How many takeaways and restaurants Flintshire has

Flintshire registers 1,330 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 140 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 237 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 22 councils the FSA lists in Wales, Flintshire is number 11 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (237) outnumber takeaways (140), but takeaways are still about 11% of the 1,330 food premises of every kind that Flintshire registers.

Takeaway density: 9.0 premises per 10,000 residents (population 155,954, 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

133 takeaway premises in Flintshire have a published rating. 79.7% of them hold a 5, against 54.3% across Wales (+25.4 points), and 0.8% are rated 0 to 2.

7 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 81 (58%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. With so many 5s, a 4 or below stands out to a customer scrolling through options, so show your rating and fix anything that holds it down. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

The kitchens behind the names in Flintshire

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Flintshire has 3 words that reach 10: 24 pizza, 16 kebab, 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.

On the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, kebab or doner names are the most distinctive cuisine word in Flintshire: 17 of the 377 food premises (4.5%), against 1.7% across the UK, about 2.6 times the national rate. 8 of the 17 are in CH5, a district with 45 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 15 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 80% hold a 5, against 79.7% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Flintshire. For a kebab shop in Flintshire, that means more near-identical names on the same delivery apps, which makes a page of your own, linked from your Google listing, worth more. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 4 of 377 (1.1%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Postcode districts and delivery zones

Flintshire has takeaways in 7 postcode districts, and the three with the most are CH5 (45), CH7 (40), CH6 (19).

Half of the food premises in Flintshire are within 3 miles of the centre, 42% within 3 miles and 96% 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.

What stands out in Flintshire

• Flintshire has the number 3 most takeaway premises of the 6 council areas in North Wales.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 88% of rated takeaways in CH8 hold a 5, against 75% in CH4.
• Cheshire West and Chester, 8 miles away, has 297 takeaway premises against 140 in Flintshire, so Flintshire customers have fewer local rivals.
• CH5 alone holds 32% of the takeaway premises in Flintshire (45 of 140), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.

Late-night hot food in Flintshire: 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. Flintshire's council publishes its process here: Flintshire council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

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.
