How many takeaways and restaurants Bassetlaw has

Bassetlaw registers 1,105 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 112 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 219 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 35 councils the FSA lists in the East Midlands, Bassetlaw is number 12 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (219) outnumber takeaways (112), but takeaways are still about 10% of the 1,105 food premises of every kind that Bassetlaw registers.

Takeaway density: 8.9 premises per 10,000 residents (population 126,454, ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to 9.1 across the UK and 9.1 in the East Midlands. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

109 takeaway premises in Bassetlaw have a published rating. 96.3% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+34.3 points), and 0% are rated 0 to 2. In the East Midlands as a whole, 69.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Bassetlaw is above its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 52 (46%) 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.

The kitchens behind the names in Bassetlaw

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Bassetlaw has 3 words that reach 10: 18 pizza, 18 fish and chip, 10 Chinese-style.

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.

Chinese or noodle edges ahead of the national rate in Bassetlaw: 10 of 331 food premises (3.0%), against 2.5% across the UK (FSA, 13 November 2026). 4 of the 10 are in DN22, a district with 29 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 100% hold a 5, against 96.3% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Bassetlaw. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 3 of 331 (0.9%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Bassetlaw: the council's own page

Serving hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am normally needs a late night refreshment licence under the Licensing Act 2003, issued by the local council. Bassetlaw's council publishes its process here: Bassetlaw council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

The general rules, the 11pm to 5am window and what to ask are in the late night refreshment licence guide. 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.
