What the food register shows for Huntingdonshire

Of the 1,550 food businesses registered in Huntingdonshire, 125 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 298 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Huntingdonshire ranks 14th of the 45 councils the FSA lists in East of England.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (298 against 125), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 6.5 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (191,941 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 7.2 in East of England. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 52.9% of the 121 rated takeaway premises in Huntingdonshire hold a 5 and 3.3% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (-9.1 points). In East of England as a whole, 67.4% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Huntingdonshire is below its region.

3 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 67 (54%) 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.

Local patterns in Huntingdonshire

• PE19 alone holds 26% of the takeaway premises in Huntingdonshire (32 of 125), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Huntingdonshire has the number 2 most takeaway premises of the 6 council areas in Cambridgeshire.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 70% of rated takeaways in PE19 hold a 5, against 25% in PE7.
• Huntingdonshire has 2.1 times as many takeaway premises as South Cambridgeshire (59), its nearest neighbour by food-premises centre.

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

By postcode district, PE19 has the most takeaway premises in Huntingdonshire (32), followed by PE28 (26) and PE29 (23).

Huntingdonshire is spread out: only 28% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 91% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 9.4 miles away. Rural and town-by-town delivery needs separate zones per town, and collection with a time slot often beats long delivery runs. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Cuisines on the Huntingdonshire register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 4 cuisine words reach 10 premises in Huntingdonshire: 27 pizza, 15 Indian-style, 14 fish and chip and more.

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 Huntingdonshire apart. It appears in 14 of the area's 423 food premises (3.3%), where the UK rate is 2.2%, or 1.5 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 5 of the 14 are in PE29, a district with 23 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 13 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 31% hold a 5, against 52.9% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Huntingdonshire. 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. These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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