The argument for a takeaway (from Sweet Mandarin of course :0)

As T.S. Eliot wrote, “April is the crullest month”. Very true, I thought as I shook my head like a wet dog- its rainy every month! It feels particularly cruel in Manchester because we get lashings and lashings of rain, and another bucket or so for good measure. If you are as unfortunate as I have been these last evenings, I’ve become caught in the rain, drenched and shrivelled like a prune to serve my customers their takeaways.
I was chatting to my friends who are also my customers (its funny how customers become friends after a while) and getting their feedback on Sweet Mandarin’s takeaway offering – always listening and trying to improve our service.
My friend Julia said many nights, she had gone home hungry – craving good Sweet Mandarin food – she remembered our wholesome Chinese food with a steaming bowl of rice after a corporate night out with her firm. She said “No where else does what you do – offer simple but delicious food at reasonable prices.” That’s true. Most restaurants will charge you restaurant prices for takeaway. What we offer is takeaway at takeaway prices with restaurant quality. We’ve also chosen our containers with thought, to ensure it comes to your door piping hot. We consider takeaway to be one of our core businesses and we value customers at home, as if they were sitting at Sweet Mandarin. We’ll even accompany the dinner with our choicest wines, so you can have the Sweet Mandarin experience in the comfort of your own home.
You can’t beat a takeaway – here are Julia’s top ten reasons:
1. I am home alone
2. Its raining/cold/late
3. Just in time for Eastenders
4. I just want to eat some decent Chinese food – no one else does Lily’s curry or Mabel’s claypot and the more I think about their food, the more hungry I get.
5. The fridge is bare apart from some mouldy cheese and stale bread – even a mouse would decline that offer!
6. I don’t want to cook, and even if I did, I have no food. Can’t cook won’t cook.
7. Its cheaper to get Sweet Mandarin take-out, than to buy all the ingredients and try to cook it yourself.
8. When I cook it tastes funny- I’ll leave it to the experts at Sweet Mandarin.
9. Takeout is great for a romatic night in, especially accompanied by the fine selection of wine Sweet Mandarin has (hehehe, I’m not alone, so you can ignore point 1 tonight :0))
10. Sweet Mandarin takeaway is the best…because the staff are friendly, the food is superb and the price is right.
