How many takeaways and restaurants Causeway Coast and Glens has

Causeway Coast and Glens registers 1,476 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 144 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 325 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 11 councils the FSA lists in Northern Ireland, Causeway Coast and Glens is number 4 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (325 against 144), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Takeaway density: 10.2 premises per 10,000 residents (population 141,752, ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to 9.1 across the UK. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

140 takeaway premises in Causeway Coast and Glens have a published rating. 68.6% of them hold a 5, against 60.4% across Northern Ireland (+8.2 points), and 5% are rated 0 to 2.

4 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 81 (56%) 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.

The kitchens behind the names in Causeway Coast and Glens

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Causeway Coast and Glens has 3 words that reach 10: 25 pizza, 13 Chinese-style, 13 fish and chip.

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.

Among trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, pizza is the one that runs slightly above the UK rate in Causeway Coast and Glens: 25 premises, 5.3% against 4.6%. 5 of the 25 are in BT52, a district with 23 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 24 rated pizza-named premises, 92% hold a 5, against 68.6% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Causeway Coast and Glens. Indian or curry names are rarer than average: 2 of 469 (0.4%, against 2.2% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Causeway Coast and Glens: the council's own page

Northern Ireland has no late night refreshment licence. Instead a council can make a closing order for particular premises, stopping the supply of meals and refreshments between midnight and 5am where it is needed to prevent neighbours being unreasonably disturbed (article 5 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1985). Planning permission and food business registration still apply. The council's pages are here: Causeway Coast and Glens council (checked 13 November 2026). Ask the council whether a closing order covers your premises.

Our late night refreshment licence guide covers England and Wales; the rules in Northern Ireland are different. 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.
