Malvern Hills's food register in numbers
The Food Standards Agency register has 731 food businesses of every kind in Malvern Hills: 38 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 119 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The West Midlands has 30 councils on the FSA list, and Malvern Hills sits 30th of them for takeaway premises.
Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (119 against 38), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.
Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 84,380, Malvern Hills has 4.5 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 8.5 in the West Midlands. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.
Hygiene results for takeaways
| Rating | Takeaways in Malvern Hills | England average |
|---|---|---|
| Rated 5 | 69.4% | 62% |
| Rated 4 | 19.4% | 19.1% |
| Rated 3 | 8.3% | – |
| Rated 0 to 2 | 2.8% | 5.8% |
Of 36 takeaway premises with a published rating, 69.4% hold a 5 and 2.8% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+7.4 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Malvern Hills is above its region.
No takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection, and 20 (53%) 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.
Which kitchens are in Malvern Hills
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 Malvern Hills, 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.
Malvern Hills has no standout cuisine word. The most common in trading names is pizza, at 7 of 157 food premises (4.5%), close to the UK's 4.6% (FSA, 13 November 2026). Nothing dominates, so a kitchen here competes on its own name and menu; a direct ordering page makes that name easy to find and easy to order from. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 0 of 157 (0.0%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.
Where Malvern Hills's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones
The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Malvern Hills are WR14 (24), WR8 (7), WR15 (3), out of 6 districts with at least one takeaway.
| Postcode district | Takeaway premises | Rated 5 (of rated) |
|---|---|---|
| WR14 | 24 | 73% of 22 |
| WR8 | 7 | 57% of 7 |
| WR15 | 3 | – |
| WR13 | 2 | – |
| WR5 | 1 | – |
| WR6 | 1 | – |
Half of the food premises in Malvern Hills are within 1.3 miles of the centre, 58% within 3 miles and 86% within 10. That suits a close zone with a low minimum order plus a wider zone with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

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