst the best takeaway was named as Natty's Jerk Chicken in the South East. Locke Burger came out on top in Ireland.

Josh Kleiner, owner at Sandwich Sandwich said the money will allow their ambitions to "grow" further as a family business, reports Daily Mail. He said: "It is difficult to put into words how much being announced as the winner of the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards means to us. The process has been so exciting from start to finish and it has been incredible to take part alongside the other finalists. Big shout out to our restaurant team back home in Bristol, our family and of course Uber Eats for the support in getting us to this moment. This investment will make our ambitions to grow as a family business a reality."

This year's awards aimed support towards small businesses who have had to battle the harsh economic conditions the UK has faced. It comes as research by Uber Eats discovered that 65 per cent of merchants feel they are understaffed. 70 per cent of its restruant partners highlighted inflation, while 64 per cent named energy costs as their main concerns.

Matthew Price, Regional General Manager of Uber Eats in UKI and Northern Europe, praised the winners and said: "Huge congratulations to Sandwich Sandwich, the winner of our Restaurant of the Year, who saw off stiff competition from thousands of other restaurants to be crowned the winner. It has been a very challenging time for small restaurants up and down the country which have faced skyrocketing food costs and energy bills. We want to play our role in helping to support and champion the best small businesses and under-represented groups within the restaurant industry through our awards."
