These are precisely SWMBO's thoughts. We used to have a take away a week (usually delivered), now since March 12th (when my workplace sent us home) we have just had one.

The takeaway follows strict hygiene guidelines already, so the risk is either something on the packaging or the delivery person having the virus.
For the former, All food is taken out of the packaging and put on plates, hands washed after that before eating. For the latter, it's all done at arms' length and takes less than the 15 minutes some countries advise is the amount of time it would take to have a good chance to get it from someone infected with it.

Sod pizzas. Been ordering takeaway cocktails recently - just for a treat. Support local biz etc. Thought it was enterprising:
Dial in.

Prep receptacles:
Knock on door at appointed time. On doorstep is:
Unpacked, all laid out, ices n slices too.
Assembled round 1. Tom Collins. B Mary and some mocktail.
Adjourn to lounge and Zoom up some friends who have done exact same:
Couple of Mary's down, move on to the Rum Old Fashioned.
Hit home stock of Woodford Reserve with smokey coke after. Felt rough next day, and that is why I have had a dry week.
But takeaways- what's not to like!

Takeaways are pretty unusual for us. Probably went several years without any when kids were small. As the kids got older we might order from local Indan about twice a year. Maybe the teenagers might get a Pizza delivered if they have several friends around.
Meals out however were common, several a month typically, mix of socialising with friends, family birthdays and 'sod it, we cant be bothered to cook' moments. Lockdown os saving quite a lot in that department. No fuel costs either.
I have noticed that more and more local takeaways are restarting services in some way or another. Friend of mine, just a bit to far away, is getting splendid meals from her local village pub every other week. No-one in my town doing quite that. The terrible quality Chinese takeaway at the end of my street started up 2 days ago. I passed 4 people queuing to pick up orders as I nipped out to the corner shop for some veg tonight.
Funny this thread came up - my company just sent out an email tonight for all of us working from home. We are invited to buy a takeaway and expense it, up to $70 (£56). Woop. Nice - and it is my birthday this time next week and we were planning an Indian takeaway as a treat anyway. Now it is gifted! Knowing our local site accountant he will be paying that through partly gritted teeth!

almost certainly yes. That's quite near me, i m in Pudsey near the thornbury barracks. Next time I'm out on my bike I'll swing by and check. I do know Sheezaans near there, on Galloway lane, is doing takeaway and they're excellent.
So you would hope, but most are awful. Sheezaans near me is good, eat in and byob. I'm not messing with takeaway when I have that.
I get this, my solution is to cook in advance and fridge it. Come in, Tupperware out of the fridge and in the kitchen TV, frozen veg in boiling water for 5 min, dinner is served. Easier than phoning up. This is a regular event when I'm away all week and walking in at 7 or 8 on a Friday after God knows how long on the A1 or M1.
