With restaurants closed to diners due to restrictions, more people are turning to takeaways as an alternative.

There are dozens of takeaways in Blackburn, but what are your top 8, according to JustEat.

The top spot on the fast food website has gone to Eggfree Cake Box, gaining an outstanding average 5.97 out of 6 stars from 10 reviews.

The dessert and cake restaurant is located on Victoria Street and offers treats to those with more of a sweet tooth.

On October 18, 2020, one reviewer commented: "The best cake in Blackburn. Didn't have the cake I ordered changed it to something else with an extra cake thank you very much. We've ordered quite a few times and never been disappointed."

Other review which was left on August 31, 2020, read: "Fresh, on time, and they even sent a free Cake Box mug with the order."

The second highest recommendation came for Stanley House Hotel and Spa in Mellor, with an impressive average of 5.77 stars out of six.

They are offering anything from fish and chips, to pizza to a Sunday roast.

On January 6, 2021, one reviewer said: "Food delivered on time by well presented polite young man. All came piping hot. The chicken wings were lovely. Lamb croquettes also lovely but maybe a bit expensive for what you got. The chicken burger and fries also both really tasty and fresh. The biscoff cheesecake in my opinion was missing some biscoff sauce to finish it off. The biscuit bottom base was topped with a cheesecake filling which didn’t necessarily taste like biscoff and I just think with either a layer of biscoff sauce or some on top would of made it 10/10. I would deffo order from here again."

On the same day, another review was left saying: "It was a little late but not much. Outstanding was the extremely smart delivery man. The whole experience was good."

In third on Just East is Tewwstep, with an average rating of 5.7 stars out of 6 from a huge 221 reviews.

The pizza and kebab shop on Albert Street has received high praise from many calling it the best takeaway in the town.

One review left on January 10 says: "10/10 every time. My favourite takeaway ever since they opened, can’t speak highly enough of them. The best food in Blackburn and lovely owners & staff. Highly recommend to everyone!"

And a second left the previous day comments: "The food was unreal. Tasted amazing. So fresh. Will definitely be ordering again."

Next on the list was A J K Fish & Chips which has a star rating of 5.67 out of 6 from 432 reviews.

The takeaway, on Johnston Street, offers burgers and fish and chips.

On January 4, 2021, a reviewer said: "The food was great as usual but when checking delivery on the map, the delivery driver took a large detour and ended up in lower Darwen causing food to start getting cold. Still great take away."

A second review, left on January 2, states: "As usual top fish and chips peas and gravy. Order each item individually and it will definitely feed three!"

Another good pick is Afrikana Kitchen Blackburn which has an average of 5.53 stars out of six from 48 reviews on the fast food ordering system.

The takeaway at Roe Lee Retail Centre offers wraps, salads and chicken - all with witty menu names.

While a review left the previous day (January 10) said: "We love this restaurant! Become a guilty pleasure as we work our way through different things. Second time the food tasted a little different but we did order later at night so may have been why. Ordered tonight for the third time and it was faultless. One of the only places we’ll order from now."
