What the food register shows for Havant

Of the 1,051 food businesses registered in Havant, 116 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 163 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Havant ranks 13th of the 64 councils the FSA lists in the South East.

Restaurants and cafés (163) outnumber takeaways (116), but takeaways are still about 11% of the 1,051 food premises of every kind that Havant registers.

Per head of population that is 9.1 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (127,362 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to the UK figure of 9.1 and 6.4 in the South East. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 88.9% of the 108 rated takeaway premises in Havant hold a 5 and 0.9% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+26.9 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Havant is above its region.

8 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 41 (35%) 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.

Cuisines on the Havant register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 3 cuisine words reach 10 premises in Havant: 20 pizza, 14 Indian-style, 14 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.

Indian or curry is the cuisine word that sets Havant apart. It appears in 13 of the area's 279 food premises (4.7%), where the UK rate is 2.2%, or 2.2 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 6 of the 13 are in PO9, a district with 48 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 80% hold a 5, against 88.9% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Havant. If you run an Indian restaurant here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 3 of 279 (1.1%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Havant: 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. Havant's council publishes its process here: Havant 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.
