ONE week down, three to go, which means our usual weekends out with family and friends remains on hold until at least December 2.

There is no better time therefore than to enjoy the best of our town's takeaways, and while many bars and restaurants are adapting to offer this service during lockdown, for many other businesses it is their sole means of trading.

Here is a list of five of the most popular and highest rated takeaways in Northwich according to Tripadvisor:
