Online ordering for chicken shops and peri-peri restaurants in Hull

Updated 13 November 2026. This page reads the Food Standards Agency register as it stood on 13 November 2026. It covers the Hull council area and names no business. For the area as a whole, see our Hull page.

In short: Hull has 21 FSA-registered premises with chicken, wings or peri-peri in the name, most in HU3 and HU5. A Hull chicken shop can take direct orders on its own Chefzi page: plans run from £9 to £49 a month per location (ex VAT), commission is 0% ever, and the first month is free with no card.

The register lists 21 premises in Hull with "chicken", "wing", "wings", "peri-peri" or "piri-piri" in the business name, 18 of them registered as takeaways and 3 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in HU3 (6), HU5 (6), HU1 (3), HU6 (2). That is 2.6% of the area's 794 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 1.8% across the UK, so the word is more common here than in the UK as a whole.

That makes Hull a place where a direct ordering page earns its keep: the same few streets hold a lot of chicken-named premises, so being easy to find and easy to order from is the whole game.

What the FSA register shows for Hull chicken and peri-peri names

Read this as a name-keyword count, not a census. A premises is counted only if its registered name contains one of the words, so chicken shops and peri-peri restaurants with other names are missed and any place using the word for something else is included. Only takeaway, sandwich shop, restaurant, café and canteen premises are counted, and no business is named.

Of the 16 with a numeric rating, 12 (75%) are rated 5 and 1 (6%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 70.9% of all rated takeaways in Hull that hold a 5. A further 5 are awaiting inspection, awaiting publication or exempt. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

Where they cluster

HU3 holds the most, 6 of the 21 (29%), and the premises sit across 7 postcode districts in all. A zone per district lets you charge a small fee for the close streets and a higher minimum for the outer ones, in Chefzi's delivery zones.

Hull in the wider picture

Hull has 361 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 433 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 31 of 363 UK council areas, and 7 of 16 in Yorkshire and the Humber. Across all rated takeaways in Hull, 70.9% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 8.1% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Places in the council area include Kingston upon Hull, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

Hull chicken and peri-peri names in numbers

Set against population, Hull has 0.77 chicken and peri-peri-named premises for every 10,000 residents, above the UK figure of 0.54 (ONS mid-2025 population estimate for the area: 273,257). On the register, only 51 council areas have more of these names than Hull; within Yorkshire and the Humber it ranks 5th of 16.

The word is most concentrated in HU3, where 5% of the district's food premises carry it, and thinnest in HU1 at 2%. Across the whole area the share is 2.6%.

On freshness, 38% of the 21 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 35% across all 794 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Hull. The median time since inspection is 16 months for this list and 16 for the whole area.

Population figures are ONS mid-2025 estimates; every other figure comes from the same FSA register pull as the tables above. Small samples move a lot from one inspection to the next, so read the shares as a guide to where the pattern is, not as a verdict on any business.

How a direct ordering page helps here

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in HU3 and HU5, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Hull fits the spread.
• Put your link where customers already look. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code on every bag (QR kit).
• Separate collection and delivery hours. Stop delivery when your last driver finishes and keep collection open at the counter, or the other way round.
• Pause ordering when the kitchen is flat out, and mark an item out of stock when it runs out, so nobody orders what you cannot make.
• Portion and heat as required choices. Quarter, half or whole chicken can be a required choice, with mild, medium or hot as a second, and sides (chips, rice, coleslaw) as a pick-several choice with surcharges. The ticket shows each choice on its own line.

Late-night hot food in Hull: what to check

If you sell hot food or drink after 11pm and before 5am, the Licensing Act 2003 treats it as late night refreshment, so you normally need the council's licence. Hull's council publishes its process here: Hull council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

The general rules for England and Wales are in our late night refreshment licence guide. Chefzi lets you set collection and delivery hours separately, so your ordering hours can follow whatever your licence conditions say. This is general information, not legal advice.

How to start

1. Send us your menu on a short call. We build it into Chefzi with you, and you should be live in 24 to 48 hours.
2. Set required choices for the way your customers order, and set your delivery zones by postcode district or radius.
3. Point your Google Business Profile at the page (how) and tuck a QR code into every order (QR kit).
4. Text your regulars (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro) with their permission.

A worked example for a Hull chicken shop

Treat this as an illustration, not a measurement for Hull. No published average order value exists for Hull chicken shops and peri-peri restaurants, so we assume £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 30 orders a week. Swap in your own figures.

Say 30 orders a week, about 130 a month, move from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. At £25 each that is £3,250 of sales a month. Just Eat's published partner rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% when you use your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. On those 130 orders that is £455 plus £91 VAT, £546 in all, at 14%, or £975 plus £195 VAT, £1,170, at 30%.

With Chefzi the 130 orders carry 0% commission and the bill stays at the flat plan price: £22 a month on Plus (£19 billed annually), per location, excluding VAT. We have not modelled card processing fees on either side, and the example ignores orders that remain on the marketplaces.

What Chefzi does not do

• It does not set up delivery for you: you run your own drivers, and Chefzi has no courier integrations.
• It has no kiosk and no CRM.
• A pre-order lead time is set for the whole location, not for one dish.
• Orders placed on Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats still pay those apps' commission. Chefzi helps you move regular customers to your own site.
