NationalWorld has obtained data from app-based fast food delivery firm Deliveroo, revealing the nation’s 20 favourite takeaway dishes over the last six months.

Despite being a relative newcomer to British shores, American burger joint Five Guys comes out on top.

Its humble cheeseburger was the UK’s most popular dish, piping the more long-standing KFC’s boneless banquet to the post.

Deliveroo could not reveal the number of times each meal or menu item was ordered.

It’s not just our Friday night takeaways that we turn to Deliveroo for.

The data shows a latte from Costa Coffee was the 12th most ordered item, and in 17th place was a five pack of bananas from Alidi. Waitrose’s ‘perfectly ripe avocados’ came in 18th.
