I mean, growth rate tells you nothing of the total percent of orders.

Right. I looked for that info. Maybe I'll look again. Watch this space.

OK, found the British Takeaway Campaign 2017 report, https://jeweb-11431-s3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/applicatio... - It's a pretty detailed and interesting report, but for everything in there it doesn't provide this data point. Overall, it does mention: Spending on takeaway grew to £9.9 billion in 2016, up more than a third (34%) since 2009 (£7.4 billion).

Still looking for the rankings / market share... OK, here's that, from the Mirror of all places, but referencing a 2017 report by Paymentsense, which tracks payments.

The top 10 takeaways:

  Chinese - 35 per cent
  Indian - 24 per cent
  Pizza - 13 per cent
  Fish and Chips - 7 per cent
  English - 4 per cent
  Italian - 4 per cent
  Burgers - 3 per cent
  Thai - 2 per cent
  Mexican - 1 per cent
  Turkish - 1 per cent

What is English takeaway? Savoury pies?

It was just a bit of a play on the comment.
