After the indulgent revelries of the festive period it’s natural that people should want to find some healthier ways of living, for a month at least! This is one of the reasons as to why dry January and Veganuary exist; a chance for people not only to live healthier, but for them to try something new.
The notion of a healthy takeaway might seem a little contradictory, but all over Hull and East Yorkshire, a number of establishments and eateries are starting to cater their takeaway food towards healthier, more nutritional food, which still retains that element of taste and mischief which comes with having ordered a takeaway.
With this in mind, here are a handful of places in the local area which offer healthier, yet delicious takeaway food!
