There are usually sheep in the adjacent field and sometimes cattle if we walk in the other direction, if we happen to have a qualified butcher visiting. Also rabbits, squirrels, pigeons if we have a guest with a shotgun.

Oh and a couple of bakeries
one does amazing Portuguese tarts

EfficientlyDecluttering · 06/10/2023 07:13

Chinese, Indian, Pizza, fish and chips. The nearest McDs, BK or KFC are all 10+ miles away though and we don't have just eat, deliveroo or similar.

BigDahliaFan · 06/10/2023 07:17

Walking home from pub I pass

not bad chippy
v ordinary Indian takeaway
very good Indian restaurant rhat doesn’t always do take out
slightly better Chinese takeaway
ok kebab shop
ok pizza place

fairly standard selection.I’m in awe when visiting friends in cities of the range and quality of take out and street food.

RampantIvy · 06/10/2023 07:21

A cold curry. It would be cold after a half hour walk back. Next nearest are Chinese, more curry or pizza two miles away. I still prefer living somewhere quiet though. Not having loads of takeaways on my doorstep is a small price to pay.

London so loads of options. At least (I have probably missed some):

Thai
Korean
Pizza
Burger
Mexican
Turkish
Lebanese
Sushi
Fish & chips
Carribbean
Indian
Italian

On my own, I tend to go for sushi, with DH tend to go Lebanese or Thai

renata2485 · 06/10/2023 07:23

Spoilt for choice 3 mins walk away: Chinese (which I've never used), two Indians, a fish and chip / kebab shop, three Italian restaurants which all do takeaway pizza and a Greek place.
More choice - McDonalds, Piri Piri, fried chicken etc - if you are willing to walk a bit further. Viva London and its diversity!

TroysMammy · 06/10/2023 07:24

I live on an estate and just under five minutes walk I have a chip shop, pizza, Indian take away with a small restaurant, a chain pub selling food and a shitty, grubby mini supermarket where the owner occasionally gets fined for out of date food. I only go there because of the Post Office inside and I'm glad I don't have to lick the stamps.

CrushingOnRubies · 06/10/2023 07:25

There's a dodgy chippy up the road

We are walk a 20 / 30 minute walk into a city centre with decent takeaways. But it would be a bit cold by the time we got back home

There's a lush pizza place about 30 minute walk in the other direction but again it would be cold by the time we were home

megletthesecond · 06/10/2023 07:27

We have all of them within walking distance (15 mins, large town centre) and only get fish and chips once a month.

Choconuttolata · 06/10/2023 07:31

Nearest is a chippy/kebab shop, but I only eat the chips from there. Also an Indian, but it is not a good one. Pub food.

Slightly further walking distance away there are more pubs with decent food, a better Indian, Chinese, Greek, Syrian/Lebanese and Domino's.

On delivery I can also get McDonald's and burger/chicken shop type options, Thai, good quality Turkish food and Japanese.

Gingerkittykat · 06/10/2023 07:48

Two minutes from my house there is a bakery, horrible chippy and Chinese.

The bakers is only open during the day and does a limited range of filled rolls.

My choice would be the Chinese.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 06/10/2023 07:50

Around the corner is a kebab/pizza place which is nice big mega expensive. Or an Indian takeaway.
about 15 minutes walk away we have a shopping precinct that has a Chinese, several pizza place, Middle Eastern, Italian, and a dessert place.

PurBal · 06/10/2023 07:53

Define “by foot”? I could walk there no problem but it would be cold by the time I got home. It’s only about 2 miles. No delivery here either.

Oo there’s a pizza van that’s (supposed to be) in the village once a week but it’s unreliable and you have to join a WhatsApp group to know when it’s around and pre order a couple of days in advance. And then it’s margarita or a choice of two specials.

TabithaTiger · 06/10/2023 07:54

Fish and chips
Chicken shop
Pizza
Kebab
Indian
McDonalds
Chinese
Subway

I could walk to them all in 5 minutes, but I don't use any of them. The only takeaway I really enjoy is Indian, but not the one nearest to me.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 06/10/2023 07:58

Chinese and chippy

Howmanysleepsnow · 06/10/2023 07:58

McDonald’s
kfc
(bad) pizza
chippy
thai
2 chineses
souvlaki
kebab
japanese
subway
waffles/ pancakes/ shakes

also Mexican, but it’d be cold by the time I walked home. The others are within 10 minutes.

id go for the Japanese

Marsyas · 06/10/2023 08:00

Less than Five minutes
Pizza
Grill/ Turkish/ Burgers etc
Chinese
Indian
Kebab
Chicken

The only really nice one is the Chinese, the Indian is OK, the others I would never use.
Then the town centre is 5 to 10 minutes away and that has everything- McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, German kebab, Japanese, Thai etc.
What we don’t have weirdly is a fish and chip shop in walking distance.

marketing101 · 06/10/2023 08:02

Live in London so have hundreds of restaurants round the corner...

Citygirlrurallife · 06/10/2023 08:02

God I miss living in London! I’d have to walk an hour down unlit country roads to my nearest takeaway and nothing delivers to me

Goldenboysmum · 06/10/2023 10:13

5 minute walk, either Chinese or Indian

IHeartGeneHunt · 06/10/2023 10:24

Walking distance I've got chip shop, Jamaican, three pizza places, four if you count Domino's (I don't, it's shit) three Chinese, two Indian, two kebab.
I like the chip shop and one Chinese out of that!
