When it came to how much people are spending per person per month on takeaways, the majority of those in Wales said they spend a modest £11-£30 each month on average. The majority of those in this region (24%) only ordering less than once a month – which is the lowest frequency in the country compared to other regions.
When asked what the top issues they face with takeout were, the most Wales residents put late delivery at the top of their list, with 41% experiencing this issue with their takeaways.
Over half of Wales residents want healthier takeaway options
The study also asked about the healthiness of takeaways in general, and although 75% of those in Wales never look at the calories of their takeout orders, 54% wish there were healthier takeaway options near them. Plus, a whopping 47% are worried about the healthiness of their takeaway orders.
This worry, however, doesn’t seem to be impacting consumption, as the same survey revealed that for the majority of those in Wales (47%) say their takeaway consumption has remained the same over the past year. Although with this being less than once a month on average, there is probably no need to cut back further.
