How to vote in Deliveroo's awards Customer votes will determine five Regional Restaurant of the Year winners. They will form the final shortlist for Independent Restaurant of the Year, which was won by Yeeros in Dublin last year, judged by an expert panel. This year Tilly Ramsay, daughter of top chef Gordon Ramsay, will judge Independent Restaurant of the Year and the Rising Star Award alongside Deliveroo’s CEO and founder Will Shu and food critic Jimi Famurewa. Will Shu said: “The Deliveroo Restaurant Awards is about championing the local restaurants who provide incredible selection and quality food in their communities. These restaurants are the beating heart of our towns and cities, and they obsess over making sure every food delivery is a special moment for our customers - that’s something worth celebrating." Takeaway fans can cast their vote for their top restaurant at deliveroorestaurantawards.com between April 14 and May 9. Customers who vote will be automatically entered into a draw to win £150 in Deliveroo credit. The winners of the Deliveroo 2025 Restaurant Awards will be announced via Deliverooo’s social channels on 28th May 2025.
