When you just can't be bothered to cook or after you've sunk a few pints, there are few things better than a good takeaway meal.
Fortunately we're blessed with choice here in Bristol when it comes to restaurants which rustle up delicious food to go, covering a wide range of different cuisines.
Fans of fish and chips are particularly well catered for with some of the finest chippies in the country found here, with six recently being named among the very best in the UK .
And those who prefer to opt for Indian takeout are also well and truly covered - as four fast food curry houses in Bristol are in the running to be crowed the best in the country.
