Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 192 takeaway premises with a published rating, 59.9% hold a 5 and 5.7% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is close to the 60.4% average for Northern Ireland.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 88 (45%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. A 5 is not the default here, so a kitchen that holds one can say so on its own ordering page. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

Counts are premises, takeaway plus restaurant and café, whose registered trading name contains the word. A name without the word is not counted, so treat them as a floor.

Reading trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon stands out for kebab or doner: 17 premises, 3.4% of the 504 on the register, against 1.7% across the UK. 8 of the 17 are in BT66, a district with 48 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 16 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 44% hold a 5, against 59.9% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon. A kebab shop here shares its streets with more lookalikes than the national average would predict, so a direct ordering page and a clear link on your Google Business Profile do more work. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 6 of 504 (1.2%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon: the council's own page

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.

Our late night refreshment licence guide covers England and Wales; the rules in Northern Ireland are different. Chefzi lets you set collection and delivery hours separately, so ordering hours can follow whatever your licence conditions say. This is general information, not legal advice.
