Online ordering for kebab shops in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon

Updated 13 November 2026. This page reads the Food Standards Agency register as it stood on 13 November 2026. It covers the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon council area, which includes Craigavon, Lurgan, Portadown and Armagh and names no business. For the area as a whole, see our Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon page.

In short: Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon has 17 premises with kebab or doner in the name on the FSA register, most in BT66 and BT62. An Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon kebab shop can run its own ordering page with Chefzi: £9 to £49 a month per location (ex VAT), 0% commission ever, first month free with no card.

The register lists 17 premises in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon with "kebab", "kebap", "kabab", "kabob", "doner", "shawarma" or "shawerma" in the business name, 17 of them registered as takeaways and 0 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in BT66 (8), BT62 (4), BT63 (1), BT25 (1). That is 3.4% of the area's 504 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 1.7% across the UK, so the word is more common here than in the UK as a whole.

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

What the FSA register shows for Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon kebab names

The method is a name-keyword count, not a census: we count premises whose registered name has one of the words, which misses kebab shops trading under other names and includes anything that merely uses the word. The scope is takeaway and sandwich shop plus restaurant, café and canteen premises, and nothing here names a business.

Of the 16 with a numeric rating, 7 (44%) are rated 5 and 1 (6%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is a lower share than the 59.9% of all rated takeaways in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon that hold a 5. A further 1 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

BT66 holds the most, 8 of the 17 (47%), 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.

Places in the council area include Craigavon, Lurgan, Portadown and Armagh, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon against the UK: the numbers

Using the ONS estimate of 223,044 residents, that works out at 0.76 kebab-named premises per 10,000 people, compared with 0.51 across the UK, so Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon sits above the national rate. By raw count, Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon is 59th of the 363 UK council areas for these names and 2nd of 11 in Northern Ireland.

Across the area 3.4% of takeaway and restaurant premises carry one of these words. In BT66 that rises to 9%, while in BT63 it is 2%.

Inspection dates tell a second story. Of the 17 premises on this list with an inspection date, 47% were inspected in the 12 months to 13 November 2026, against 43% of all takeaway and restaurant premises in the area; the median gap since the last inspection is 14 months against 14.

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 BT66 and BT62, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon fits the spread.
• Pause ordering when the kitchen is flat out, and mark an item out of stock when the meat runs out, so nobody orders what you cannot make.
• Build the kebab in one go. Make bread (pitta, naan, wrap or on chips) a required choice and sauces a pick-several choice, with a surcharge for extras. The ticket shows each choice on its own line, so the kitchen does not have to guess.
• 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 Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon: what to check

Northern Ireland has no late night refreshment licence. Instead a council can make a closing order for particular premises, stopping the supply of meals and refreshments between midnight and 5am where it is needed to prevent neighbours being unreasonably disturbed (article 5 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1985). Planning permission and food business registration still apply. The council's pages are here: Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon council (checked 13 November 2026). Ask the council whether a closing order covers your premises.

For the wider England and Wales rules, read our late night refreshment licence guide. You can set collection and delivery hours independently in Chefzi, which lets your online hours follow your licence conditions. Not legal advice.

A worked example for an Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon kebab shop

Treat this as an illustration, not a measurement for Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon. No published average order value exists for Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon kebab shops, so we assume £25, the default in our commission calculator, and a round 45 orders a week. Swap in your own figures.

Move 45 weekly orders (roughly 195 a month at £25, £4,875 of sales) from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link and the maths is this. On Just Eat's published partner rates (read 12 November 2026, details), 14% with your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT, you would pay £819 at 14% (£683 plus £137 VAT) or £1,755 at 30% (£1,462 plus £292 VAT).

On Chefzi those 195 orders cost no commission. The flat Plus plan, which includes card payments, is £22 a month (£19 billed annually) per location excluding VAT, however busy the month is. Payment-provider card fees are left out of both sides, and any orders that stay on Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats still pay their commission.

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.
