Edinburgh loves a takeaway - particularly on a Saturday evening according to a new study.

Deliveroo, the on-demand food delivery service celebrating its fourth birthday in Edinburgh, have revealed what the good folk of the Capital like to have delivered, where they prefer to get it from and at what time they place their order.

New data from Deliveroo reveals Saturday at 7:31pm is the most popular time for Edinburgh locals to order Deliveroo. Further data has shown locals love Japanese food the most, followed by American and Thai.
