Truro takeaway restaurants helping to beat your lockdown hunger

At the very beginning of the Covid-19 crisis it was difficult to find anywhere to get a decent meal as everywhere locked down.

Fortunately more and more restaurants and takeaways have now found a way of providing food for ravenous families stuck at home.

Truro now has a fabulous selection to choose from - you could almost spend a month enjoying a different takeaway each night.

All of the below are practising social distancing so please ensure you abide by the guidelines if you are picking up your meal.

Let us know of any city centre eateries we may not have included.
