How many takeaways and restaurants Cannock Chase has

Cannock Chase registers 823 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 102 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 111 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 30 councils the FSA lists in the West Midlands, Cannock Chase is number 13 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (111) outnumber takeaways (102), but takeaways are still about 12% of the 823 food premises of every kind that Cannock Chase registers.

Takeaway density: 9.8 premises per 10,000 residents (population 104,299, ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to 9.1 across the UK and 8.5 in the West Midlands. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

100 takeaway premises in Cannock Chase have a published rating. 71% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+9.0 points), and 2% are rated 0 to 2. In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Cannock Chase is above its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 66 (65%) 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 Cannock Chase

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Cannock Chase has 3 words that reach 10: 18 fish and chip, 12 pizza, 11 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 is the cuisine word that sets Cannock Chase apart. It appears in 11 of the area's 213 food premises (5.2%), where the UK rate is 2.5%, or 2.1 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 4 of the 11 are in WS11, a district with 40 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 71.0% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Cannock Chase. If you run a Chinese takeaway here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 3 of 213 (1.4%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Postcode districts and delivery zones

the three with the most are WS11 (40), WS12 (31), WS15 (29).

75% of Cannock Chase's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 1.6 miles, so a kitchen can usually cover its patch with one postcode-based zone; a short collection time is the easiest thing to promise. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.
