Photographs by Julian Gill

Everyone has a favourite takeaway… that comforting go-to meal after a long day or for a weekend treat. We often forget that behind those delicious dishes are family-run institutions, lovingly passed down through generations. These businesses carry more than just food; they carry stories, tradition, and heritage. It’s more than convenience; its culture served in a paper bag or takeaway box. Local photographer Julian Gill (aka DidEyeShutter) went to capture the people and the families behind a few of the city’s tasty takeaways.
