A new smartphone app for ordering food from local takeaways launched in Larne on Sunday, July 26. The platform, called Larne Eats, was created by local entrepreneur Andrew Creighton.

The app provides a modern ordering system for residents and will use each takeaway's own delivery drivers wherever possible. No business will appear on the app without its permission.

Larne Eats follows a series of similar platforms in other Northern Ireland towns. These include Carrick Eats, which launched in 2023, as well as Ballymena Eats, Causeway Eats, Newtownabbey Eats, Bangor Eats, and Newtownards Eats.

The initiative aims to work with local organisations, including Larne Football Club, Larne Recruitment Centre, Larne High School, and a range of community groups and charities.
