East Staffordshire's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,219 food businesses of every kind in East Staffordshire: 105 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 253 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The West Midlands has 30 councils on the FSA list, and East Staffordshire sits 12th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (253 against 105), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 131,541, East Staffordshire has 8.0 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 and 8.5 in the West Midlands. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 95 takeaway premises with a published rating, 50.5% hold a 5 and 7.4% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 62% average for England (-11.5 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so East Staffordshire is below its region.

9 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 29 (28%) 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 East Staffordshire

Looking at trading names, East Staffordshire has 2 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 21 pizza, 14 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.

Among trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, kebab or doner is the one that runs slightly above the UK rate in East Staffordshire: 8 premises, 2.2% against 1.7%. 6 of the 8 are in DE14, a district with 46 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 8 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 38% hold a 5, against 50.5% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in East Staffordshire. Indian or curry names are rarer than average: 5 of 358 (1.4%, against 2.2% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

East Staffordshire compared with elsewhere

• 9% of takeaway premises (9) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 80% of rated takeaways in ST14 hold a 5, against 36% in DE15.
• East Staffordshire has 1.4 times as many takeaway premises as South Derbyshire (73), its nearest neighbour by food-premises centre.
• DE14 alone holds 44% of the takeaway premises in East Staffordshire (46 of 105), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• East Staffordshire has the number 3 most takeaway premises of the 9 council areas in Staffordshire.

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

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in East Staffordshire are DE14 (46), DE13 (23), ST14 (20), out of 5 districts with at least one takeaway.

Half of the food premises in East Staffordshire are within 1.3 miles of the centre, 66% within 3 miles and 81% within 10. That suits a close zone with a low minimum order plus a wider zone with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Late-night hot food in East Staffordshire: 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 East Staffordshire'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.
