Introduction
Forget the stress of cooking and cleaning—takeaway nights are the new dinner parties. Whether you’re catching up with friends, planning a family movie night, or celebrating a special occasion, ordering in can be just as memorable (and much easier). At Foodhub, we believe takeaway should bring people together over great food, minus the fuss. Here’s how to host a takeaway night everyone will actually enjoy.
1. Know Your Guests’ Preferences
Before placing any orders, ask your guests about their dietary needs and favourite cuisines. Whether it’s vegetarian, spicy, gluten-free, or all about indulgence, knowing what everyone likes ensures everyone leaves happy—and full.
2. Mix and Match Cuisines
Why stick to one when you can enjoy multiple? With Foodhub, it’s easy to browse a wide variety of local takeaways in one place. Pair a pizza with samosas or sushi with burgers—your guests will love the culinary adventure.
3. Create a Fun Atmosphere
Set the scene! Light some candles, put on a playlist, or set up a movie night. The goal is to make your home feel special without going overboard. A few thoughtful touches can make the night feel more like an event and less like an ordinary meal.
4. Share Dishes for a Communal Feel
Ordering several dishes to share helps make the evening more interactive and lets everyone try something new. Think mixed platters, large pizzas, or a variety of sides and starters from different restaurants via Foodhub.
5. Order Ahead to Avoid the Wait
Want to eat at a certain time? Use Foodhub’s pre-order or early ordering options so food arrives when it’s supposed to—hot and fresh. Avoid hangry guests by being a little proactive with your planning.
6. Add Drinks and Desserts
No great night is complete without something sweet (or bubbly). Many takeaways offer desserts and drinks—check your local listings on Foodhub. Treat your guests to a full course without lifting a finger in the kitchen.
7. Skip the Dishes, Enjoy the Company
With no pots to scrub or pans to wash, you’ll have more time to actually enjoy the evening. That’s the beauty of a well-planned takeaway night—it lets you focus on food and fun, not logistics.
8. Support Local, Feel Good
Ordering through Foodhub often means supporting independent, local takeaways. You’re not just feeding your friends—you’re helping your community thrive. That’s something to feel great about.
