Are takeaways allowed to give it away?
Probably not, because you're not a licensed waste disposer. Also, why would they when there are companies who will pay the food shop for their old oil?

Officially no,
they have to have a signed form from their Nominated Waste Disposal contractor.Unofficially, they will probably be only too glad to give you a couple of litres.
Just make sure you don't get the drum/can with the 'trap grease',
the oily crap from the 'u'-bend. -
If it is only a couple of litres, I would suggest buying a 5L of fresh oil from a supermarket.
£4 for 5 litres:

You can pick up a 25 litre barrel of used oil.
Are you going to use to my your own biodiesel? You can run a non-HDI engine on 50% with no issues in the summer. Remember to filter it it well.

Where can I get a couple of litres of used cooking oil? Are takeaways allowed to give it away?
