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

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

In short: Newham has 62 FSA-registered premises with chicken, wings or peri-peri in the name, most in E6 and E15. A Newham 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 62 premises in Newham with "chicken", "wing", "wings", "peri-peri" or "piri-piri" in the business name, 52 of them registered as takeaways and 10 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in E6 (17), E15 (11), E13 (11), E12 (9). That is 5.9% of the area's 1,057 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.

Customers who search for chicken in Newham meet a crowded field. Your own ordering page gives them a direct route to your kitchen without a marketplace between you and the customer.

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

This is a name-keyword count, not a census. It only finds premises whose registered name includes one of those words, so it misses chicken shops and peri-peri restaurants with other names, and it counts anything with the word in it, whatever it sells. We look at takeaway and sandwich shop premises and at restaurant, café and canteen premises only, and we do not name any business.

Of the 60 with a numeric rating, 22 (37%) are rated 5 and 11 (18%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 35.4% of all rated takeaways in Newham that hold a 5. A further 2 are awaiting inspection, awaiting publication or exempt. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

The districts where they sit

E6 holds the most, 17 of the 62 (27%), and the premises sit across 7 postcode districts in all. Set a delivery zone for each district you serve with its own fee, minimum order and time, so the busy streets near E6 do not set the terms for everywhere else.

Newham in the wider picture

Newham has 410 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 647 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 26 of 363 UK council areas, and 5 of 33 in London. Across all rated takeaways in Newham, 35.4% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 15.7% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Newham is part of Greater London, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts.

Newham chicken and peri-peri names in numbers

Per 10,000 residents the count is 1.65, against 0.54 for the UK as a whole, which is above the national rate. The population used is the ONS estimate of 376,542 for the council area. By raw count, Newham is 6th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 4th of 33 in London.

Across the area 5.9% of takeaway and restaurant premises carry one of these words. In E12 that rises to 9%, while in E6 it is 7%.

On freshness, 71% of the 62 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 59% across all 1,057 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Newham. The median time since inspection is 9 months for this list and 10 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.

What this means for Newham kitchens

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in E6 and E15, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Newham fits the spread.
• Sell the family bundle as one item. A whole chicken with sides is easy to order from a phone when it is a single item, and the catering feature lets customers book bigger orders for a date and time.
• 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.
• Text your regulars with their permission (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro), so a quiet evening can be filled by one message.

Late-night hot food in Newham: 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. Newham's council publishes its process here: Newham 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. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code to every bag (QR kit).
4. With their permission, tell regulars about the page by SMS or email (how, Plus and Pro).

A worked example for a Newham chicken shop

These are assumed numbers, not Newham data: with no published average order value for Newham chicken shops and peri-peri restaurants, the example takes £25 (the commission calculator default) and 20 orders a week. Use your own.

Suppose 20 orders a week (about 87 a month, £25 each, £2,175 in sales) shift from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. Just Eat's published rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% with your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. At 14% those 87 orders cost £305 plus £61 VAT, £365 in all; at 30% they cost £652 plus £130 VAT, £783.

On Chefzi the same 87 orders carry 0% commission. You pay the flat plan: Plus, which adds card payments, is £22 a month (£19 billed annually) per location, excluding VAT, and it does not change if the month is busier. Card processing charges depend on your payment provider and are not modelled on either side. Orders customers still place through Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats keep paying those apps' commission; the example only covers the ones you move.

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.
