Munchies – JustEat Awards 2022 Britain’s Best Takeaway Winner
06 Mar 23
Munchies first opened its doors in 2017 in Darnall, Sheffield. 5 ½ years and 3 stores later, it has become an immensely popular spot for burgers and fries, so much so that it has been crowned Best Takeaway in Yorkshire and Britain’s Best Takeaway 2022!
Back when Munchies was first established they had in place a single Middleby Marshall pizza oven, but fast forward to 2023 and you can now see Pitco fryers and MagiKitch’n grills & griddles in every store.
Munchies’ owner, Shafkat Khan Mohammas, told us “I visited the Wigan Innovation Kitchen 3 years ago, and as soon as I saw the equipment I knew I had to have it. Not only did I build a connection with Nazim [sweetheat] and Jack [Middleby UK] but I also built a connection with the equipment itself. Once you have tried Middleby products you can trust Middleby products.”
When asked why he chose Middleby brands over others available, Shafkat had this to say; “The grills we were using before were very sub-par. When we were introduced to the MagiKitch’n griddle we assumed it was out of our budget and out of our league, however when we tried it out in the innovation kitchen we knew that this was the best equipment to help us provide the best food to our customers.”
“Standards are so high in the foodservice industry at the moment and getting the food right is key, so getting the right equipment is a no-brainer if you want to stand out in the industry.”
The MagiKitch’n griddles which Munchies use to produce their award-winning burgers “are incredible, and produce such fantastic quality burgers” says Shafkat. “If we had have known about the MagiKitch’n chrome griddle earlier, I truly believe that we would be even further along in our journey, because it really was an outstanding discovery and changed everything for us.”
“To win the JustEat award for Britain’s Best Takeaway is an incredible achievement as it is voted for by the general public; clearly they can recognise the quality of the food, and that quality comes from the equipment. We simply wouldn’t be able to provide the quality that we provide without Middleby equipment.”
The Munchies team hope to open a store in every major city in the UK, and their long-term goal is to have at least one international store; watch this space!
