A year ago, hungryhouse.co.uk joined up with Action Against Hunger, a leading humanitarian charity, to help vulnerable people in their struggle against hunger and malnutrition. We have since donated 10p to Action Against Hunger for every order over £15 made through our website.
We'd like to thank everyone for playing their part by ordering through hungryhouse. The first year of the deal just ended and our director, Shane, got to realise a life-long ambition of presenting a great big cheque to charity!
A recent Sky News report shows that takeaway orders are on the increase, bucking the 'credit crunch' trend.
Featured in the story is one of our partner restaurants, Scoff, so why not sample their Modern British cuisine today from any of their 3 branches across London: Scoff Fulham, Scoff Kingston or Scoff Islington.
T3, the gadget website, recently published 25 of the best social networking sites and services you should check out before Christmas hits. And of course, hungryhouse.co.uk was one of them!
"Christmas is a time of being with your loved ones, of focusing all your attention on them and sharing good times.
But what if you can’t stand your family, and would much rather be chomping your turkey dinner down in front of the green-ish glow of your computer monitor, instead? Good thing we’ve highlighted 25 websites you should sign up to before Christmas, so you’ll have many networks of strangers to escape to when your aunties start arguing about how to make gravy."
On 20th November, coinciding with Universal Children's Day, Action Against Hunger, the charity supported by hungryhouse (and by you when ordering through our site), launched it's latest campaign called 'End Child Hunger'.
Join with us in asking Gordon Brown to take a leadership role in the fight against hunger. Ask him to allocate £100 million in new funding to treat children suffering from life-threatening child hunger in countries which have already been defined as being in high priority need of aid.
You can do this by signing the No 10 web petition (you will be redirected to the official site of the Prime Minister's office).
While you're at it, why not order a takeaway as well - we donate 10p to Action Against Hunger for every £15 you spend!
"Reminded me of my trip to the Carribean a few years ago. I haven't tasted food as good before or since until the first mouthful yesterday from Stoshus via Hungryhouse.com.
My little boy loved this meal and is as eager to explore the rest of the menu as I am.
Looking forward to my next order and feel good that i can put a little something to help support the Action Against Hunger fund. The idea that a little help from each order helps to support this fund is more encouraging to use this take away / delivery service...
This week, hungryhouse made it into the Up List (as opposed to Down List) in Grazia Magazine, alongside rum, jewelled knitwear and the super-stylish M.I.A.
Exclusive company indeed!
If you missed it...
Could it be possible??? We recently stumbled upon this article from 2003 on the BBC News website and thought we'd better make hungryhouse customers aware of this amazing breakthrough by Italian researchers!
---------------------------------
Italian researchers say eating pizza could protect against cancer.
Researchers claim eating pizza regularly reduced the risk of developing oesophageal cancer by 59%.
The risk of developing colon cancer also fell by 26% and mouth cancer by 34%, they claimed.
The secret could be lycopene, an antioxidant chemical in tomatoes, which is thought to offer some protection against cancer, and which gives the fruit its traditional red colour.
"Best pizza in town! The porcini option is especially delicious - don't get fresh wild mushrooms like that often! Really good tomato sauce. One day im going to get one of the half metre pizzas, roll it up like a swiss roll and eat in in one sitting. My boyfriend says he will pay for the pizza if i can do it. Watch this space."

It is meant to breathe life into money-spinning ideas and put fire into the belly of would-be entrepreneurs. But fledgling tycoons seen shaking hands with millionaires on BBC2’s reality TV show Dragons’ Den have revealed that much of the cash shown on screen is never handed over.
