Carmarthenshire's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 2,221 food businesses of every kind in Carmarthenshire: 204 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 413 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. Wales has 22 councils on the FSA list, and Carmarthenshire sits 5th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (413) outnumber takeaways (204), but takeaways are still about 9% of the 2,221 food premises of every kind that Carmarthenshire registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 190,037, Carmarthenshire has 10.7 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.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 151 takeaway premises with a published rating, 60.3% hold a 5 and 1.3% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 54.3% average for Wales (+6.0 points).

53 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 40 (20%) 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.

Which kitchens are in Carmarthenshire

Looking at trading names, Carmarthenshire has 5 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 27 pizza, 23 fish and chip, 16 Chinese-style and more. 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.

Carmarthenshire has no standout cuisine word. The most common in trading names is pizza, at 27 of 617 food premises (4.4%), close to the UK's 4.6% (FSA, 13 November 2026). Nothing dominates, so a kitchen here competes on its own name and menu; a direct ordering page makes that name easy to find and easy to order from. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 617 (0.3%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Carmarthenshire compared with elsewhere

• 26% of takeaway premises (53) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 70% of rated takeaways in SA31 hold a 5, against 47% in SA15.
• Carmarthenshire and Swansea (15 miles apart) are close in size: 204 and 259 takeaway premises.
• SA15 alone holds 25% of the takeaway premises in Carmarthenshire (52 of 204), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Carmarthenshire has the number 2 most takeaway premises of the 4 council areas in South West Wales.

Late-night hot food in Carmarthenshire: 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. We could not open Carmarthenshire's licensing page automatically, so ask the council's licensing team for its current process and fees.

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.
