How East Sussex compares with the UK
Takeaway density in East Sussex is 7.3 premises for every 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 (population: ONS mid-2025 estimate, 846,025). That puts East Sussex 19th of 33 on this site's county pages for takeaways per 10,000 people.
Per head, Hastings leads East Sussex on 11.9 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, while Wealden sits at 4.3.
Rated takeaways that hold a 5: 79.9% in Brighton and Hove, 50.7% in Wealden, so the area average of 71.5% hides a 29.2-point spread.
Brighton and Hove alone holds 41% of the 615 takeaway and sandwich shop premises in East Sussex.
43% of East Sussex's takeaways were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 46% nationally.
The most common cuisine words in trading names, as a share of all takeaway and restaurant premises: pizza 1.3% (UK 1.5%); fish and chips 1.0% (UK 0.9%); indian 0.6% (UK 0.7%). These are name-keyword counts, so they miss shops with other names.
The takeaways are spread over 32 postcode districts; the six below account for 60% of the total.
| Postcode district | Takeaways | Share of area | Rated 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BN1 | 102 | 17% | 80% |
| BN2 | 71 | 12% | 78% |
| BN3 | 70 | 11% | 83% |
| TN34 | 50 | 8% | 73% |
| BN21 | 38 | 6% | 73% |
| TN37 | 36 | 6% | 64% |
Figures come from the FSA register pull of 13 November 2026 and the ONS mid-2025 population estimates. Small areas move a lot between inspections, so read them as a guide, not a verdict on any business.
Late-night hot food (11pm to 5am) is handled by each council, so the rules and forms differ between the areas above. Each area page links its own council's licensing page where we found one, and the late night refreshment licence guide covers the general rules.
