Basingstoke and Deane's food register in numbers
The Food Standards Agency register has 1,324 food businesses of every kind in Basingstoke and Deane: 69 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 232 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The South East has 64 councils on the FSA list, and Basingstoke and Deane sits 42nd of them for takeaway premises.
Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (232 against 69), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.
Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 194,037, Basingstoke and Deane has 3.6 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 6.4 in the South East. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.
Hygiene results for takeaways
| Rating | Takeaways in Basingstoke and Deane | England average |
|---|---|---|
| Rated 5 | 72.1% | 62% |
| Rated 4 | 13.2% | 19.1% |
| Rated 3 | 10.3% | – |
| Rated 0 to 2 | 4.4% | 5.8% |
Of 68 takeaway premises with a published rating, 72.1% hold a 5 and 4.4% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+10.1 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Basingstoke and Deane is above its region.
No takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection, and 39 (57%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. With so many 5s, a 4 or below stands out to a customer scrolling through options, so show your rating and fix anything that holds it down. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.
Which kitchens are in Basingstoke and Deane
Looking at trading names, Basingstoke and Deane has 3 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 12 pizza, 10 Indian-style, 10 Chinese-style. This is a rough guide, not a cuisine census.
| Trading name contains | Premises | Chefzi page |
|---|---|---|
| pizza | 12 | Pizza |
| Indian-style (Indian, tandoori, curry, balti, masala, biryani, tikka) | 10 | Indian restaurants |
| Chinese-style (Chinese, wok, noodle, Canton, Szechuan) | 10 | Chinese 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.
On the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, Indian or curry names are the most distinctive cuisine word in Basingstoke and Deane: 10 of the 301 food premises (3.3%), against 2.2% across the UK, about 1.5 times the national rate. 3 of the 10 are in RG22, a district with 16 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 72.1% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Basingstoke and Deane. For an Indian restaurant in Basingstoke and Deane, that means more near-identical names on the same delivery apps, which makes a page of your own, linked from your Google listing, worth more. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 301 (0.7%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.
Where Basingstoke and Deane's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

73% of Basingstoke and Deane's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 1.4 miles, so a kitchen can usually cover its patch with one postcode-based zone; a short collection time is the easiest thing to promise.

Late-night hot food in Basingstoke and Deane: the council's own page
