Northern Ireland Takeaway: Cuisine at Home

Updated On: November 07, 2023 by   Ciaran Connolly

Irish cuisine has been on the rise over the last decade with our gastronomic skills impressing travellers and locals alike. Getting to restaurants and cafes isn’t always an option, but plenty of businesses have been stepping up to meet the demands of the consumers with everyone’s favourite treat: takeaway. The Northern Ireland Takeaway scene is at an all-time high and now more options are available from places that would usually be sit-in. From affordable to decadent options, there are plenty to avail of over the coming months.

Wolf and Devour: Takeaway Burgers

For fresh and local food that pulls no punches, look no further than Wolf & Devour. Some may be familiar with their ‘street food’ truck, but they also have been quietly carving out a permanent presence on the Upper Newtownards Road in Belfast. Developed in 2015, Wolf and Devour are passionate about food and source their meat from Peter Hannan in the Meat Merchant in Moira, their fish from Sean McKeown in Bangor, and vegetables from local farms like Roy Lyttle’s and Helen’s Bay organics – talk about knowing where your food comes from! Now offering a takeaway service, their food can be ordered for collection or delivered within a two-mile radius of the home store. The Wolf & Devour experience displays a revolutionary approach to ‘street food’, serving homemade burgers that are affordable and fresh. With an incredible selection of burgers and fries, this is some of the best takeaways Belfast has to offer! 

 

Established Coffee: The Best Takeaway Coffee

The toast of the design world, Established Coffee is located in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter in minimalist surroundings. Serving rich coffee roasted from all over the world, Established has recently opened up their own roastery, planning to begin their own coffee – bringing everything local. Established offer more than just a coffee shop. With a staff who are dedicated to all things coffee, they have opened, in the last few months, Established to Go which allows for food and drink to be purchased for those who don’t have time to come inside. The development of their website has seen the ability to order coffee, merchandise, and brewing equipment from home as well as their food packages. These can be delivered to the Belfast area and there is also a click and collect option available. Arguably Belfast’s best coffee, another of Northern Ireland takeaways that have to be tried.
