Delicious

Delicious lives up to its name with a crowd-pleasing mix of homemade fast food in central Workington, cooked fresh to order rather than sitting under a heat lamp. The menu is broader than most, spanning hand-stretched pizzas, kebabs, burgers and even a run of Mexican-inspired dishes, which makes it a good pick when a group can't agree on one cuisine. It's a compact, independent operation that leans on freshness and friendly service, and it currently holds a 3.7/5 rating from diners on Tripadvisor.

Regulars tend to single out the made-to-order pizzas and the generous kebabs, and the kitchen's willingness to mix things up, with Tex-Mex one night and a classic takeaway the next, gives it a bit of personality among the town's many options. Portions are fair and the food arrives freshly cooked, whether you collect or order in. If you're after a versatile, independent takeaway in the heart of west Cumbria that covers plenty of bases, Delicious is well worth a try.
