Are people still ordering takeaway?

[HandonHeart2019]

Just wondering how many of you are still ordering takeaways? DP really fancies a pizza tonight but I'm a bit weary of ordering just in case.

Am I worrying over nothing? Sorry, I know it's a first world problem.

Yes. It's fine.

Wary. Sorry there was a thread on it.
Weary - tired
Wary - suspicious and uncertain

@MsTSwift there's no need to be a dickwad, it's clear what the OP meant.

Plenty of places still open but I would imagine takeaways is one of the first things cut to save money whilst lots of people are on a reduced wage

No we havent ,i doubt its 100% safe just now ,my DH is a chef and he wont eat a take away just now

Safety wise you’re fine - advice here www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-52040138

Jeez swift that was bitchy in the extreme.

We have had 2 takeaways since the lockdown. Not everyone is still open , though, so we've had to go with a couple of places we've never used. The first one did not pay off lol.

They should leave it by your door and then step back to maintain social distance.

@MsTSwift there's no need to be a dickwad, it's clear what the OP meant.

Seconded! Back in your cage!

OP, yes, takeaways are fine but take precautions. Pay online, most takeaways are now leaving the food at the door, take food out of packaging, heat up in oven if needbe, and then wash your hands before eating.

Oh and most of all, enjoy!

Totally fine op, a lot of them are offering contactless delivery etc and it's supporting local business which is important at the moment.

Fish and chips tonight here! Contactless delivery on the doorstep.

No. I’m feeling a bit paranoid about the risk of the person making it had it.

In London it mostly seems to be the more "dodgy" pizza/chicken/kebab places that are still open and delivering on uber/deliveroo.

I haven't yet but think I will. It's a good way to support local restaurants who are struggling.

@MsTSwift

Aw, come on. Can we dispense with the snarky spelling and grammar advice while there's an effing world catastrophe unfolding? Bloody hell fire.

Yes I had one a couple of days ago

I did for my birthday but won't in future as it was 2hrs late, not really their fault as they are one of only 3 takeaways open in my town during this time. Minimal risk but a risk all the same.

Still ordering take away... keeping those businesses with a cash flow is a good thing I think

Yep, it's a once a week treat for us. Gotta have something to look forward to and I'm sick of bloody cooking!

Thank you all! Just to say you have made me DP's day Pizza for tea tonight then!

Wary. Yes I’d be wary. There’s no way I would buy a takeaway at the moment but then I’m very paranoid about food others prepare anyway. It’s probably fine and I know I’m overly cautious. I just couldn’t enjoy it. I’m lucky that I’m a very good pizza maker myself.

I had the craziest craving for pizza at 4am this morning. I don't normally eat pizza at all but I went online as 12noon exactly as soon as the local takeaway opened and ordered one. And oh my goodness...the best food ever!!! They left it on my door step and stepped way back into the road whilst I opened the door. All fine! Enjoy it, OP!

Ewww hell no, there is a time for takeaways and it’s not when there is a pandemic of a virus that can spread buy a single droplet

We had fish and chips last friday and will probably have a dominos tomorrow. You pay online and they leave the food on the doorstep.

Our village has a fantastic fish and chip which is delivering. Same bloke who always delivers. Just now in gloves. Rings bell backs off and leaves your food for you to take in. Then you put the money on the doorstep for him. (he did suggest posting the chips through the letterbox one at a time for us nice to share a laugh about it tbh)
