Take aways

Local Fish and chip shop provide delivery. Same with Pizza, Chinese, Indian meals. Just phone or log on to their App to order. No Just Eat, Deliveroo involved.

I never use Just Eat, Ubereats or Deliveroo. Apart from anything else I wouldn't fancy eating anything that has been in one of those filthy looking bags they use.

We use a local chinese takeaway, 'phone direct and collect.

We do that too, when we have Chinese takeaway.
F&C which is a rarer treat, is a lunchtime special -half the price and a smaller portion.

I have never used the food delivery services, but would like to know what Uber, Deliveroo and Just Eat charge.

Here in the sticks we're not well served by take-away places. There's nowhere within walking distance and the food delivery people don't come out this far (the food would be stone cold anyway by the time it got here). There's an Indian restaurant 4 miles away by car, then a Chinese, a chip shop and another Indian another 4 miles in the same direction. None of them serves good enough food to make the effort.

We would all like to cook from scratch but isn’t a take-away / delivery a godsend on a day when you can’t be bothered? I’m sure most of us have those days.

Ive Just come back from Lanzarote and the fish at the hotel buffet was delicious. Every night you could have salmon, sea bass, sea bream pan fried. Most of it fresh fish. I had it almost every night on a two week holiday and I had two fillets as it is too expensive now in UK and often disappointing when cooked.

What a disappointment. Our local chippy is 2 minutes down the street. On Wednesdays we often share a pensioners special - cod, chips and mushy peas for £6 great value and plenty for 2. We're so lucky.

Had a similar experience with Just Eat. They take your money and just vanish into the ether when you have a problem.
I can imagine how disappointed you were OP.

Some delivery companies leave a lot to be desired.
I think takeaways are a rip off, especially pizzas. I have been there when a pizza delivery calls. Upwards of £25 for a couple of luke warm pizzas which have been thrown around on the back of a moped for 20 minutes when she could have popped some good quality supermarket pizzas in the oven in less time and saved herself some money.

Exactly, if you want your food delivered lukewarm from an asylum seekers on a moped then use those services.
How hard is it to go to the fish and chip shop or pizza outlet.
In the case of pizza, shove a good supermarket one into the oven and hey presto!

Well, if you're blind like my daughter is you can't just 'go to the fish and chip shop or pizza outlet'. Count your blessings if you can. And what's wrong with someone earning a wage being a delivery driver?

We are lucky living near a city that has on offer all the worlds cuisine and the ability to get it delivered to our door. If a restaurant isn’t what we want we order a quick 20 minute delivery from Waitrose, Sainsbury etc.

The delivery people are always cheerful and pleasant we tip them 10% as is normal, which adds of course to the bill, but it is a service for which I’m happy to pay.

We usually use deliveroo.

I am a cook from scratch advocate, I won’t buy Indian or Chinese take away but I love good fish and chips and yes when you have come home from holiday or you have had a busy day it is a treat.

Our village chippy is literally at the bottom of our lane so we enjoy them piping hot.

I am now salivating and wanting to a fish supper!
