The kitchens behind the names in Newry, Mourne and Down
Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Newry, Mourne and Down has 3 words that reach 10: 35 pizza, 16 Chinese-style, 13 fish and chip.
| Trading name contains | Premises | Chefzi page |
|---|---|---|
| pizza | 35 | Pizza |
| Chinese-style (Chinese, wok, noodle, Canton, Szechuan) | 16 | Chinese takeaways |
| fish and chip | 13 | Fish and chips |
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.

Late-night hot food in Newry, Mourne and Down: the council's own page
Northern Ireland has no late night refreshment licence. Instead a council can make a closing order for particular premises, stopping the supply of meals and refreshments between midnight and 5am where it is needed to prevent neighbours being unreasonably disturbed (article 5 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1985). Planning permission and food business registration still apply. The council's pages are here: Newry, Mourne and Down council (checked 13 November 2026). Ask the council whether a closing order covers your premises.
Our late night refreshment licence guide covers England and Wales; the rules in Northern Ireland are different. 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.
