 ===== Take-away Food in West Bridgford =====
+The problem I have with take away food in West Bridgford is not just with quality, it's mainly quite good, and unlike the restaurants, never awful but the price. I lived briefly in the states and the price from
+takeaways was gob smacking to a Brit. Meals for a dollar 99c in some cases. The point was with high turnover
+and low overheads it was cheaper to buy takeways than fresh food. Now I'm not advocating Taco Bell in
+Bridgford (though if replace McDonalds I would cheer) but how can it be that a meal from a takeway is as
+dear as in many Restaurants and more expensive than those in Pubs? This stuff is unlikely to anything other
+than boil in bag stuff from major catering suppliers.
+The quality of some popular microwaveable dishes available from Iceland particularly is now as good as that
+from the takeways.
+==== Do it yourself takeaways in West Bridgford ====
+By far the best takeaway option in Bridgford at present is I think [[http://www.cookfood.net/shops/west-bridgford|Cook]]. An excellent range of quality frozen meals at reasonable prices. I do think they
+have there opening hours wrong though. I'm sure they know their own business best but I would have thought
+that they need to target those returning from work between 5pm and 8pm who are thinking CBA in regard of
+dinner. There is nothing else quite like it so they get a category on their own.

 ==== Fish & Chips in West Bridgford ====
 Chip shops these days vary in quality from not only with changes of management but also from hour to hour as

 fast and continuous for several hours. The quality was always the same from day to day and year to year. But
 your not going to go all that way for fish and chips from West Bridgford. George's serves skinless fish and can be excellant but sometimes is not. The cooking temperatures in vegetable oil are I think too low so the

+I haven't tried Pranzo's and I am confused as to what it wants to be. "Italian Food to Go"? "Why not have a
