Danolla’s Diner and Takeaway in Castlebar has been named Best Fish and Chips in Ireland at the Irish Takeaway Awards 2026.
The Irish Takeaway Awards are widely recognised within the hospitality industry as a credibility-led, independently judged awards programme, with winners determined through anonymous mystery diner assessments rather than public voting or popularity campaigns.
Businesses are judged under real trading conditions, with a focus on food quality, consistency, technical execution, and overall standards.
This is the latest accolade for the Castlebar restaurant and takeaway. Danolla’s previous captured gold awards for ‘Best Fresh Chicken Fillet’ and ‘Best in Connacht’ and bronze at national level for their fish and chips.
“A massive thank you to our entire team and our amazing customers for backing us on the journey,” said business owner Patjoe O’Connell.
