The study, by mobile and tech retailer Currys surveyed 2,000 UK residents to discover the nation’s favourite takeaway food. In the West Midlands, Chinese takeaway topped the list with over half (51 per cent) of those in this region putting this in their top three.
This was followed by Pizza with 47 per cent picking this takeaway type as one of their favourites in second place, and in third is Friday night British staple, fish and chips, which is a top three favourite in this region for 43 per cent.
When it came to how much people are spending per person per month on takeaways, the majority of those in the West Midlands (35 per cent) said they spend £11-£30 each month on average. This is a modest amount considering the majority (26 per cent) order a takeout at least once a week, but nearly 1 in 5 (18 per cent) admit to having takeout two to three times per week.
