What the food register shows for Bridgend
Of the 1,363 food businesses registered in Bridgend, 146 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 281 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Bridgend ranks 8th of the 22 councils the FSA lists in Wales.
Restaurants and cafés (281) outnumber takeaways (146), but takeaways are still about 11% of the 1,363 food premises of every kind that Bridgend registers.
Per head of population that is 9.9 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (146,986 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to the UK figure of 9.1. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.
Hygiene results for takeaways
| Rating | Takeaways in Bridgend | Wales average |
|---|---|---|
| Rated 5 | 47.8% | 54.3% |
| Rated 4 | 26.5% | 23.8% |
| Rated 3 | 20.6% | – |
| Rated 0 to 2 | 5.1% | 5% |
On hygiene, 47.8% of the 136 rated takeaway premises in Bridgend hold a 5 and 5.1% sit at 0 to 2; the Wales average for a 5 is 54.3% (-6.5 points).
10 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 83 (57%) 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.
Local patterns in Bridgend
- Bridgend has the number 5 most takeaway premises of the 10 council areas in South East Wales.
- Restaurants and cafés here do much better on hygiene ratings than takeaways: 67.5% hold a 5 against 47.8% for takeaways.
- Hygiene ratings differ by district: 65% of rated takeaways in CF36 hold a 5, against 31% in CF34.
- Rhondda Cynon Taf, 11 miles away, has 265 takeaway premises against 146 in Bridgend, so Bridgend customers have fewer local rivals.
- CF31 alone holds 25% of the takeaway premises in Bridgend (36 of 146), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
Cuisines on the Bridgend register
As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 5 cuisine words reach 10 premises in Bridgend: 23 pizza, 16 fish and chip, 14 Chinese-style and more.
| Trading name contains | Premises | Chefzi page |
|---|---|---|
| pizza | 23 | Pizza |
| fish and chip | 16 | Fish and chips |
| Chinese-style (Chinese, wok, noodle, Canton, Szechuan) | 14 | Chinese takeaways |
| Indian-style (Indian, tandoori, curry, balti, masala, biryani, tikka) | 13 | Indian restaurants |
| chicken | 10 | Chicken shops |
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 Bridgend: 15 of 427 food premises (3.5%), against 2.5% across the UK (FSA, 13 November 2026). 5 of the 15 are in CF32, a district with 28 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 15 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 47% hold a 5, against 47.8% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Bridgend. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 5 of 427 (1.2%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.
Where the takeaways are, and what that means for delivery zones
By postcode district, CF31 has the most takeaway premises in Bridgend (36), followed by CF32 (28) and CF34 (26).
| Postcode district | Takeaway premises | Rated 5 (of rated) |
|---|---|---|
| CF31 | 36 | 59% of 34 |
| CF32 | 28 | 50% of 26 |
| CF34 | 26 | 31% of 26 |
| CF36 | 24 | 65% of 20 |

44% of premises in Bridgend are within 3 miles of the middle of the area and 100% within 10 miles; half are within 4.2 miles. Most kitchens will want two zones, a close one with a low minimum order and a wider one with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.
Late-night hot food in Bridgend: 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. Bridgend's council publishes its process here: Bridgend 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.
