Great Yarmouth's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,106 food businesses of every kind in Great Yarmouth: 174 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 240 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. East of England has 45 councils on the FSA list, and Great Yarmouth sits 7th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (240) outnumber takeaways (174), but takeaways are still about 16% of the 1,106 food premises of every kind that Great Yarmouth registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 100,957, Great Yarmouth has 17.2 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, above the UK rate of 9.1 and 7.2 in East of England. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 168 takeaway premises with a published rating, 62.5% hold a 5 and 7.1% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is close to the 62% average for England. In East of England as a whole, 67.4% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Great Yarmouth is below its region.

6 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 95 (55%) 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 Great Yarmouth's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Great Yarmouth are NR30 (85), NR31 (49), NR29 (28).

Food premises in Great Yarmouth are close together: 79% sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area (half are within 0.9 miles). A single postcode-based delivery zone per kitchen works well, and a short collection time is the main selling point. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Local set-up: Kebab shop ordering in Great Yarmouth.

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 Great Yarmouth: 19 of the 414 food premises (4.6%), against 1.7% across the UK, about 2.6 times the national rate. 11 of the 19 are in NR30, a district with 85 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 18 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 39% hold a 5, against 62.5% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Great Yarmouth. For a kebab shop in Great Yarmouth, 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 414 (1.0%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Great Yarmouth: 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 Great Yarmouth'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.
