What the food register shows for Fylde

Of the 850 food businesses registered in Fylde, 81 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 198 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Fylde ranks 34th of the 35 councils the FSA lists in the North West.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (198 against 81), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 9.3 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (86,689 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to the UK figure of 9.1 and 11.1 in the North West. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 67.1% of the 79 rated takeaway premises in Fylde hold a 5 and 3.8% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+5.1 points). In the North West as a whole, 54.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Fylde is above its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 50 (62%) 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.

Where the takeaways are, and what that means for delivery zones

By postcode district, FY8 has the most takeaway premises in Fylde (47), followed by PR4 (30) and FY3 (1).

75% of Fylde's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 2.2 miles, so a kitchen can usually cover its patch with one postcode-based zone; a short collection time is the easiest thing to promise. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Cuisines on the Fylde register

No single cuisine word (kebab, pizza, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, chicken, peri-peri, shawarma, fish and chip, burger) appears in 10 or more trading names in Fylde, so the market is a spread of independents rather than one dominant style. That favours a menu that is easy to find under its own name.

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.

Reading trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, Fylde stands out for Chinese or noodle: 11 premises, 3.9% of the 279 on the register, against 2.5% across the UK. 6 of the 11 are in FY8, a district with 47 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 11 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 73% hold a 5, against 67.1% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Fylde. A chinese takeaway here shares its streets with more lookalikes than the national average would predict, so a direct ordering page and a clear link on your Google Business Profile do more work. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 0 of 279 (0.0%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Fylde: 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 Fylde'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.
