How Lancashire compares with the UK
Takeaway density in Lancashire is 12.0 premises for every 10,000 residents, above the UK rate of 9.1 (population: ONS mid-2025 estimate, 1,615,860). Ranked against the other 32 counties here, Lancashire comes 2nd on takeaway density.
Blackpool is the most takeaway-dense council area in Lancashire (20.2 per 10,000 residents) and West Lancashire the least (8.4).
On hygiene, the share of rated takeaways that hold a 5 runs from 38.7% in Wyre to 86.7% in South Ribble, a gap of 48.0 percentage points.
Blackpool alone holds 15% of the 1,934 takeaway and sandwich shop premises in Lancashire.
Across the UK 46% of takeaway premises carry an inspection from the last 12 months; in Lancashire it is 49%.
The most common cuisine words in trading names, as a share of all takeaway and restaurant premises: pizza 1.4% (UK 1.5%); fish and chips 1.4% (UK 0.9%); chinese 0.8% (UK 0.8%). These are name-keyword counts, so they miss shops with other names.
46 postcode districts have at least one takeaway, with the six busiest holding 34%.

| PR1 | 165 | 9% | 72% |

Late-night hot food (11pm to 5am) is handled by each council, so the rules and forms differ between the areas above. Each area page links its own council's licensing page where we found one, and the late night refreshment licence guide covers the general rules.
