Charlie Watson, co-founder at the Oowee Diner said: "We're over the moon to be crowned Independent Restaurant of the Year for South England & Wales by Deliveroo!
“From the moment Verity and I fired up the grills with a mission to bring the next level fast food to Bristol, we knew we were onto something special.
“This award is for every towering burger, every loaded fry, and every gloriously messy bite our loyal customers have devoured.
“Thank you to Deliveroo and to everyone who's embraced the Oowee experience – we're committed to serving the very best fast food, that HITS DIFFERENT!"
The top eats were decided by 160,000 customer votes, and a judging panel formed by Deliveroo’s CEO and founder, Will Shu; food critic and journalist, Jimi Famurewa; and TV chef and personality, Tilly Ramsay.
