A TAKE AWAY is the same as TAKE OUT MEAL - it is food that is ordered from a restaurant or over the phone and eaten off the premises.
Regarding RIGHT THROUGH, could you give a little more context please?

"fish and chips" - yes! Or perhaps a take-away pizza.

Right Through means from beginning to the very end. I don't know of a meaning to do with take away food.  |
