As many people get ready to prepare their Christmas dinners, others may opt to go for a takeaway instead.
There are many reasons a household may do this such as limited availability in their area for all the ingredients needed to make a feast, or because they simply fancy a change from the usual rush involved in making Christmas dinner. Nowadays, it's all too common to order food for delivery via a food ordering app such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo, or Just Eat.
However, Christmas is understandably a day when many services are either not operating or run a limited service, and takeaways are no exception. Because of this, you may find yourself left without any food if you don't check availabilities in advance.
