Broadland's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 958 food businesses of every kind in Broadland: 60 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 135 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. East of England has 45 councils on the FSA list, and Broadland sits 34th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (135 against 60), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 139,652, Broadland has 4.3 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 7.2 in East of England. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 59 takeaway premises with a published rating, 61% hold a 5 and 8.5% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is close to the 62% average for England. In East of England as a whole, 67.4% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Broadland is below its region.

1 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 38 (63%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. The share rated 0 to 2 is higher than the England average (5.8%), so a visible good rating on your own site helps. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

Which kitchens are in Broadland

Looking at trading names, Broadland has one cuisine word that appear in 10 or more premises: 15 fish and chip. 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 edges ahead of the national rate in Broadland: 5 of 195 food premises (2.6%), against 1.7% across the UK (FSA, 13 November 2026). 2 of the 5 are in NR6, a district with 11 registered takeaways of every kind. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 0 of 195 (0.0%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Where Broadland's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Broadland are NR6 (11), NR13 (10), NR10 (10), out of 9 districts with at least one takeaway.

Broadland is spread out: only 27% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 89% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 10.4 miles away. Rural and town-by-town delivery needs separate zones per town, and collection with a time slot often beats long delivery runs. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

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