According to the research, sushi is the preferred takeaway choice for women, while fish and chips remains the favoured option for men.

Nationally though, the classic English take-out of fish and chips slipped from the nation's favourite takeaway to third - overtaken by Chinese and Indian.

Ben Hardings, 26, a sales assistant from Portsmouth, Hants, said: 'After working a late shift it take a lot of effort to prepare a meal when I get home.

'It is so much easier to pick up the phone and order an Indian or a kebab, and they taste really good too.

'I probably can't boast the healthiest of diets and I do spend a lot of money on takeaways, but it's quite a difficult habit to kick.'

Duncan Jennings, co-founder of vouchercodes.co.uk, said: 'Takeaways are now a part of everyday life for busy consumers.

'Britain has always been a nation of food lovers and especially as we have nearly every type of cuisine available on the go throughout Britain.

'But, eating on the move no longer needs to be an unhealthy or expensive option.'
