Blaenau Gwent's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 674 food businesses of every kind in Blaenau Gwent: 92 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 68 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. Wales has 22 councils on the FSA list, and Blaenau Gwent sits 17th of them for takeaway premises.

There are more takeaway and sandwich shop premises than restaurants and cafés here (92 against 68), which is unusual and means the competition for a phone order is mostly other takeaways.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 67,593, Blaenau Gwent has 13.6 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, above the UK rate of 9.1. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Of 82 takeaway premises with a published rating, 31.7% hold a 5 and 9.8% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 54.3% average for Wales (-22.6 points).

Which kitchens are in Blaenau Gwent

Looking at trading names, Blaenau Gwent has 3 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 15 fish and chip, 13 pizza, 11 kebab. This is a rough guide, not a cuisine census.

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.

Kebab or doner is the cuisine word that sets Blaenau Gwent apart. It appears in 11 of the area's 160 food premises (6.9%), where the UK rate is 1.7%, or 3.9 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 4 of the 11 are in NP22, a district with 18 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 11 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 27% hold a 5, against 31.7% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Blaenau Gwent. If you run a kebab shop here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 160 (1.2%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Blaenau Gwent: 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. Blaenau Gwent's council publishes its process here: Blaenau Gwent 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.
