instagram.com

"There’s a vegetarian and vegan place in Liverpool called Egg Café, where you can get a huge plate of delicious food for like, £7 at most. Their cheese on toast is to fucking die for, and their veggie moussaka and scouse (which is like, the dish of our city) are amazing too. Even for meat-eaters, it’s a must. I have a real love for that place." – clairew441010663

7. Maggy Mays, Belfast

Maggie Mays

"Open from early to late, BYOB. Serves everything from the classic Ulster Fry via burgers to curry, massive menu. Handily highlights perfect hangover cures. Also full array of milkshakes (including some boozy concoctions). Most dishes £7 and under, fill yourself to the gills including a drink for less than £8." – laureno4b9ae7106

It’s a taco with injera (Ethiopian/ Eritrean sourdough flatbread), and four varieties of fillings, including a two meat, a fish and a vegetarian option. They’re priced between £3-4.5, and they’re filled super generously. Two make a delicious and filling lunch, and they give you complimentary spiced tea while you wait for your food." – juliep46a82a70f

10. Yokoso, Northampton

instagram.com

"Easy to dismiss it as it’s so tiny, and as such their menu isn’t huge but they do amazing katsu curry and their sushi is excellent. You can get a really good hot meal for under a fiver." – alih26

11. Falafel, Manchester

instagram.com

"A falafel wrap, at Falafel on Manchester’s Curry Mile, is only £2.50. One of these is definitely enough for a meal, and it’s the best falafel I’ve ever tasted. Even better, Falafel is run by Palestinians, and according to a mate from Gaza, both the food and the decor are very authentic." – ratkins

12. Da Mount Gurkha, Liverpool

instagram.com

"Da Mount Gurkha in Waterloo, Liverpool. All meals just about under £10 and the most delicious fresh food imaginable. Wash it down with a pint of Nepalese beer and poppadoms and dips to start are on the house! Number one restaurant in Liverpool on Trip Advisor too!" – k4d979f18a

13. Thomas the Baker, various locations in Yorkshire

instagram.com

"In York there’s Thomas the Baker, which is just bloody beautiful food, and in any part of the UK Wetherspoons is never a bad idea if you’re after cheap food with a beer." – fionajubb

14. Selale, London

instagram.com

"Selale on Green Lanes, Harringay, London – delicious Turkish restaurant (one of many in the area but my personal favourite)! A lahmacun (which is the perfect healthy takeaway) is only £2.90 and comes filled with loads of salad and sauces. Eating in is super cheap too as the portions are enormous (so you can easily fill up on a shared starter and main between two) and the salad, bread, dips and after dinner tea are all free (plus a dessert sometimes if you're lucky.) And, even better, the manager and staff are seriously friendly." – Katie Hasler

15. Taste Buchanan, Glasgow

instagram.com

"Taste Buchanan in Glasgow, street food in a shopping centre food court, can get fish tacos and sweet potato fries and have loads of change from a tenner!" – kats42d81eb08

16. Alexandros, Carlisle

instagram.com

"They do amazing gyros, kind of kebabs in a flatbread. Lamb, chicken or halloumi and then sometimes some different specials. Their restaurant is amazing and a bit more pricey but definitely worth nipping into the deli for a takeaway gyros and a baklava for under a tenner." – jacquinal

17. Boojum, Belfast

Boojum

"Boojum in Belfast is incredible! It has cult status in Ireland, and the Game of Thrones cast are always there too. Massive burritos and a beer for under 10 quid!" – kerribeps

18. The Bay Tree, Ipswich

Baytree Pizza

"The Bay Tree on Ipswich market – for over a year it was number one on trip advisor and honestly the food speaks for itself!" –frany101

20. Wackers, York

Trip Advisor/ tripadvisor.co.nz

"York has Whackers: the world’s biggest fish and chip shop apparently and also is in Scarborough. They cook chips in beef fat but you can have veg oil chips instead. I can have a big chip dinner (big chip portions too), a cup of tea and a sweet for under a tenner. It’s where I always took my kids for a special meal out, feeding the whole family for under £20." – jennyb27

21. Marco's Cafè, Hebden Bridge

Marco's Pizza

"I’m holidaying in Hebden Bridge, where Marco’s Pizza has authentic Italian pizza. The margherita drizzled with garlic oil is just £5 and huge — a perfect meal for one after a long walk, or enough for two to share. Not worth buying a frozen one at that price!" – raec4

22. Crawshaws, Huddersfield

instagram.com

"Crawshaws in Huddersfield do a wide range of roasted baguettes in an array of flavours such as pulled pork, hunters chicken etc and you get the baguette, a drink and chips for £3, it's amazing, plus you can chose as many sauces from the wide range available to smother your food! Much better than subway and much better value. It's where most Greenhead College students go at lunch time to get fed." – Elena Bunbury

23. Eat a Pitta, Bristol

Eat a Pitta

"Amazing falafel, houmous and salad wrap or box for around £5!" –  samanthaf4c2010b04
