AndChips in Dungarvan has picked up a prize at the Yes Chef Irish Takeaway Awards 2022.
The chipper on Davitt's Quay, run by Eunice Power, won the Sustainability Award at the event in Athlone on Monday night.
AndChips describes itself as "committed to using local produce so that as a community we can move towards a healthier, more sustainable, and more inclusive food system."
Two Waterford takeaways were also Highly Commended at the awards: Loko, Ardkeen, in the American Takeaway of the Year category, and Unbeetable Food (Pickardstown) for Healthy Takeaway of the Year.
The overall award went to Mangans of Wexford, a traditional fish and chip shop in Wexford Town.
The Yes Chef Irish Takeaway Awards have been running since 2019. Following the event on Monday night, Director Nicci Smith said:
It’s hard to believe that when we held our first Takeaway Awards in 2019, little did we know what lay ahead for us; and the challenges that would face the industry. I’m proud to say that the people who joined us tonight helped to sustain Irish people through some of the toughest times they have faced.
