Ceredigion's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,089 food businesses of every kind in Ceredigion: 66 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 242 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. Wales has 22 councils on the FSA list, and Ceredigion sits 21st of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (242 against 66), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 72,696, Ceredigion has 9.1 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, close to 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 66 takeaway premises with a published rating, 65.2% hold a 5 and 4.5% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 54.3% average for Wales (+10.9 points).

No takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection, and 28 (42%) 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 Ceredigion

Looking at trading names, Ceredigion has one cuisine word that appear in 10 or more premises: 11 pizza. 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.

On the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, Indian or curry is the cuisine word that stands out most in Ceredigion, a little above the national rate: 8 of the 308 food premises (2.6%), against 2.2% across the UK. 2 of the 8 are in SA43, a district with 15 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 8 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 65.2% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Ceredigion. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 1 of 308 (0.3%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Ceredigion compared with elsewhere

• Unusually, takeaways in Ceredigion rate as well as restaurants and cafés on hygiene: 65.2% hold a 5 against 63.9% for restaurants and cafés.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 87% of rated takeaways in SA43 hold a 5, against 50% in SA45.
• Carmarthenshire, 30 miles away, has 204 takeaway premises against 66 in Ceredigion, so Ceredigion customers have fewer local rivals.
• Ceredigion leans towards restaurants and cafés: 3.7 for every takeaway, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sit-down kitchens adding collection and delivery are the growth route.
• SY23 alone holds 33% of the takeaway premises in Ceredigion (22 of 66), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.

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

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Ceredigion are SY23 (22), SA43 (15), SA45 (8), out of 9 districts with at least one takeaway.

Ceredigion is spread out: only 0% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 21% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 26.1 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 Ceredigion: 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 Ceredigion'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.
